Gas Systems and the Homes They Suit
Two gas setups cover most households, and each suits a different kind of home:
Gas storage
A burner heats water that waits in the cylinder, with ignition, a thermocouple and a gas control valve doing the control work. It suits families who run several outlets close together.
Continuous flow
A compact wall unit with a heat exchanger heats water only as it flows, so it never runs out, and the flow it can carry sets how many taps run at once. It suits smaller households and tight yards.
The connection question
Either unit needs a gas supply it can actually draw on, plus a flue route that clears windows and eaves, so we check both before anything is quoted.
How We Fit a Gas Unit
- 1
Confirm the supply
We check the meter, the pipe size and whether the connection supports the unit you have in mind, or we plan the LPG changeover if bottles are the go.
- 2
Set the unit
A storage cylinder goes on its pad, a continuous flow unit goes on the wall, and the flue gets routed clear of openings.
- 3
Connect and commission
Gas and water lines go in with an isolation valve, then we test the relief and tempering valves and confirm bathroom water holds at 50°C.
- 4
Run and hand over
We open the hot taps, check for leaks, and walk you through the controls before we leave.

What Decides the Gas Quote
Four things move the number on a gas job:
- The system type, because a storage cylinder and a wall-mounted flow unit are different amounts of work
- The gas supply itself, since pipe sizing or a meter upgrade can sit in front of a bigger unit
- Where the unit goes and the flue route, especially on older houses with tight eaves
- Whether an old electric tank has to be disconnected and carted away as part of the changeover
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 Hot Water in These Postwar Streets
Stepping off electric
Most houses here were built when an external electric tank beside the laundry was the standard, so going gas is a deliberate change of direction rather than a straight swap, and the quote covers pulling the old tank out.
Freeing the laundry wall
A continuous flow unit hangs on the wall and takes up almost none of the pad where an ageing cylinder now sits, which is handy on these compact postwar blocks.
Sized for the household
Census counts put the suburb at 1,950 dwellings, and with a frost-free subtropical winter a gas unit gets matched to daily use rather than a cold-season peak. We size a gas unit to the people using it, not to the badge on the old cylinder.
If you are weighing gas against staying electric, our hot water replacement page lays out that decision, and new builds and renovations are covered under hot water installation.
When the Gas Job Needs Someone Else
We're not the right call when the trouble sits at the gas meter or out in the network, because that is the distributor's job. We test the unit first to rule out a fault on our side, and a fresh power circuit for an electric changeover goes to a licensed electrician instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 1856Do gas storage tanks suit the postwar houses around Northgate?
They do, because a gas storage tank takes up less room than many older electric cylinders and fits the modest postwar houses here, provided the connection and flue route check out.
Can a Northgate home run gas hot water without a mains connection?
Yes, LPG bottles are a standard path for both gas cylinders and wall-mounted flow units, and Northgate Same Day Hot Water will walk you through bottle placement before we quote the job.
Does the soft ground on the eastern side affect a gas install?
It can, because the low eastern streets sit on soft alluvial ground, so a ground-mounted gas tank gets a compacted and drained pad built before the new unit ever goes down.
Does one trade cover the gas work and the plumbing in Northgate?
Yes, gasfitting is its own licensed trade and Northgate Same Day Hot Water holds both, so the connection, flue and water side stay with one team from quote to handover.
What if the gas supply itself is the problem?
A fault at the meter or in the network belongs to the gas distributor, so we run the safe checks, rule the unit out and point you to the right authority.
