Started in 2014.
Still doing one thing.

Northside Hot Water & Gas was founded in 2014 by a master plumber who'd spent ten years on general jobs and decided the best work was happening at the edges — the gas fitters and the hot water specialists kept getting called back to clean up generalist installs.

So we narrowed down. Hot water systems and gas fitting. That's the whole business. We don't rotate between drain-clearing on Monday and a roof-leak on Tuesday. Our five licensed gas fitters wake up thinking about flue clearances, BTU sizing, and continuous-flow gas-line upgrades.

The result — jobs done once, signed-off the same day, with compliance paperwork that holds up at sale-of-property. Over 2,800 jobs completed across Albion, Hamilton, Ascot, Clayfield, Wooloowin, Nundah and the surrounding northside suburbs.

"A generalist plumber installs maybe twenty hot water units a year. Our team installs that many in a month. The difference shows up the first time you have a problem."

// Why specialist beats generalist

Volume builds intuition. When you fit thirty Rinnai Infinity 26s in a quarter, you know the failure modes, the gas-line sizing margins, and the flue-clearance gotchas. Generalists can't get there — their plate is too wide.

// What we don't do

No drains, no roof, no leaks unrelated to HW or gas, no bathroom renovations. If a job isn't hot water or gas, we'll honestly refer you to a generalist plumber we trust.

Four reasons
customers stay.

Specialist focus

Hot water and gas only. We don't divide attention across ten trades — we got good by going deep on two.

// 01

Same-day service

Most northside jobs attended within 90 minutes. Common HW units stocked on the van — you don't wait for parts.

// 02

Up-front pricing

Fixed quote before we lift a tool. No "we'll see how it goes" hourly games — the price you agree is the price you pay.

// 03

QBCC licensed

Licence 1543628. Every job signed off, every gas job certified. Paperwork that holds up when you sell the property.

"Old electric tank died on a Sunday morning. Called Northside, had a new Rheem 315L installed by 3pm same day. The fitter knew exactly which model fit my existing setup — no upsell, no fuss. Cold shower count: zero kids."

SM
Sarah M. Albion · Hot water install
★★★★★

"New gas cooktop install — got three quotes, Northside wasn't the cheapest but the only one who properly explained the gas-line sizing for the new burner. Certificate of compliance arrived in my inbox the next morning. Trades-people who actually understand their craft."

DJ
Daniel J. Hamilton · Gas fit
★★★★★

"Smelled gas near the meter on a Saturday night. Northside fitter on site within the hour, isolated the leak, capped and certified. Calm, professional, didn't try to scare me into work I didn't need. This is who I'm calling from now on."

PR
Priya R. Ascot · Emergency gas
★★★★★

"Switched from a clapped-out electric storage to a Rinnai Infinity continuous flow. Northside did the gas-line upsize, mounted it cleanly on the side of the house, and the controller in the kitchen is a small thing that makes a big difference. No regrets."

Questions we hear
most weeks.

For common units — Rheem, Rinnai, Aquamax, Bosch, Dux — we stock replacements on the van and can usually have hot water running again the same day if you call before midday. Less common units may need a day's lead time. Either way, we'll tell you up-front, not on arrival.

Yes — any new gas appliance, new gas line, or alteration to an existing installation legally requires a QBCC-licensed gas fitter to issue a Form 4 Certificate of Compliance. We include this in every gas job as standard and email a digital copy within 24 hours. Cash-job gas work is illegal and uninsurable.

It depends on your household size, gas access and roof orientation. Continuous flow gives you endless hot water and is cheaper to run than electric peak-rate, but a 2-person household on solar power may be better off keeping electric with a timer. We'll do a no-obligation assessment and tell you straight — we lose money quoting the wrong system.

A plumbing licence covers water, drainage and sanitary. A gas fitting licence is a separate endorsement that covers gas pipework and appliances — the two qualifications don't overlap. Every Northside team member holds both, which is why we can handle hot water (plumbing) and gas (fitting) on the same job without sub-contracting. Many "plumbers" can't legally touch gas.
