Inanda is a large area north-west of Durban, next to Phoenix, KwaMashu and Ntuzuma, and home to important heritage sites such as the Ohlange Institute founded by John Dube. Housing ranges from formal homes in Inanda Newtown to RDP houses and extensive informal settlements.
LPG is a daily cooking fuel for a great many households here. The gas jobs that matter most are safe, fixed connections in place of loose hoses, cylinders kept outside and caged, landlords certifying backyard rooms, and small food businesses getting their kitchens connected and certified properly.

Get Gas Installer QuotesWorth Knowing
- Never decant gas. Filling a small cylinder from a large one is illegal and a common cause of fires in dense housing. Exchange cylinders with a reputable supplier.
- Keep the cylinder outside. A cylinder in a cage outside the room, with an approved regulator and short hose, is far safer than one next to the stove.
- A cage pays for itself. Cylinder theft is common. A bolted, locked cage usually costs less than replacing one cylinder.
- Check the installer is registered. Ask for an LPGSASA authorised person number and its expiry date. Only a registered installer can issue a valid certificate.
