Is a Gas Unit Right for Your House
You run out of hot water early
A continuous flow unit heats water as the taps call for it, so a full household queueing for showers never empties it.
Gas already runs to the meter
Connecting a new gas unit to an existing line is a simple gasfitting job.
The unit needs to breathe outside
Gas systems vent through a flue, which is why they sit outdoors or vent through an external wall.
You have solar collectors
A gas booster covers the cloudy stretches, so the roof keeps doing the work and the burner only steps in when it must.
How Gas Hot Water Jobs Run
- We check the unit you have, the supply at the meter and the spot the new system will occupy, then quote the full job.
- The old unit is drained and disconnected, with the water and gas isolation valves closed to make the swap safe.
- The new tank or wall unit goes in and is tied to the water side and, where it applies, to the gas supply.
- The tempering valve is set to keep bathroom and shower water at 50°C or cooler, while tank water stays at 60°C so bacteria cannot take hold.
- We light the burner, run a full heating cycle, then show you how the controls work before we leave.
What Moves the Price of a Gas Unit
The hardware itself
A wall-mounted continuous flow unit and a ground-level tank are different machines with different fittings, and the quote follows the unit.
Position and access
A unit tucked down a narrow side passage or behind a shed takes longer to swap than one sitting in the open off the back step.
The gas connection
A house that has never held a gas appliance needs more fitting work than a straight changeover over an existing line.
Valves that need renewal
Tempering and relief valves often travel with a new unit, and their replacement sits in the figure.
We price your hot water job up front as one fixed figure, and you decide whether we go ahead. There are no hidden fees with our flat-rate pricing, no surcharge for nights, weekends or public holidays, and the option to fix now, pay later.
Gas Units on These Streets
Sockets built for electricity
The post-war family houses along Newman Road went up on electric supply, so a gas unit landing there usually takes over from a retired electric tank, with the gas run fresh rather than reused. If the old tank has simply reached the end, our hot water replacement page explains the swap.
Yards wide enough to flue
Census figures put flats at just 6.3 per cent of dwellings, so the suburb remains almost entirely separate houses, which leaves an outside wall with clearance for nearly every install. Fresh builds and extensions are covered on our hot water installation page.
Storms, not frost
This postcode records zero frost days, so pilot and ignition parts never fight a freezing start. What an outdoor unit here really weathers is summer storm season along the creek flats, so we check cover and drainage wherever one sits.
Wavell Heights Hot Water Services sets every outdoor unit with those conditions in mind.
Where the Job Stops
When we're not the right call: a fault at the gas meter or out in the supply main belongs to the gas distributor, and a manufacturer warranty claim goes back to the maker. If you smell gas, do not relight the unit, shut the gas off at the meter, ring the gas distributor's emergency line first, then contact us about the system itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3522 5629Do gas hot water units cope with a Wavell Heights winter?
They do, because the suburb's climate records list zero frost days, so a gas storage tank or wall unit starts without the cold-weather struggles some systems face further out.
Does an Energex supply matter if I pick a gas hot water unit?
Gas does the heating, though an Energex circuit still powers the ignition and controls, and any new power point would be electrician work rather than ours.
What does the Urban Utilities supply mean for a gas unit hookup?
The water your gas unit heats comes from Urban Utilities, and we tie the new system into that supply with the meter, isolation valve and fittings it needs.
Will a continuous flow gas unit fit the post-war houses around Newman Road?
Yes, since the wall units hang outside with clearance for the flue, and the generous yards on these post-war blocks give plenty of compliant spots to choose from.
Is mains gas available in Wavell Heights, or will I need bottles?
We check the supply at your meter before recommending anything, and where bottles suit the block better, an LPG-fed gas system does the identical heating job.
How do I book a gas hot water job in Wavell Heights?
Ring (07) 3522 5629 or send the form with the unit's details and where it sits, and Wavell Heights Hot Water Services will arrange a visit and a written quote.
