This case study covers a hot water job in Albany Creek, where an older gas storage system needed replacing.
Location: Albany Creek, Moreton Bay
Service: Gas hot water and LPG regulator replacement
Date: August 2026
Turnaround: Booked for the afternoon, completed first thing the next morning
The problem
An Albany Creek homeowner’s gas storage hot water system, an older model with a pilot light, had stopped working.
What we did
- Isolated the gas and water, then drained and disconnected the old system
- Supplied and installed a new medium outdoor gas storage water heater on a new base
- Fitted a complete lead-free valve set
- Replaced the LPG regulator on the dual-bottle setup
- Leak tested the gas service and commissioned the new system
Compliance
The hot water replacement was registered with the QBCC as notifiable work (Form 4), and the gas work was completed by our licensed gasfitter.
The result
The new system was installed and running early the next morning, with a new regulator supplying the LPG bottles.
Choosing new hot water in Albany Creek
When an older gas system fails, it’s a good time to think about what suits your home now. For example, some households stay with gas, while others switch to a heat pump. Our plumbers explain the options and give a fixed price before any work starts.
After any gas work, we leak test the system and issue a gas compliance certificate, as required by Resources Safety and Health Queensland. For more, see our gas hot water page or compare models on the Energy Rating website.
