How a Gas System Heats Water
Gas heats water in two ways, and each setup has its own parts:
Gas storage
A burner under the tank heats the water held inside, with a pilot light or electronic ignition, a thermocouple and a gas control valve managing the flame, and a flue carrying fumes clear of the roof.
Instant gas
A heat exchanger warms water as it passes through, so the supply never runs out, though the taps you can run together come down to the unit's capacity. Our instant hot water page covers that style in detail.
Supply line size
A continuous flow unit draws hard from the gas main, and an undersized line starves the burners just when the household is drawing hardest.
How We Fit a Gas Unit
A gas job runs to a set order, and the quote covers every step of it:
For a renovation or a new build, our hot water installation page covers siting a system from the ground up.
- 1
Size the supply
We measure the gas run between the meter and the unit's new position, because continuous flow burners pull more volume than a cooktop line was ever sized for.
- 2
Isolate and remove
Gas and water are shut off at their valves, the old tank is drained, and the dead unit comes out.
- 3
Set and connect
The new unit goes onto its pad or wall bracket, and the gas line, flue and water connections are made under our gasfitting licence.
- 4
Final checks and handover
We light the burner or igniter, confirm the tank reaches 60°C for Legionella safety, and set the tempering valve to keep showers at 50°C.

What a Gas System Costs to Fit
Four things move the price on a gas job, and each one gets named in the quote:
Which unit
Storage tanks and instant units mount and connect differently, and the household's peak draw sets the capacity needed.
The gas run
How far the supply line travels, and whether it needs upsizing for a continuous flow burner, both add hours to the job.
Flue and access
Where a flue can terminate, and how easily the old unit comes out, shape the labour side.
Coming off electric
Running a gas line to a house that has never had one is bigger work than a gas-to-gas swap.
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.
Bald Hills Hot Water Services fits and repairs gas units from Rheem, Rinnai and Bosch, with the quote covering whichever model suits your household. Rust through the tank body ends a gas storage unit for good, and the hot water replacement page covers what a swap involves.
Gas Hot Water on Bald Hills Blocks
Little salt in the air
The tidal Pine River runs along the suburb's edge, yet the air stays fresh, so an outdoor gas unit on a ground pad or wall bracket needs no special corrosion treatment.
Mild winters, steady pilots
Frost barely registers here, an average of 0.1 frost days a year, so a pilot and burner never face a true winter shutdown, though the first cold snap still shows up a worn thermocouple.
Room to site the flue
The brick and weatherboard houses spread across the postwar estates mostly stand on generous blocks, so a flue can usually finish clear of windows, doors and the boundary.
Gas Jobs That Belong Elsewhere
When we're not the right call: a fault at the gas meter, or anywhere on the distributor's side of the supply, belongs to your gas distributor, and we will flag that before anything gets booked. If you run on bottled LPG, the bottle supplier handles exchange and delivery, while everything downstream of the regulator stays with us.

Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3524 7164Does a gas hot water system need piped gas?
No, a storage or instant gas unit can run on bottled LPG where piped gas is not connected, and we can talk through what each setup would involve for your place.
What changes if I swap an Energex off-peak tank for gas?
The heating pattern changes most, because an Energex off-peak tank warms its water overnight on a timed supply, while a gas unit heats hot water on demand whenever any tap opens.
What should I do if I smell gas near the unit?
Never relight anything and turn the gas off at the meter, then ring the gas distributor's emergency line before you call us, so a licensed gas plumber can make the unit safe.
Is a gas unit safe to relight after a creek flood?
Any unit that has taken water needs a full check before it runs, because floodwater reaches the burner and the gas control valve, and the council's flood mapping covers streets on the suburb's western edge.
Do you cover every street in Bald Hills with gas work?
We do, and Bald Hills Hot Water Services covers Murrumba Downs, Griffin, Brighton, Fitzgibbon and Carseldine alongside this suburb, with same-day visits where the schedule allows a run out this way.
