Matt solved a MAJOR problem when he fixed our burst water in line. The original inbound water pipe was under a pattern stamped concrete driveway (big mistake). No problem for Matt – he ran a new connection from the meter into the house avoiding the massive cost that would otherwise have been the case by mending the original pipe. Always on time, responsive and easy to deal with. Also, not expensive at all. Great plumbing service.

Had Matt turn up for a job yesterday and once again provided quality service at an affordable price. Myself and extended family have been using GOATS plumbing for many years and couldn’t be happier with Matt’s knowledge and standard of work.

I had Goats Plumbing take care of the re-plumbing for water and gas in my small unit renovation — covering the kitchen, laundry, and bathroom — and Matt was fantastic to work with. The quote was quick and fair, the work was completed on time and at a great price, and the quality was excellent. Super easy to communicate with and really collaborative throughout the project. I’d happily recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, skilled plumbing work.Definitely recommend

We are so happy with the work Matt did for our bathroom. He is super easy to work with, pays attention to detail and shared ideas on how to make it exactly what we wanted. Nothing was too difficult for him, such a stand-up guy! Would highly recommend – thanks Matt.

Gas Hot Water Systems in Greensborough

Gas hot water systems are the most popular choice for many Australian households, and it is easy to understand why. Gas is typically cheaper than electricity per unit of energy, gas continuous flow systems deliver endless hot water on demand, and modern gas hot water systems are highly efficient. If your home has a natural gas connection, a gas hot water system is often an excellent option.

Goats Plumbing installs, services, and repairs gas hot water systems for homes across Greensborough and surrounding areas. As licensed gasfitters and plumbers, we handle the full installation including all gas and plumbing connections.

  • Gas continuous flow (instantaneous) systems
  • Gas storage systems
  • Indoor and outdoor models
  • All major brands including Rinnai, Rheem, Bosch, and more

Continuous Flow vs Gas Storage Systems

When choosing a gas hot water system, the main decision is between a continuous flow system and a storage tank system. Goats Plumbing helps clients understand the difference and choose the right option:

  • Continuous flow (instantaneous) – Heats water on demand as you use it. No storage tank, no standby heat loss, endless hot water, and smaller physical footprint. Higher upfront cost but typically lower running costs. The most popular choice for most households.
  • Gas storage – Maintains a tank of hot water ready to use. Lower upfront cost. Standby heat losses mean slightly higher running costs than continuous flow. Can run out if demand exceeds tank capacity.

Goats Plumbing will assess your household’s hot water usage patterns and recommend the right system size and type to meet your needs without over-specifying.

Gas Hot Water System Sizing

Getting the right size gas hot water system is important for both performance and running costs. An undersized system will leave you running out of hot water; an oversized one wastes energy heating more water than you need. Here is a general guide:

  • Continuous flow systems are rated in litres per minute output. A single bathroom home typically needs a 16 L/min unit, while homes with multiple bathrooms in use simultaneously may need a 20 to 26 L/min unit.
  • Gas storage systems are sized by tank capacity. A 130-170 litre tank typically suits 1 to 2 people, 250-315 litres for 3 to 4 people, and larger for bigger households.

Goats Plumbing will assess your household and property before recommending a specific system size.

Gas Hot Water Installation Requirements

Installing a gas hot water system requires both licensed plumbing and licensed gas fitting work. Goats Plumbing holds both licences and handles the full installation:

  • Connecting the unit to your cold water supply and hot water distribution pipework
  • Connecting to the natural gas supply line
  • Installing or connecting to the flue system for indoor units
  • Pressure and temperature relief valve installation and connection
  • Pressure testing the gas connection and issuing a gas safety certificate

Our process

Our Gas Hot Water Installation Process

1.

Assessment and selection
We assess your household hot water usage, gas supply pressure, and installation location to recommend the right gas hot water system size and model.

2.

Remove old system
The existing hot water system is safely disconnected from the gas, water, and flue connections, and removed from the site.

3.

Install new system
The new gas hot water system is installed with all plumbing and gas connections made correctly. For indoor units, flue connections are installed or extended as required.

4.

Gas test and certify
The gas system is pressure tested to confirm there are no leaks. The system is commissioned and tested, and a gas safety certificate is issued before we leave.
