Picking The System And The Spot
A new install gives you a free choice, so two decisions come first: what heats the water, and where it lives.
Household size sets the capacity
A tank too small runs cold at the second shower, and an oversized one costs more to run every day.
Position decides the work
A level spot with clear access keeps the install simple, while a unit tucked down a steep side path takes longer to plumb and service later.
Heat pumps need breathing room
The compressor and fan draw air from around them, so they want an open outdoor position and some separation from bedroom windows.
Solar needs the roof
Collectors want good sun exposure, and the booster that covers cloudy days can be electric or gas.
Instant electric is power hungry
A continuous-flow electric unit draws heavily, so the switchboard has to cope before one goes on the wall.
The Install From Start To Finish
- 1
We confirm the choice and the position
The system type, the tank size and where it sits get settled with you before anything is ordered.
- 2
We set the base and connect the water
The new unit goes on its stand or plinth, then the isolation valve, inlet and outlet pipework are connected and secured.
- 3
We make the heat connection
That means the element circuit checked on electric, the gas line, burner and flue connected and tested on gas, or collectors and booster piped on solar.
- 4
We fit the safety valves and commission
The TPR valve and tempering valve go on, the tank fills, and we run hot water at every tap to check flow, temperature and relief drain before handover.

What Shapes The Installation Cost
Four things move the figure on a new install more than anything else.
- The system you pick, because a heat pump, a gas storage tank and a solar setup each bring different hardware and labour.
- The run of pipework, since a unit a long way from the existing hot water lines needs more pipe than one beside them.
- The gas connection, where a new gas line to the unit is a bigger job than using the one already at the wall.
- Valves and extras, such as a tempering valve or a stand for a tank that has never had one.
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.
New Systems On These Sloping Blocks
Ellendale changed what an install looks like here
The estate launched in 2016 on big sloping blocks along the national park edge, and its homes went up with modern systems already in place, so most new installs now serve renovations, additions or upgrades of a builder's basic unit.
The suburb keeps growing
Census figures record 615 dwellings approved across the postcode in a five-year stretch, and an average household of 3.2 people means new tanks get sized for real demand from day one, not a couple's starter load.
Position matters on a hillside
Sloping blocks change where a unit can sit and how much carrying work the job takes, so Local Upper Kedron Hot Water walks the placement with you early, well before install day arrives.
When We're Not The Right Call For Wiring
If the system you choose needs a new circuit or a switchboard upgrade, that wiring is not the right call for us, and a licensed electrician is the person to book. Hot water repairs and hot water replacement cover the other paths, and gas hot water and heat pump hot water explain two popular choices in detail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 1856Can a new hot water system go on a sloping Ellendale block?
Yes, and the slope shapes the carrying work and the placement more than the plumbing itself, so we walk the spot with you and settle it before pricing.
Does the council need to sign off on a new hot water system in Upper Kedron?
Installing hot water is licensed plumbing work in Queensland, and a gas connection adds licensed gas work, so the compliance side is handled as part of the job rather than left to you.
Can my new tank keep using the Energex off-peak supply it has now?
Usually yes, because a storage tank can stay on the same off-peak supply it already runs on, though any new circuit or wiring beyond the unit becomes an electrician's call.
How do you choose where a new system goes on a hilly Upper Kedron block?
We look for a level, reachable spot with clear airflow for a heat pump, well away from bedroom windows, and a sensible pipe run, then confirm the position with you before quoting.
What should I have ready before you arrive for an install?
It helps to know which system you want, where the planned unit will sit, and whether the driveway or side access is steep, because those details shape the quote we bring out.
