Which Homes Suit a Gas System
Gas suits two very different situations here, and picking between them comes down to how the household uses hot water:
Continuous flow gas
A wall-mounted unit that heats water only as it flows, so it never runs out and suits one or two person households that would rarely empty a tank.
Gas storage
A tank with a burner underneath, which recovers quickly between users and handles back-to-back showers without a pause.
LPG where no gas line runs
Continuous flow units work on bottled gas too, so a building without a gas connection is not automatically locked into electric.
A flue and airflow
Every gas burner needs a flue path to open air, which shapes where the unit can actually go.
How a Gas Install Runs
Teneriffe Hot Water Services runs every gas job to the same sequence, because gas leaves no room for guesswork:
- 1
Check the supply
We confirm the gas line and meter can feed the new unit, since a continuous flow system draws far more gas than an old storage burner did and undersized pipes starve the flame.
- 2
Plan the spot and flue
We set where the unit sits, work out the flue route to open air and keep clearances from windows and intakes.
- 3
Connect and fit
We make the gas connection, fit or test the gas control valve and thermocouple, and renew the isolation and tempering valves where they are due.
- 4
Final tests
We run the burner, confirm the tank holds water at 60°C or hotter, set the tempering valve so outlets deliver at 50°C, and walk you through the controls.

Pricing a Gas Hot Water Job
Four things shape the figure on a gas job more than anything else:
- The system type, because a storage tank and a continuous flow unit involve different gas work and different fitting time
- The flue route, which can be simple on an external wall and involved inside a brick building
- The gas pipe run from the meter, since a bigger unit sometimes needs a bigger line
- The valves the job touches, such as tempering, isolation and relief valves, which are cheapest to swap while everything is open
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.
Gas Systems in This Precinct
Most homes here are units
At the last census only one dwelling in ten stood alone, so a gas job usually means working inside an apartment building rather than a backyard on the grass.
Old walls shape the flue
In the converted woolstores, a flue has to pass brick and old timber structure, so we plan that route during the quote instead of improvising on install day.
Ground floors near the river
Council's flood maps take in Helen Street and stretches of Commercial Road close to the wharf, so a gas storage tank on those ground floors goes up on a stand, well clear of any rise, with its isolation valve easy to reach.
If a gas tank has heated its last bath, our hot water replacement page covers how we weigh a swap against another repair, and hot water repairs handles the faults short of that.
When We're Not the Right Call
A problem on the gas distributor's side of the meter is their patch, not ours, and we hand that one over rather than guess at it. Everything from the meter to the burner stays with us.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 1856Can an instant gas system work in a Teneriffe apartment?
Usually yes, provided the building can run a flue to open air and the gas supply is big enough for the unit, and we confirm both points before quoting so nothing shifts later.
Does a gas unit need a flue through heritage brickwork?
A flue has to reach open air, and in a converted woolstore that route gets planned around brick walls and old timber floors before the fixed quote is written, not after.
Is LPG workable where a building has no gas connection?
It is, because continuous flow units run happily on LPG bottles, which suits apartments without a gas connection, though bottle cage space and swap logistics deserve a thought before you commit.
How long does a gas hot water swap take in Teneriffe?
A straightforward swap can finish in a single visit, though reaching a unit tucked in an old conversion can add planning time, which we build into the appointment we set with you.
Is a gas smell from a Teneriffe unit an emergency?
Treat it as one, because you should never relight the unit, turn the gas off at the meter, ring the gas distributor's emergency line first, then call us once the area is safe.
