Where Gas Systems Suit a Home
A gas point already on the property
That is the cleanest start. Where there is none, compliant bottle placement can still make gas work, and we check the space during the quote.
You want water that never runs out
A continuous flow unit heats water through a heat exchanger only as it flows, so the last shower is as warm as the first.
A bigger household with real demand
A gas storage tank holds heated water ready to go, and the burner refills it quickly between uses.
Somewhere for the exhaust to go
Every gas burner needs a flue with clear air around it, which matters on tight balconies and close side boundaries.
How We Fit a Gas System
- Check the gas supply. We confirm the point or bottle arrangement and whether the pipe can feed the draw a continuous flow unit takes while heating.
- Set and connect. The unit goes on its wall bracket or slab during hot water installation, with the gas and water connections made and isolation valves fitted.
- Light and adjust. We prove the ignition, set the gas control valve and confirm the flue draws cleanly.
- Prove the temperatures. Tank water is held at 60°C to stop Legionella, the tempering valve keeps bath and shower water to 50°C, and we run every hot tap before we leave.
What Drives the Price
- The gas connection, because pipe run and pipe size decide how much work feeds the unit, especially for continuous flow models.
- The flue route, since a clear exhaust path through an older building can be simple or fiddly.
- Storage versus continuous flow, which changes the unit, the mounting and the connection work.
- Getting the old tank out, because hauling a dead cylinder off a rear balcony is heavier work than sliding one from a ground-level garage.
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 on the Peninsula
Flats outnumber houses by a wide margin
The peninsula held 12,197 residents at the last census, and only 20.4 per cent of its dwellings were separate houses, so gas work here is often a compact wall-hung unit on a balcony rather than a big cylinder on a slab.
Most homes rent rather than sell
That shapes the job: an owner replacing a heater wants it done once, with the flue, valves and connections compliant from day one.
Cool mornings find the tired units
Frost never lands here, yet the first genuinely cold starts of the year expose ageing heaters across the older blocks, and gas tanks that limped through summer often quit then.
The older houses have the room
On character streets such as Oxlade Drive a flued storage tank sits comfortably at ground level, while tighter blocks closer to Merthyr Road suit a wall-hung unit with a short, straight flue. New Farm Hot Water Services holds licences for both plumbing and gasfitting, so the one team handles the whole gas job.
When We're Not the Right Call
If you smell gas, turn it off at the meter and ring your gas distributor's emergency line first; a fault at the meter itself is theirs to fix, and we take over once everything is safe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 7118Can a gas unit go into a New Farm apartment?
It can where the building has a gas point or room for compliant bottles, and New Farm Hot Water Services checks what the body corporate allows before the quote goes further.
Does Energex have any role in gas hot water in New Farm?
Only a small one, because gas units heat with a burner rather than an element, though an electric ignition model still needs an ordinary power point we can confirm on site.
Is gas hot water a good fit for older houses on Oxlade Drive?
Usually yes, because the detached homes on the high ground have room for a flued storage tank whose flue can run clear of eaves and neighbouring windows.
Will you repair an old gas tank in a local walk-up block?
Yes, pilots, thermocouples, gas control valves and burners are ordinary repair parts for us, and plenty of the peninsula's interwar flats still run ageing gas heaters.
What should I do if I smell gas near my unit in New Farm?
Turn the gas off at the meter, never relight a burner, ring the gas distributor's emergency line first, and only call us once they have made everything safe again.
