Soshanguve is large, spread out and still growing southward, and gas cooking is close to universal across it. The student rental market around the campuses adds a second layer: a great many small units, each needing a single safe cooking appliance and a landlord who can show it was properly installed.
Distance from the eastern installer base is the practical thing to plan around. Coverage in the north-west is thinner than in Pretoria East, so quotes take slightly longer and travel is occasionally a legitimate line.

Ask for travel as a separate line rather than accepting a higher rate. The north-west has fewer installers than the east, and a stated travel charge from an installer who knows the area is more honest, and usually cheaper, than an inflated metre rate.
Ranges are for sanity-checking. Quotes are for deciding.
Get Gas Installer QuotesWorth Knowing
- Find a northern-based installer where you can. Several installers work the north-west routinely and quote the same job without a travel line. It is the single biggest saving available here.
- Landlords should certify per unit. Where several rented rooms each have a cooking appliance, each fixed installation is certified. It is inexpensive per unit and it is what an insurer expects.
- Exchange cylinders, never decant. Transferring gas from a large cylinder into a small one is illegal and the leading cause of serious LPG incidents. Use a supplier that exchanges brand-matched cylinders.
- A 9kg cylinder suits a single room. It runs a four-plate hob for four to eight weeks. For a small rental unit it is the right size and the cheapest to keep supplied.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there gas installers covering Soshanguve?
Yes, though fewer than in Pretoria East. Expect two to three working days for residential quotes, and look for installers based in the north-west so travel does not land on the price.
How much is a gas hob installation here?
R4,500 to R7,500 for a hob on a new 9kg cylinder with the line and regulator, excluding the hob. An existing compliant gas point brings it down to R1,600 to R3,200.
I rent out rooms to students. What do I need?
A fixed, properly installed cooking appliance per unit with a compliant cylinder position, and a certificate for each installation. Secured cylinders are worth the cage cost on let property.
Is it safe to buy gas from a local outlet?
Only where cylinders are exchanged rather than decanted. Decanting is illegal and dangerous, and the price difference is never worth the risk.
Do installers charge travel to the north-west?
Sometimes, and it is legitimate given the distance from where most installers are based. Ask for it as a separate line so you can compare the underlying work.
How much is a gas CoC in Soshanguve?
R950 to R2,200 for a single appliance and R1,600 to R3,800 where a property has several gas points.
