Gas Systems and Where They Fit
Local Red Hill Hot Water works on both gas setups, and each one suits a different kind of home:
Gas storage
A tank with a burner underneath, lit by a pilot or electronic ignition, with a thermocouple and gas control valve handling the safety side and a flue carrying fumes clear.
Continuous flow
No tank at all. A heat exchanger warms water only while it flows, and the gas supply and pipe size decide how many outlets run together.
Where gas wins
Quick recovery after a full house of showers, no roof collectors needed, and a compact footprint that frees up floor space on a tight block.
LPG
Where no main reaches the street, bottled LPG drives the same units, with bottle placement worked out on site during the install.
How We Fit a Gas System
- 1
Confirm the supply
We establish whether the house is on the gas mains or running bottles, then check the meter or bottle capacity and the pipe size feeding the unit.
- 2
Size the unit
Household size and shower habits decide the tank capacity or the flow rate, so the system matches the way you actually use hot water.
- 3
Fit and connect
The old unit comes out if there is one, the new system goes in with its isolation valve, tempering valve and flue, and the gas connection is made by a licensed gasfitter.
- 4
Commission it
Water goes in, the burner runs a full heat cycle, we confirm the thermostat holds the tank at 60°C so Legionella cannot grow, and you get a run-through of the valves and settings.

What Moves a Gas Quote
Local Red Hill Hot Water prices each gas job in full, and these points move the figure:
Unit type
A storage tank and a continuous flow unit price differently, and the capacity or flow rate you need shifts the number again.
Gas connection work
A new bottle setup, or supply pipe that needs upsizing for a bigger unit, adds to the job.
Where the unit sits
A unit tucked beside a weatherboard wall or down a terrace takes longer to reach and flue than one standing clear.
Valves and removal
Tempering or isolation valve upgrades, and carting the old unit off site, are part of the quote.
Every hot water job is quoted as a fixed price before any work starts, and nothing goes ahead until you say yes. We keep to flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees and no surcharge for nights, weekends or public holidays. Fix now, pay later is available as well.
Gas Hot Water Among the Cottages
Separate houses, mostly
Census figures put 64.9 per cent of local homes in separate houses, most of them pre-1940 weatherboard cottages, and a gas unit suits those floor plans without needing the roof space a restoration might want for other things.
Narrow side paths and steep falls
Blocks cut into the hillside leave tight setbacks, so bottle placement and flue clearance get sorted on site rather than assumed off a plan.
Renovation timing
Walls opened up during a restoration are the easy moment to run new gas lines, and plenty of cottages here have been through more than one round of work since the 1970s.
When Gas Is Not the Right Call
A fault at the gas meter or in the supply itself belongs to the gas distributor's emergency line, and any electrical booster wiring on a gas storage tank is a licensed electrician's call. Everything from the unit out to the taps stays with us.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 7167Is gas hot water worth it in a Red Hill cottage?
Usually yes, because gas storage reheats a tank quickly and continuous flow never runs out, which suits the narrow floor plans and compact lots of the pre-1940 weatherboard cottages here.
Can LPG run a gas hot water system in Red Hill?
It can, because bottled LPG runs the same units, so cottages on streets without a gas main still get gas hot water, with the bottles sited and regulated during the install.
Does Urban Utilities affect a gas hot water job here?
Only slightly, since a gas unit connects to the same water pipes as any other system, and Urban Utilities becomes involved only if the street main itself fails rather than your unit.
Do continuous flow gas units suit tight Red Hill blocks?
They do, because a tankless unit frees the floor space a cylinder eats, though we position it clear of bedroom windows since these compact lots put the rooms close together.
How long does a gas install take on a terraced Red Hill block?
Most gas installs finish in one visit, but steep access, an LPG changeover or supply pipe upsizing adds hours, and the fixed quote sets out the full picture before any work starts.
