Komani, still widely known as Queenstown, is the main town of the Chris Hani District and the seat of the Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality. It serves a large surrounding area with shops, schools and hospitals, and its suburbs and townships, such as Ezibeleni and Mlungisi, house a sizeable population.
Komani sits inland with cold winters and frosty nights, so gas heaters and fireplaces are common alongside gas hobs and geysers, and load-shedding pushed many households to switch cooking and hot water to LPG. As the regional centre, it is also the base for installers who travel out to smaller towns across the district.

Get Gas Installer QuotesWorth Knowing
- Winter demand is high. Book heater and fireplace work before the cold sets in, as installers are busiest in May and June.
- Commercial kitchens need sizing. Restaurants should have pipework and cylinders sized for all burners running at once.
- Ventilation saves lives. Gas heaters need fresh air. Do not block vents or sleep with a heater running.
- Komani is the district base. Many installers covering Cala, Elliot, Cofimvaba and surrounds are based here, so local quotes are often competitive.
