Through its pipeline networks, Firstgas connects natural gas to over 300,000 homes, businesses, and large industries everyday.
Firstgas supplies over 65,000 residential, business and industrial customers with natural gas every day. Through our extensive pipeline network, we’re able to supply a safe and reliable source of natural gas through our network of pipelines direct to factories, offices, restaurants, hospitals and homes in Whangarei, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Central Plateau, Gisborne and Kapiti.
If natural gas is not available, why not explore LPG options with Rockgas?
