Gas Hot Water Mitchelton

Is Gas the Right Fit Here
Gas suits homes that use a lot of hot water and want it back quickly. The two layouts behave differently, so the choice comes down to how your household runs:
Gas storage tanks
heat a cylinder with a burner and hold it ready. A family running several showers close together rarely notices the refill.
Continuous flow units
heat on demand, so the supply never runs out. The flow rate decides how many taps run at once.
LPG bottle setups
do the same job where a house has no gas connection, with a changeover regulator keeping the supply steady.
Position counts
, because outdoor units need open airflow and clearance away from bedroom windows and doors.
Not sure which way to jump? Mitchelton Same Day Hot Water can test your flow and gas supply before you commit. The hot water installation page walks through choosing and placing a new system, and the hot water replacement page covers the swap when an old tank is finished.
How a Gas Job Runs
Every gas job follows the same sequence, whatever the brand on the box:
- 1
Check the gas supply
We measure the pipe size and, on bottle setups, the regulator capacity, because a continuous flow unit draws hard when several outlets run together.
- 2
Size the unit
The number of outlets and the people in the house set the flow rate or tank volume, and we match the unit to that rather than guess.
- 3
Fit the unit and flue
We mount it with the airflow and clearances it needs and run the flue so combustion gases go where they should.
- 4
Commission and test
We fill the system, fire the burner, test the temperature and pressure relief valve, and confirm the tempering valve keeps water at the taps to 50°C or cooler.

Pricing a Gas Hot Water Job
The quote reflects the job in front of us, and four things move it most:
The unit type
, because a storage tank and a continuous flow unit carry different parts and different labour.
Where it sits and the flue run
, since an outdoor wall mount is a simpler proposition than an internal install with a long flue path.
The gas supply itself
, because pipe sizing, a new regulator or a bottle changeover can all be part of feeding the new unit properly.
The valve work
, including the tempering valve and relief valve that every compliant system needs.
You get a fixed quote for the whole hot water job first, and we only start once you've approved it. Flat-rate pricing means no hidden fees and no extra fee for weekend or after-hours call-outs, and you can fix now, pay later.
Gas Systems in the Older Streets
Character pockets, older pipe
Some pre-1947 houses around Grovely Terrace and Keylar Street still run their original galvanised supply piping, which restricts flow, and that matters for gas because a continuous flow unit needs a steady stream to fire properly. We test flow first so the unit is sized to what the pipe actually delivers.
Damp air, outdoor units
Kedron Brook leaves the air along its banks moist through the warmer months, and gas units bolted to outside walls breathe it all year. A flue choked with leaf litter or a unit jammed against a wall loses the airflow it needs, so we check both instead of assuming.
Bottles where lines don't reach
Plenty of older homes here have never had a gas connection, and LPG bottles cover that gap. Mitchelton Same Day Hot Water sizes the regulator and changeover so the unit never starves at full draw.
When We're Not the Right Call
A fault at the gas meter or in the supply main belongs to the gas distributor, not to us, and a gas smell is always their emergency line first. Once the supply side is safe, we take over the unit itself. For a faulty part on an otherwise healthy system, hot water repairs is the page to read.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 1736Do older Mitchelton homes suit a continuous flow unit?
Usually yes, though some pre-1947 houses around Grovely Terrace still run original galvanised piping, so we test flow and pressure first to confirm the unit will fire properly before quoting.
Can a gas storage tank keep up with a big Mitchelton household?
It can, because the burner refills the cylinder between showers, and we size the tank to your household and the number of outlets so morning and evening peaks stay comfortable.
Does damp air near Kedron Brook affect outdoor gas units?
It can, because the moist air along Kedron Brook and leaf litter in older yards can choke a flue or crowd the airflow, so we clear and test both on every gas visit.
Should I call the gas distributor first for a gas smell in Mitchelton?
Yes, because a gas leak is never a plumbing booking, so turn the gas off at the meter, keep everyone clear and ring the gas distributor's emergency line before you ring us.
Does an LPG bottle setup change the quote?
It can, because bottle capacity and the changeover regulator matter for storage and continuous flow alike, so we inspect your bottles and include any supply work in the fixed quote.
