Which Homes and Setups Gas Suits
Gas comes in two shapes, and each one fits a different kind of household.
Gas storage tanks
A burner under the cylinder heats the water, so the tank recovers quickly after a heavy draw rather than sitting cold until an overnight window.
Continuous flow units
A wall-hung heat exchanger heats water only as it flows, so nobody runs out, and the flow rate decides how many taps run at once.
The supply question
A gas unit needs enough volume behind it, and pipe size matters as much as the meter, so both get looked at before a quote is written.
Where there is no gas main
LPG bottles run both system types, and the bottle arrangement is sized to match the unit, not guessed at.
How a Gas Job Runs
- 1
Confirm the setup
The gas supply, pipe size and flue path get checked first, because a wall-hung unit on an inside wall vents differently from an outdoor tank.
- 2
Isolate and remove
Gas and water are isolated, and an old tank is drained and lifted out without tearing up the laundry around it.
- 3
Fit and connect
The burner, gas control valve and flue go in under our gasfitting licence, with the cold supply and tempering valve renewed where needed.
- 4
Test and hand over
Albion Hot Water Services holds storage water at 60°C so Legionella never gets a foothold, keeps bath and basin water at 50°C through the tempering valve, and walks you through the controls.

What Moves a Gas Quote
The figure depends on the job in front of us, and these are the parts that shift it.
- The system type, since a storage cylinder and a wall-hung continuous flow unit are separate installs with separate parts.
- The gas run, because a longer pipe run or a meter upgrade turns a simple swap into a bigger day.
- Access, because a slim cupboard in a local unit block is tighter work than a backyard spot beside a cottage.
- Valves and extras, such as a tempering valve or fresh relief drain routing.
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.
When a gas tank is past repair, the hot water replacement page covers the changeover, and a brand new gas unit on a renovation or build starts at hot water installation.
Gas Units in the Local Housing Mix
Flats lead the count
At the last census, 74.1 per cent of the 1,677 dwellings counted here were flats or apartments, so most gas work happens in compact laundries and cupboards, where a wall-hung unit beats a cylinder on floor space alone.
Older cottages keep their gas
The pre-1940 weatherboard homes among the brick houses date from an era when gas fired the heater, and some still hold the flue route and gas lines an outdoor cylinder needs, with yard room for the tank to stand.
Renters meet the unit late
Only 13.8 per cent of households owned their place outright at the last census, so plenty of tenants first meet their gas system the day it plays up, and Albion Hot Water Services quotes the honest answer either way, part or changeover.
When We're Not the Right Call
If the trouble sits at the meter or in the supply upstream of your place, we're not the right call there, because that is the gas distributor's patch and we say so rather than billing you to stare at it. A newer unit still under the manufacturer's warranty is a claim the manufacturer handles too.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 7158Can gas hot water units run on bottled gas in Albion?
Yes, where a home has no gas main, an LPG bottle arrangement runs both storage tanks and continuous flow units, and the bottle sizing gets matched to the unit rather than guessed.
Which gas unit fits the unit blocks near Breakfast Creek?
Compact wall-hung continuous flow units usually suit those tight laundries best because they hold no cylinder, and the gas supply and pipe size get checked before any model is promised.
Does gas hot water work need a special licence in Albion?
Gas connections sit under a licensed gasfitting qualification on top of plumbing, and our plumbers hold both, so the burner, flue and control valve stay with the same crew as the pipework.
Why choose gas over an electric tank near Albion station?
Gas storage reheats the cylinder as it empties instead of waiting on an overnight element cycle, and a continuous flow unit never runs out, which suits households with back-to-back showers.
Do older cottages around Sandgate Road still suit gas storage?
Many do, because the pre-1940 weatherboard homes were built when gas fired the heating, and some keep the flue path and pipework a gas storage tank wants, with outdoor space for the cylinder.
