LPG Hot Water Systems Brisbane — Efficient Hot Water Wherever You Live

Not every home in Brisbane has access to natural gas — that’s where LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) systems come in.
At CK Plumbing, we install, repair, and maintain LPG hot water systems for homes across Holland Park, Mount Gravatt, Wishart, Coorparoo, Carina, and the wider Brisbane Southside.
Whether you need a new setup for a renovation or a replacement for your old tank, we make sure your home never runs out of hot water again.

Why Choose an LPG Hot Water System

LPG hot water units are a perfect choice for properties without a natural gas connection — including acreage homes, renovations, or rentals.

Benefits include:

  • Energy-efficient, low-emission operation.
  • Fast heating and steady water temperature.
  • Compact, wall-mounted design for easy installation.
  • Works with both instant (continuous-flow) and storage-type systems.
  • Lower running costs compared to electricity in many cases.

Our team helps you choose the best-sized unit for your household and available gas cylinder setup.

LPG vs Natural Gas — What’s the Difference?

Both provide instant, reliable hot water, but there are a few key differences:

Feature

LPG Gas

Natural Gas

Source

Stored in cylinders

Supplied via mains pipeline

Portability

Can be used anywhere

Fixed connection only

Energy Content

Higher energy output per litre

Slightly lower

Ideal For

Rural, suburban, or off-grid homes

Homes with gas connection

If you don’t have a mains line, LPG gives you the same performance and flexibility — with bottles that can be refilled or swapped easily.

LPG vs Natural Gas — What’s the Difference?

  • Pilot light won’t ignite or keeps going out.
  • Leaking gas regulator or pipe connection.
  • Inconsistent water temperature.
  • Faulty ignition or error code.
  • Low pressure due to cylinder supply issues.

We diagnose and repair most faults on the same day, keeping your hot water running safely and efficiently.

When It’s Time to Replace Your LPG Hot Water System

If your unit is over 10 years old, leaking, or losing heat rapidly, upgrading to a modern condensing system can save you energy and money.
We’ll remove the old unit and replace it with a high-efficiency model that meets your current needs.
