Is Gas the Right Fit Here
Gas suits households that use plenty of hot water and want it back quickly
A gas storage cylinder heats a full tank with a burner, so recovery after a round of morning showers beats most electric tanks.
An instant gas unit skips the tank altogether
It heats water as it flows, so nobody runs out, though the flow rate decides how many taps can run at once.
Three things decide whether gas works on your block:
- A gas supply, either mains gas or bottled LPG, with a pipe run sized for the unit you pick.
- Clear air around the flue, so combustion gases disperse well clear of windows and living spaces.
- A spot for the unit itself, outdoors in most cases, where burner noise will not sit against a bedroom wall.
We work on gas units from Rheem, Bosch and Rinnai, and Fitzgibbon Hot Water Services will tell you plainly which of the two styles suits your household before you commit to either.
The Job from Start to Finish
- 1
Check the gas side
We confirm whether you run mains gas or bottled supply, and an instant unit gets a pipe-size check so the burner is never starved.
- 2
Test the working parts
The pilot or igniter, thermocouple, gas control valve and burner tell us whether a single part will do or the whole unit is due.
- 3
Fit the unit
The cylinder or flow unit goes on its base, water and gas connect under our gasfitting licence, and the flue is set for a clear draw.
- 4
Set the valves
A new TPR valve and tempering valve go in, with the cylinder held at 60°C to stop Legionella and bathroom water kept at 50°C.
- 5
Prove it at the taps
We run hot water, check the gas joints and walk you through the controls before we leave.

What Shapes the Gas Quote
Four things move the figure on a gas job:
- The unit itself, because a storage cylinder and an instant unit involve different parts and different labour.
- The gas run, since extending pipework or setting up a bottle change-over adds work beyond the swap.
- Access, because a unit tucked in a tight alcove or behind fencing takes longer to get out and in.
- The valves, as a tempering or relief valve renewed alongside the unit keeps the whole setup safe.
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.
Fitzgibbon Hot Water Services quotes this way on every gas job, whether it is a pilot repair or a full replacement, and you can compare it with a hot water replacement or a brand-new hot water installation on their own pages.
Gas Units on This Ground
The first gas cylinders are coming due
Houses across the estates opened after the 2009 development area declaration often still run the gas unit they were handed with, and thermocouples and gas control valves are the parts that age first. Fitzgibbon Hot Water Services keeps the common gas parts ready for exactly that reason.
Compact blocks need measured flue space
Townhouses and brick-veneer homes on small lots leave little slack around a flue, so we check the clearances before quoting an instant unit rather than promising it fits.
Smaller loads to the south
The retirement villages and the relocatable-home park near the railway carry lighter hot water demand than a family house, and bottled gas suits units on those sites.
When We're Not the Right Call
A unit still inside the manufacturer's warranty goes back to the manufacturer for its covered parts, and any electrical fault on the supply side sits with an electrician. If you ever smell gas, relight nothing, shut the supply at the meter and ring the emergency number your gas distributor publishes before you ring us.

Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 7167Do gas hot water systems need servicing in Fitzgibbon?
Yes, a gas storage cylinder or instant unit runs better with periodic checks of the burner, pilot and relief valve, and we service gas systems across Fitzgibbon under our gasfitting licence.
Can a gas unit run on LPG?
It can, because gas storage and instant units are made for natural gas or LPG, so a home with bottled gas gets the same hot water from the same working parts.
Is a gas unit a good fit for a Fitzgibbon townhouse?
Usually, because a compact gas cylinder or an instant unit matches a townhouse's smaller hot water load, and we measure the flue clearances on these tight blocks before we quote.
What parts fail on a gas hot water system?
The thermocouple, pilot assembly, igniter and gas control valve cause most gas faults, while a weeping relief valve or rusty water points to cylinder trouble we assess carefully on site.
Does a gas replacement need Brisbane City Council approval?
Swapping one gas cylinder for another is licensed plumbing work, and gas connections need licensed gas work, so the approvals sit with the licensed trades rather than Brisbane City Council counters.
