How long does water heater installation take in Brisbane?

Most standard water heater installations take 2-4 hours from start to finish. This includes disconnecting your old unit, installing the new water heater, connecting all utilities, and testing the system. If we need to upgrade gas lines, electrical connections, or venting, it might take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront so you can plan your day accordingly. Emergency installations can often be completed the same day you call, depending on the time and availability of the specific unit you need.
Yes, Brisbane requires permits for water heater installations, and we handle this process for you. The permit ensures your installation meets local building codes and safety requirements. We pull the permit, schedule the necessary inspections, and make sure everything passes. This protects you as the homeowner and ensures your installation is legal and safe. Skipping the permit process can cause problems when you sell your home or file insurance claims, so we always do it right from the start.
Water heater size depends on your household’s hot water usage, not just the number of people. A family of four typically needs a 40-50 gallon tank, but if you have multiple bathrooms, a large soaking tub, or high-efficiency appliances, you might need more capacity. We calculate your peak hour demand – the maximum hot water you’d use in one hour during your busiest time. This gives us the right size recommendation so you never run out of hot water when you need it most.
Gas water heaters are usually more cost-effective to operate in Brisbane, heating water faster and with lower ongoing costs. However, if your home doesn’t have gas lines or they’d be expensive to install, electric can be the better choice. Gas units recover faster after heavy use, which matters if you have a busy household. Electric units are often easier to install and maintain. We’ll assess your current setup, utility costs, and usage patterns to recommend the best option for your specific situation and budget.
Water heater installation costs vary based on the unit type, size, and any additional work needed. Standard tank installations typically range from $1,200 to $2,500 including the unit and labor. Tankless installations cost more upfront but can save money long-term. If we need to upgrade gas lines, electrical panels, or venting systems, that affects the total cost. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying with no surprise charges or hidden fees.
Tank water heaters store 40-80 gallons of hot water and are ready when you need them. They’re less expensive upfront and easier to install in most Brisbane homes. Tankless units heat water on demand, never run out, and take up much less space. They’re more energy efficient but cost more initially and may require electrical or gas upgrades. Tankless works great for smaller homes or families with consistent usage patterns. Tank systems are often better for larger families with high peak demand periods.
