Gas Systems That Suit Valley Homes
Two gas setups cover nearly every home here, and the right one depends on how much hot water you draw and how much space you have:
Gas storage tanks
A burner under the tank heats water held ready, with a pilot or electronic ignition, a thermocouple, a gas control valve and a flue carrying fumes outside. Suits households drawing hot water across the whole day.
Continuous flow units
No tank, so nothing sits cooling overnight. Wall-hung, sized by flow rate, and they never run out no matter how many showers follow one another.
Where gas earns its keep
A busy kitchen or a flat short on floor space gets more from a wall-hung unit than from a tank squatting in a cupboard.
No gas line yet?
LPG bottles run both system types, so a building without piped gas can still go gas.
If an old gas tank is past its working days, the hot water replacement page runs through how a swap works. Building or renovating? The hot water installation page covers brand-new setups, relocations and renovation jobs.
How a Gas Job Runs
Four steps take a gas job from first look to hot taps:
- 1
Test the gas side first
We check supply pressure, pipe size and flue condition before quoting, because an undersized line starves a continuous flow unit when a second shower starts.
- 2
Isolate and remove
Gas off at the meter, water off at the isolation valve, then the old tank or unit comes out cleanly.
- 3
Fit and connect
The new unit goes in with its gas control valve, flue and tempering valve set to spec.
- 4
Commission and hand over
We run the burner through a full heating cycle and make sure tank water never drops below 60°C, the level that stops Legionella growing. The tempering valve gets checked too, so shower water stays at 50°C, and then we hand over the controls.

What a Gas Hot Water Job Costs
Fortitude Valley Same Day Hot Water prices the whole gas job before starting, and four details decide what you pay:
System type
A floor-standing tank and a wall-hung unit cost different amounts and take different times to fit.
Position and access
How hard the old unit is to reach, and how far the new one sits from the gas meter and the flue outlet.
Gas supply
Whether the existing line needs upsizing to feed a bigger unit at full flow.
Flue route
Heritage buildings can need a longer or cleverer flue run, which adds work.
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 Work in Valley Buildings
Heritage fabric first
Brick shop rows and heritage hotel buildings carry their services through retrofits that never allowed for plumbing access, so a gas install starts with the flue run and airflow before any unit gets chosen.
Compact by census
The census logged 5,251 dwellings across 1.31 square kilometres, and 96.4 per cent of that stock is apartments, so a wall-hung heater beside the laundry suits these floors better than a tank on the ground.
Venues that never stop
Restaurants and bars around the two pedestrian malls draw hot water all evening, and Fortitude Valley Same Day Hot Water fits continuous flow units there because a tank that empties mid-service shuts a kitchen down.
When Gas Work Is Not Ours
We're not the right call for a fault in the gas meter or the supply main, which belongs to the gas distributor, and we will send you to the gas distributor rather than charge for work outside our trade. Wiring for a new power supply is an electrician's job too, not plumbing work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3522 5629Can a gas continuous flow unit be fitted inside a Fortitude Valley apartment?
Usually yes, because a wall-hung continuous flow unit takes up little room, though the building needs a gas line and a compliant flue path, which we confirm during the quote.
Do you install gas systems in the older brick buildings around Wickham Street?
Fortitude Valley Same Day Hot Water installs gas systems in those heritage buildings, working out the flue path and ventilation first, because the original plans had nowhere for a flue to run.
Does Energex have anything to do with a gas hot water system?
No, because Energex looks after the electricity supply, while gas connections and gas fitting are licensed gas work, and an electric ignition spark is the only power a gas unit needs.
Which gas system suits a one or two person flat in Fortitude Valley?
A continuous flow unit usually wins here, because it heats on demand, never runs out mid-shower, and hangs on a wall where a floor-standing storage tank would eat the space.
Can a gas unit run on LPG where a building has no gas line?
Yes, because gas storage tanks and continuous flow units are both made in LPG versions, so a building here without a piped supply can still run a gas heater off bottled gas instead.
