Is Gas the Right Fit for Your Home
Four things decide whether gas suits your place:
Gas storage
A burner under a tank heats and holds water ready for the morning rush, which suits bigger households drawing a lot at once.
Continuous flow
A wall-hung unit heats water the moment it moves, so the supply never runs dry, and its flow rate sets how many showers and taps run together.
The supply line
A continuous flow unit needs enough gas volume and pipe size to fire at full demand, which we test before quoting.
Steady use
Gas holds temperature cheaply between draws, which suits households using hot water across the day rather than in one burst.
If your unit has reached the end instead of just playing up, our hot water replacement page walks through that decision.
How We Fit a Gas System
- 1
Size the unit
We match cylinder capacity or flow rate to your household's real morning routine, not a catalogue guess.
- 2
Check the supply
The gas line gets tested for volume and pipe size, because an undersized line starves a continuous flow unit when two showers open at once.
- 3
Mount and connect
The unit goes in, the flue runs to code, and the burner, gas control valve and ignition are connected and tested.
- 4
Commission and hand over
We set the thermostat so the tank holds 60°C, well clear of Legionella, and confirm the tempering valve keeps bathroom water at or under 50°C, then walk you through the controls.

What Sets the Price on Gas Work
The quote reflects a handful of variables:
The unit
A storage cylinder and a wall-hung continuous flow unit cost different money for different reasons.
Flue and connection work
Moving the unit or changing its type adds pipework and flueing to the job.
Access
A tight corner, a low eave or a raised floor slows the fit compared with a clear external wall.
Crossing over from electric
Converting adds the gasfitting stage, and sometimes a bottle or a new gas point to arrange.
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 Units on These Blocks
Postwar brick homes carry the older gas cylinders
Houses built from the 1940s through the 1960s often hold a gas storage unit against an outside wall, and a same-size replacement usually returns to that spot with the flue reused. Kedron Hot Water Services tests the supply line while quoting so the new burner is never starved.
Frost never enters the picture
The area averages zero frost days, so there is no winterising an outdoor gas unit, and the flue and pipework stay exposed to weather all year without trouble.
Bigger floor plans lean on storage
More than a quarter of homes here have four bedrooms or more, census figures show, and those households draw hard in the morning, which is where a gas storage tank earns its keep over a small flow unit.
No gas point is no barrier
Bottled LPG runs a gas system anywhere, and the bottle arrangement gets quoted with the job rather than left for you to organise separately.
When We're Not the Right Call
A fault at the meter, or in the supply line before it reaches your boundary, belongs to the gas distributor, and so does any new or bigger supply they need to run. We flag that at the quote stage so you ring the right crew first, and a gas smell always means their emergency line before anyone else.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3522 5629Is a gas hot water swap licensed plumbing work?
Yes, and the gas connection adds licensed gasfitting on top of the plumbing, both of which Kedron Hot Water Services holds, so your cylinder or instant unit stays with one team from start to finish.
Will a gas unit cope outdoors through Kedron winters?
Yes, because this suburb records no frost across a typical year, so an outdoor continuous flow unit mounts to a brick wall bare and keeps firing through the coldest June mornings.
What if my gas unit near Kedron Brook took floodwater?
A gas unit that sat in floodwater needs a full inspection before it fires again, and that matters most along the low blocks near Mercer Park, which went under when the brook rose in 2022.
Does Brisbane City Council need to approve a gas unit swap?
Usually not, and we confirm anything unusual at the quote stage, because moving the unit or rerouting its flue is where approval questions tend to surface, not a straightforward swap in the old spot.
Can LPG run gas hot water where a home lacks a gas point?
It can, because a bottle set beside the unit keeps a gas system running without a mains connection, and the bottle setup is part of our quote rather than your problem to arrange.
