Gas Systems And Where They Fit
Two layouts do the gas job, and they suit different households:
Gas storage tanks
hold heated water in a cylinder, with a burner underneath and a flue carrying combustion gases clear of the house, held no cooler than 60°C, the temperature that keeps Legionella in check.
Continuous-flow units
heat water only as it passes through a heat exchanger, so the supply never runs out, and the flow rate sets how many outlets run at once.
The gas supply has to match
, because an undersized line or meter starves the burner and the unit never performs as it should.
Position matters
, since the flue needs clear discharge and the unit needs room around it for safe servicing.
Both layouts suit households that draw hot water at several outlets at once, which is the pattern in these big family homes.
The Gas Job Step By Step
Local Upper Kedron Hot Water runs every gas job through the same four steps:
- 1
Isolate and make safe
The gas isolation valve and the water supply close first, and on a swap the old unit comes out only once the line is proven dead.
- 2
Test or set the working parts
A repair means the pilot assembly, thermocouple, burner and gas control valve checked in turn, while a new unit means setting the cylinder or the wall-mounted continuous-flow box.
- 3
Connect and leak-test
The supply line joins the unit, and every joint is leak-tested before the burner lights.
- 4
Commission and hand over
The relief and tempering valves go on, the unit fills, and we run the hot taps to confirm flow and a bathroom delivery no hotter than 50°C.

Where The Gas Figure Comes From
Local Upper Kedron Hot Water prices a gas job on the unit and the path to it:
Storage or continuous flow
, because a cylinder and a wall-mounted unit are different jobs with different parts.
Access to the unit
, since a cylinder tucked in a tight laundry corner on a hillside lot takes more handling than one sitting in a garage bay.
The gas line run
from the meter, including whether the existing pipe feeds the new burner at full size.
Valves already on the system
, because a tempering valve or relief valve sometimes needs replacing along with the unit.
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 Hillsides
Winter is when a burner proves itself
Frost barely registers here, at 0.8 days in an average year, but chill air draining down Cedar Creek still makes winter mornings the sharpest test a gas system faces, and fast recovery is the one thing a burner does better than any element.
The homes are sized for gas
Census figures put dwellings with four bedrooms or more at 88.3 per cent, and a house running several bathrooms at peak is exactly where a storage cylinder or continuous-flow unit earns its keep.
The older holdings need identifying first
Rural-era places toward Cedar Creek still run whatever suited a previous owner. The first task on an older gas unit is establishing whether it lights with a pilot or electronic ignition, and Local Upper Kedron Hot Water quotes from what is actually there.
If gas sounds like the right fuel for your place, a new install covers a first-time system, and hot water replacement handles a unit that has finished.
When We're Not The Right Call For Gas
A fault on the distributor's side of the meter is not ours to touch, and a smell of gas is their emergency, not a booking with us. Turn the gas off at the meter, ring the gas distributor's emergency line first, and Local Upper Kedron Hot Water takes the hot water side over once they make everything safe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 1856Will a gas unit keep up with a large Upper Kedron household?
It will, because a gas burner reheats a full cylinder far faster than an element can, so back-to-back showers in a home with several bathrooms stay covered on the coldest winter mornings.
Can a gas hot water unit run on LPG?
Yes, gas units come in natural gas and LPG versions, and we size the supply line to whichever fuel your Upper Kedron property runs before the quote goes in writing.
Is a wall-hung continuous-flow unit practical on an Ellendale slope?
It is, because a continuous-flow box hangs on the wall and frees the ground space a cylinder needs, which suits the steep Ellendale lots where slab room is hard to spare.
Who do I ring first if I smell gas near the unit in Upper Kedron?
The gas distributor's emergency line comes first, before anyone else: leave the unit alone, shut the gas off at the meter, and ring us back once they give the all clear.
Does Energex play any part in a gas hot water system?
Only at the edges, because the burner does the heating rather than an element, though a gas unit with electronic ignition still needs mains power to light and run its controls.
