Gas hot water that recovers fast and runs reliably
Gas hot water suits busy households. Multiple showers in the morning, dishes after dinner, the washing machine running in the background. A properly sized gas system handles all of it without running cold halfway through.
When gas systems give us a call, it is usually one of these:
- Pilot light keeps going out or will not stay lit
- System fails to ignite or cuts out mid-shower
- Water not getting hot enough or temperature swinging
- Tank leaking, rusting, or pressure relief valve dripping
- Flue problems or fault codes on continuous flow units
- Older system due for replacement before it fails completely
Gas faults should be looked at quickly. We can usually diagnose the problem over the phone and have a licensed gas fitter to you the same day.
Continuous flow or storage, we install both
Not every home suits the same gas unit. Continuous flow gives you endless hot water on demand. Storage tanks recover faster when several outlets run at once. We help you pick what suits your household, your existing pipework, and your gas supply.
A gas system is only as good as how it is installed. Correct flue clearance, proper gas line sizing, and tidy water connections make the difference between a unit that runs trouble-free for 15 years and one that develops faults early.
- Continuous flow and storage units, all major brands
- Phone quotes for most standard replacements
- Same-day service when your system fails
- Honest advice on system size and type, no upsell
- Licensed gas fitters, all work to compliance

Gas Hot Water System FAQs
Gas hot water system replacement starts from $2,000 fully installed for a standard like-for-like swap. Continuous flow units, larger storage tanks, or jobs that need extra gas or water pipework will cost more. We can usually give you a fixed price over the phone before we arrive.
Continuous flow units heat water on demand and never run out. Storage units heat a tank of water and recover quickly between uses. Continuous flow suits households with steady but spread-out usage. Storage suits homes with multiple showers running close together. We will recommend what suits your household and existing setup.
Common causes include a failed pilot light, dirty or faulty ignition electrode, gas valve issue, blocked flue, or a tripped overheat cutout. Gas systems should be checked promptly if they are failing to ignite or cutting out mid-use. Do not keep trying to relight it yourself.
For most standard like-for-like replacements, yes. We carry common gas units and can usually complete the install in a single visit. If you are switching from electric or moving the unit, it will take longer and we will quote that up front.
Most gas systems last 10 to 15 years. Continuous flow units often last longer than storage tanks because there is no tank to corrode. Regular servicing helps you get the full life out of either type.
