Komga is a small inland town on the N2 between East London and the Great Kei River, and the administrative seat of the Great Kei Local Municipality. It is surrounded by farmland, and the town supports both its own residents and the farming community around it, along with traffic passing through on the main route to the Transkei.
Without piped gas, LPG is used for cooking and water heating in town and on farms, where homesteads, cottages and staff houses can be spread out. Inland winters are noticeably cooler than on the coast, which brings gas heaters into use during the colder months in both town and farm homes.

Get Gas Installer QuotesWorth Knowing
- Each staff house needs its own safe setup. Separate cylinders, correct hoses and outside positions are safer than shared or improvised connections.
- Long runs add up quickly. At R450 to R950 per metre, it is worth discussing whether moving the cylinder closer is allowed and practical.
- Old farm installations deserve a check. Fittings put in decades ago may not meet current standards, so an inspection is sensible before relying on them.
- Heaters need fresh air. Use gas heaters in ventilated rooms and turn them off before sleeping.
