Types of gas hot water
Continuous flow
No tank. Water is heated as it flows through the unit, so it does not run out and gas is only used while a tap is on. Wall-mounted and compact.
Gas-boosted solar
Roof collectors do the work on bright days and a gas booster takes over when they cannot. Suits a north-facing roof and a long-term owner.
Solar hot waterLPG systems
For blocks without natural gas, the same storage and continuous flow units run on bottled LPG with the right regulator and jets.
Storage or continuous flow?
Continuous flow suits you if Never runs out
- Several showers run back to back or at once
- You want a small unit on an outside wall
- You are happy to size the unit by flow rate, not litres
- The gas supply can carry the unit's demand
Storage suits you if Simpler swap
- You are replacing an existing gas storage tank like for like
- Hot water use is steady and predictable
- There is room for the tank where the old one stood
- You prefer a unit with fewer electronics
What a gas installation involves
Installing a gas system is more than swapping units. The gas line has to carry the new unit's demand, the flue and clearances have to meet the standard, and the work is pressure tested and certified. A compliance certificate is issued for gas installation work in Queensland, and it is part of the job rather than paperwork you chase later.
Repairs follow the same rules. A thermocouple, a gas valve or an ignition fault is often a quick fix, but it is gas work, and only a licensed gas fitter does it.
Local knowledge
Gas hot water around Caboolture
Natural gas is available in parts of the newer estates around Morayfield, Narangba, North Lakes and Mango Hill, and much of the older town and the rural blocks rely on LPG bottles. We check which supply you have before recommending a unit, because it changes the model and the regulator.
Kallangur, Dakabin, Petrie and Murrumba Downs are a regular part of our run from the Caboolture office, as are Bribie Island and the Redcliffe peninsula.

Questions answered
Why does my gas hot water go cold mid-shower?
On a continuous flow unit, usually a flow rate above what the unit can heat, a blocked filter or a failing sensor. On a storage tank, the tank is undersized or the burner has failed. Both are diagnosed on site.
Can I convert from electric to gas?
If natural gas is available at the street or you are set up for LPG, yes. It involves a gas line to the unit, a flue and certification, so it costs more than a like-for-like swap. We price it against a heat pump so you can compare.
Does a gas hot water system need servicing?
A service every couple of years checks the burner, the gas connections, the relief valve and, on a tank, the anode. It keeps the unit efficient and catches faults before they leave you cold.
Is gas work licensed in Queensland?
Yes. Gas installation and repair must be done by someone holding a Queensland gas work licence, and gas installations are certified on completion.
