Choosing the System and the Spot
A new install is your one chance to set the system up right, so four things decide the plan:
Household size
Census figures put the average household here at 2.9 people, so the tank or continuous flow unit has to keep up with the morning rush without coming up short.
Storage or instant
Storage systems heat water and hold it in a tank; instant units heat only as it flows, so they never run dry, and flow rate sets how many taps can run together.
Energy source
Gas units need a gas line and a flue, electric storage often suits an off-peak supply, and a heat pump draws warmth from the air on a refrigerant cycle.
Siting
Roof collectors need sun and safe access, a heat pump wants clear air around it, and every outdoor unit needs a level base set well back from bedroom windows.
How We Fit a New System
- 1
Walk the site
We check where the unit will sit, the water and gas or power points nearby, the run for the relief drain, and how easily gear and people can reach the spot.
- 2
Set the base
A ground tank gets a level, solid base; roof collectors get framed and flashed; a heat pump gets its pad and clearance on all sides.
- 3
Connect it up
Water lines, the gas connection under licensed gasfitting where the unit burns gas, and the tempering valve set so bathroom taps run at 50°C at most.
- 4
Commission and hand over
We fill the system, set the thermostat so the tank stores water at 60°C or above, test the TPR valve and relief drain, then walk you through the controls.

What Moves the Price of a New Install
Four things shape the figure on a fresh install:
- The system itself, and whether the job means a change of type, since gas wants a supply line and a flue run while continuous flow electric leans on a heavy dedicated circuit.
- Where the unit sits, because a tank tucked low on a hillside block or a collector run on a steep roof takes longer to reach and fit.
- Trenching for new pipework, which the shallow stony ground on these slopes can slow right down.
- Valves and fittings a fresh setup calls for, such as tempering and TPR valves, or a relief drain run to a legal point.
Every hot water job is quoted as a fixed price before any work starts, and nothing goes ahead until you say yes. We keep to flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees and no surcharge for nights, weekends or public holidays. Fix now, pay later is available as well.
New Installs on These Hillsides
Fresh builds still land here
The wider area recorded 245 dwelling approvals over five years at the last count, and a new home is the cleanest install there is: pipework laid once, the unit sited properly, no old tank to fight out of a tight corner. The Gap Same Day Hot Water quotes those jobs from the plans stage where we can.
The ground makes you plan
Stone and granite grit sit close beneath the surface across this valley, so a pipe run toward the bottom of a block can mean working around rock rather than digging a straight trench, and we allow for that when quoting rather than finding out mid-job.
Bush-edge blocks get extra thought
Council's bushfire mapping takes in the lots that run up against the D'Aguilar side bushland and the Mount Coot-tha fringe, so on those blocks we site outdoor units and tanks with the exposure in mind from the first visit.
When We're Not the Right Call
Two parts of some new installs sit outside our trade: the fresh dedicated circuit a continuous flow electric unit needs, which is wiring for an electrician, and a manufacturer's warranty claim on a brand-new unit, which belongs with the maker. We say so up front rather than quote around either. For how a heat pump suits your household, see our heat pump hot water page, and for roof collectors see solar hot water.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 7170Does a new hot water system in The Gap need council sign-off?
Queensland law puts hot water installs in licensed plumber territory, with gas hook-ups needing a gasfitting licence too, and we will tell you if your particular job needs anything further.
Where should a tank sit on a sloping block in The Gap?
Anywhere with solid access, a safe relief drain run and room to work, though stony ground and a long fall down the block add time, and the quote reflects that before we start.
Can a heat pump go near bedrooms on a quiet The Gap street?
It can run there, but the compressor and fan both make noise, so we look for a position with clear airflow that sits well clear of bedroom windows before anything is bolted down.
Are new homes still being built in The Gap?
Yes; 245 dwellings were approved across the wider area over five recent years, and a fresh build is the cleanest install of all, sized to the household before the walls close in.
Does a gas hot water install involve Energex?
No, a gas hook-up is gasfitting work rather than anything electrical, but a continuous flow electric unit draws on a big dedicated supply, and that wiring is a job for your electrician.
