Gas installation is regulated work. It must be carried out by an installer registered with the relevant authority, and it must be signed off with a Certificate of Conformity.
Without that certificate an insurer can decline a claim, so it is not optional paperwork. Wider scope is under Kitchen Renovations Cape Town.
Say whether there is an existing gas point and where the bottle can be housed.

These are indicative market ranges, not a quotation. They are compiled from published South African kitchen pricing to give you a starting point for budgeting. They are not the rate card of any company on this platform.
Get the Certificate of Conformity in your hand before the final payment. It is the only proof the installation is compliant, and obtaining it retrospectively from an installer who has moved on is difficult and sometimes impossible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a certificate for a gas hob?
Yes. A Certificate of Conformity from a registered installer is legally required, and an insurer can decline a claim without it.
Where must the gas bottle go?
Outside, in a ventilated housing, at a regulated distance from doors, windows, drains and boundaries. Your installer will confirm the distances for your property.
How much does a gas hob installation cost?
R6,500 to R25,000 for the hob supplied and installed, plus R2,500 to R8,500 for the gas point and piping, and R850 to R2,500 for the certificate.
Is gas cheaper to run than electricity?
Usually per unit of heat, and it keeps working during load-shedding, which is the more common reason people switch in Cape Town.
