Benoni's lakeside suburbs, Rynfield, Farrarmere, Northmead and the stands around the lakes, are built for entertaining, and that shows up in the gas work. Built-in braais, patio heaters, fireplaces and outdoor kitchens are as common here as the kitchen hob.
On the larger stands and the smallholdings around Brentwood Park, the distance between a sensible cylinder position and the appliances becomes a real design question.

Benoni quotes climb with the number of appliances and the length of the run rather than with the appliances themselves. On a large stand, a cylinder bank sited properly for clearances and delivery access can sit a long way from the patio and the kitchen.
Ranges are for sanity-checking. Quotes are for deciding.
Get Gas Installer QuotesWorth Knowing
- Design for every appliance at once. A braai, fireplace and geyser added over several years ends up on undersized pipe. One properly sized supply is cheaper than three upgrades.
- Outdoor hardware ages faster. Hose and regulators on open patios take hail and ultraviolet all year. Rigid pipe to the braai position lasts far longer.
- Fireplaces use more gas than people expect. Regular winter use can empty a 48kg cylinder in a few weeks, so cylinder capacity usually has to grow when one is added.
- Bulk is worth pricing on big properties. Where a household is changing several 48kg cylinders a month, a small bulk tank can make sense on a smallholding.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a built-in gas braai installation cost in Benoni?
Commonly R3,500 to R9,500 for the gas work where a supply exists, excluding the braai. A new line from the cylinder position to the patio adds to that by the metre.
Can one set of cylinders run my braai, hob and geyser?
Yes, if the pipework and cylinder capacity are sized for all of them running together. Two 48kg cylinders on automatic changeover is typical.
How much gas does a fireplace use?
A lot in winter. Most evenings of use can consume a 48kg cylinder in two to four weeks on the fireplace alone.
Is bulk LPG realistic on a Benoni smallholding?
It can be, where consumption is high and there is room for the tank's clearance distances and delivery access. Price it against a cylinder bank.
Does an outdoor braai need a certificate?
A fixed braai connected to the gas installation forms part of it and should be certified. A portable braai on its own small cylinder does not.
How much is a residential CoC in Benoni?
R950 to R2,200 for a single appliance and R1,600 to R3,800 for a home with several gas points.
