Whether Gas Suits Your Home
Gas heating suits households that use plenty of hot water and want quick recovery between showers. The two types behave differently:
Gas storage
A burner under the tank heats a full cylinder, with a pilot light or electronic ignition and a thermocouple keeping the flame honest. Good for back-to-back showers.
Instant gas
A heat exchanger heats water as it passes through, so the supply never runs out. The flow rate decides how many taps run at once.
Both types
need a gas connection, either mains or an LPG bottle setup, plus a safe flue route for combustion fumes.
If your current gas unit is misbehaving rather than finished, our hot water repairs page covers part fixes, while a dead cylinder belongs on the hot water replacement page.
How We Fit a Gas System
- 1
Gas supply check
We size the line and meter capacity first, because an instant unit draws heavily at full flow and a skinny pipe will starve it.
- 2
Position and flue
The unit goes where the flue can run clean to open air, with clearances from windows and doors, and the cylinder on a sound base.
- 3
Connections and valves
We fit the gas control valve, the temperature and pressure relief valve, and a tempering valve so bathroom water stays safe.
- 4
Commissioning
The system fills, storage water is held at 60°C to stop Legionella, the tempering valve caps tap water at 50°C, and we test every joint before we leave.

Pricing a Gas Hot Water Job
The quote reflects the work your house actually needs, and these are the things that move it:
- Length of the gas run and whether the pipe sizing needs upgrading for the new unit's flow.
- The flue route, since a long or awkward run through an old roofline adds labour.
- Switching from electric to gas, which means new connections on the gas side and a different footprint.
- Access, because a cylinder in a tight under-house space takes longer to swap than one on an open wall.
Your hot water job is priced up front as a fixed quote, and no work begins until you've agreed to it. We work on flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees, and there's no extra charge for nights, weekends or public holidays. You can also fix now, pay later.
Gas Systems Around Local Homes
Raised houses carry the older stock
Much of the pre-1940 housing here sits on stumps, from Queenslanders to the 1940s to 1960s brick veneer that followed it, and that under-floor space suits a gas storage cylinder with a short, straight flue.
Infill blocks want compact units
The townhouses and units built near the village centre have no room for a bulky cylinder, so a wall-hung instant gas unit on an outside wall often fits the footprint better.
No gas connection is not a dead end
Homes without one can still run gas on bottles, and the bottle spot and changeover gear get worked into the quote from the start. Newmarket Same Day Hot Water prices all three paths the same way, on the job in front of us.
When a Gas Job Isn't Ours
A fault at the meter or in the supply side belongs to your gas distributor, so we're not the right call there and we say so rather than charge for a visit that fixes nothing. Once the supply is sound, the unit itself is ours to sort.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 1856Do raised Queenslanders in Newmarket suit gas storage?
They do, the space under a raised house here leaves room for a cylinder and a straight flue run, though we check how damp the ground sits before recommending a position.
Can an instant gas unit fit a Newmarket townhouse?
Usually, wall-mounted continuous flow units take up little room, but the gas pipe sizing has to match the flow rate, so we measure the existing line before we quote.
What if I smell gas around a hot water system in Newmarket?
Leave the unit alone, shut the gas off at the meter, and ring your gas distributor's emergency line first, because a supply fault sits with them before it becomes plumbing work.
Is LPG workable for a Newmarket home without mains gas?
Yes, bottle-fed LPG runs storage and instant gas units well, and the bottle position and changeover setup get planned into the install quote so nothing surprises you later.
Should I check the manufacturer's warranty on an older gas unit?
It is worth checking, since a cylinder still inside the manufacturer's warranty might need only a part, and we give you a straight read either way once we have looked.
