Hot Water Petrie
Winters here barely touch frost and rooftop solar took off early, so a collector on the roof with an electric booster suits many a Petrie family home. We size and fit these systems and keep them running with anode and valve work.

Local Petrie Hot Water is the local hot water service for Petrie, Kurwongbah and Kallangur in the City of Moreton Bay. We handle every common system type, from electric and gas storage through to instant units, heat pumps and rooftop solar, mostly for the detached family homes that fill this 1970s-to-1990s suburb. Each job gets one fixed price, agreed before the work begins. For the fuller picture, here is who we are.

Every Common Hot Water System Covered
From the old storage tanks in the village cottages to the newest heat pumps on the hill, every system type here gets the same attention:
- Gas hot water: fast recovery, running on natural gas or LPG, as a storage tank or a continuous flow unit.
- Electric hot water: simple storage tanks, often the straightforward choice where gas isn't on site.
- Instant hot water: continuous flow units that warm the water as it travels through, so the supply doesn't run out.
- Heat pump hot water: pulls warmth out of the surrounding air instead of making it from scratch, trimming the running cost.
- Solar hot water: roof collectors doing the heavy lifting, with a booster for the cloudy stretches.
What Houses Here Run and Why They Fail
Tanks on their last legs
Subdivision spread across the surrounding hills from the late 1960s through the 1990s, so plenty of houses here have already worn out two or three cylinders. The usual fault is a rusted base or a burnt element, nothing exotic.
Solar gear ageing upstairs
Solar went in early across this district, and the kit on the roof, from collectors to anodes and tempering valves, is wearing out alongside the tanks below. A roof-circuit leak or a bath mix that runs too hot shows up beside the usual cylinder rust.
Old village pipe
The cottages around River Street plus Connors Street were built before town water arrived in 1961, so original supply pipework still under those floors is probably steel from the tank-water era rather than copper. That matters when a new unit gets connected.
How We Price Hot Water Work
Your hot water job is priced up front as a fixed quote, and no work begins until you've agreed to it. We work on flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees, and there's no extra charge for nights, weekends or public holidays. You can also fix now, pay later.
What moves the figure:
- The system and its size, because keeping the same fuel prices differently to a change of system.
- Where the unit sits, since a tank against an outside wall is a quicker job than one wedged under stairs.
- The connections, from gas pipe sizing to off-peak wiring and any valves the old setup lacks.
- Taking the old unit away once the new one runs.
When we're not the right call. Running a new power circuit for instant electric heating is electrician's work, and we can name one for you.

Which System Suits a House Here
Family-sized storage
At the last census the typical household ran 2.7 people, and 42.5 per cent of houses here carry four-plus bedrooms, so an undersized tank gets found out fast on a school morning.
Neighbours already switched
Across the postcode, install records list 972 solar hot water units and 430 heat pumps, so we service that gear as well as fitting new.
Off-peak friendly
Winters stay almost frost-free and summers humid, and plenty of tanks here heat overnight on off-peak power from Energex, so a straight swap keeps the cheap overnight heating in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, same-day service where we can, and whoever answers the phone tells you straight whether today's run can reach you before any booking gets locked in for your place.
