Whether A Gas System Suits Your Home
Gas heating suits homes that want fast recovery or hot water that never runs out, and the right unit depends on how your household uses it:
Gas storage
A burner under the cylinder heats water held at 60°C to stop Legionella, with a standing pilot or an igniter doing the lighting. Good for households that run several taps through the morning.
Continuous flow
A wall-hung heat exchanger heats water as it flows through, so the supply never empties. Flow rate decides how many outlets run at once.
LPG alternative
Where a gas main does not reach the property, bottled LPG runs the same units, so the choice stays open.
If your existing gas unit has gone cold, the no hot water page covers the immediate checks, and the hot water repairs page covers fixing a unit that still runs.
How A Gas Job Runs
The work runs in four steps, and you know each one before we arrive:
- Confirm the unit type and the fault or swap, and check the gas supply and pipe size, which continuous flow models in particular depend on.
- Isolate the gas at the unit and close the water isolation valve before any part comes off.
- Replace the faulty part, be it a thermocouple, gas control valve or pilot assembly, or set the new unit with its flue and valves to code.
- Light the burner, run the taps, and confirm the tempering valve keeps bathroom outlets at 50°C or cooler before we hand over.
What Sets The Figure On A Gas Job
Four things move the price on gas work:
- Whether the unit is a storage cylinder or a wall-hung flow model, since the parts and the labour differ.
- The state of the gas line feeding it, because an undersized line to a continuous flow unit needs upgrading first.
- Where the unit sits, and how awkward the access is for getting an old cylinder out.
- Which valves and fittings the job needs, including the tempering and relief valves.
You get a fixed quote for the whole hot water job first, and we only start once you've approved it. Flat-rate pricing means no hidden fees and no extra fee for weekend or after-hours call-outs, and you can fix now, pay later.
Gas Units In These Cottages
The blocks are tight
Census figures put the dwelling count at 3,491 across just 2.46 square kilometres, so cottages sit close together and an outdoor gas unit needs a spot with proper clearance from walls and boundaries. Weatherboard walls and timber stumps leave little slack for flue runs, so Paddington Same Day Hot Water measures the position before naming a unit.
The gullies stay damp
Storm season runs from November to March, and the shaded dips between the ridges hold moisture long after the hilltop streets have dried. A casing that stays wet wears faster, so we look at where water collects before recommending a mounting spot.
When a gas storage cylinder needs swapping rather than fixing, the hot water replacement page covers the honest repair-or-replace decision, and the hot water installation page covers new installs and relocations.
Where Our Gas Work Stops
When we're not the right call: trouble at the meter or in the supply main belongs to the gas distributor's side of the network, and a gas smell means shutting the gas off at the meter, ringing their emergency line and never relighting anything. Paddington Same Day Hot Water takes over once the supply side is clear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 1736Do gas continuous flow units suit small Paddington blocks?
They do, because a wall-hung unit hangs on the side of a cottage and frees the slim ground between close-set houses, which is where many tanks on these ridges currently stand.
Can LPG run a gas system here?
It can, because bottled LPG feeds the same storage and flow units where no natural gas main serves the property, so the system choice stays open on streets without a supply.
Does an Energex outage stop a gas system working?
Units with electronic ignition pause until the power returns, while a model with a standing pilot keeps heating through an outage, so the ignition type on your unit decides what a blackout means here.
Does old pipework affect gas storage tanks in Paddington cottages?
It can, because sediment shed where old galvanised lines meet newer copper settles in the base of a storage tank, so we check the feed line's condition when quoting gas storage work here.
Where can a gas flue go on a character cottage here?
Many streets here sit under council character overlays, so we plan the flue and vent positions to clear the required distances while keeping the street face of the weatherboard cottage as it is.
