Supply Only 130/135L Gas Hot Water Systems Across Australian Metro Areas
Supply only is ideal if you already have a licensed gas fitter or plumber ready to install your new 130L or 135L gas hot water system. This option suits homeowners managing their own trade, builders ordering for a project, property managers arranging a replacement, and trade customers who only need the unit supplied.
The product price is for the gas hot water system only. Installation, valves, old unit removal, disposal, gas work, electrical work, pipework changes, tempering valves, drainage work, access upgrades, compliance upgrades and gas compliance work are not included unless selected separately.
Before ordering supply only, check that the gas storage system suits the property, gas type, household demand, available space, installation location, access path, connection positions and compliance requirements. This is especially important when replacing an older gas storage tank, changing brands, switching between natural gas and LPG, or comparing a storage system against instant gas hot water.
Supplied and Installed 130/135L Gas Hot Water Systems in Brisbane and Gold Coast
Supplied and installed options are available on selected 130L and 135L gas hot water systems in eligible Brisbane and Gold Coast service areas. This option is designed for customers who want the product and installation organised together instead of buying the unit separately.
Supplied and installed can be useful when an existing gas storage system has failed, when a rental property needs a practical replacement, or when the home already has a similar gas storage unit and the customer wants a straightforward replacement path.
Availability depends on your address, existing system, gas type, installation location, site access, plumbing setup, gas supply, drainage and current compliance needs. Some jobs may need additional valves, disposal, gas pipework, pipework changes, drainage changes, tempering valve upgrades or compliance work depending on the property.
What Is a 130/135L Gas Hot Water System?
A 130L or 135L gas hot water system is a gas storage hot water unit that heats and stores water inside a tank. Unlike instant gas systems, which heat water as it flows through the unit, a gas storage system keeps a set volume of hot water ready for use.
These systems are commonly used as practical replacements for older external gas storage units. They can suit homes where the existing gas storage setup has worked well and the customer wants to stay with a familiar tank-style system.
A 130L or 135L gas storage unit is generally smaller than larger gas storage tanks, making it better suited to lower to moderate hot water demand. It may suit small families, couples, townhouses, rental properties and homes where a larger gas storage unit is not required.
Who Should Choose a 130L or 135L Gas Hot Water System?
A 130L or 135L gas hot water system may suit small to medium households, couples, smaller families, townhouses, compact homes, rental properties and homes with moderate daily hot water demand.
It can also suit customers replacing an existing 130L, 135L or similar gas storage system that has reached the end of its service life. If the old unit supplied enough hot water and suited the installation location, another similar-sized gas storage system may be a practical replacement.
For larger families, homes with multiple bathrooms, regular bath use, heavy back-to-back showers or higher peak-time demand, a larger gas storage unit or instant gas system may be worth comparing. A 130L or 135L gas system can be a strong option in the right setting, but it needs to match the way the home uses hot water each day.
Natural Gas and LPG 130/135L Gas Hot Water Systems
130L and 135L gas hot water systems may be available in natural gas and LPG versions, depending on the brand and model. The correct gas type must be selected before ordering.
Natural gas models are designed for properties connected to a natural gas supply. They are common in many metro areas where mains gas is available.
LPG models are designed for properties using bottled LPG. They may suit homes without natural gas access, acreage properties, rural homes, granny flats, secondary dwellings and selected outdoor installations where LPG is already available.
Natural gas and LPG models are not the same. Ordering the wrong gas type can delay installation and may require product exchange or additional work. If you are unsure, check the label on the existing unit or confirm the gas type with your licensed gas fitter before ordering.
130/135L Gas Storage Size Guide
A 130L or 135L gas storage system provides a moderate stored volume of hot water. It can suit homes where a compact gas storage tank is enough for daily use, but it may not be the right fit for every household.
A 130L or 135L gas hot water system may be suitable for:
Small to medium households
Couples
Small families
Townhouses
Compact homes
Rental properties
Homes with one bathroom
Properties replacing an existing 130L or 135L gas storage tank
Homes with moderate daily hot water use
Customers wanting gas storage rather than instant gas
A 130L or 135L gas hot water system may not be suitable for:
Large families
Homes with several bathrooms
Heavy back-to-back shower use
Regular bath use
High peak-time hot water demand
Shared homes with several occupants
Properties that regularly ran out of hot water with a similar-sized tank
If the current system has regularly run out of hot water, replacing it with the same size may not solve the issue. In that case, a larger gas storage system or instant gas hot water system may be worth comparing.
130L vs 135L Gas Hot Water Systems
130L and 135L gas hot water systems sit in a similar size range and are often compared for the same types of homes. The exact model available may depend on the brand, product range, gas type and current stock.
A 130L gas hot water system may suit customers replacing an existing similar-sized unit or looking for a compact gas storage option.
A 135L gas hot water system may also suit compact to medium households and is commonly used as a practical replacement size across selected gas storage ranges.
When comparing 130L and 135L systems, focus on the gas type, dimensions, warranty, connection positions, recovery performance, installation location and whether the new unit is a practical match for the existing site.
130/135L Gas Storage vs Instant Gas Hot Water
A 130L or 135L gas storage hot water system stores heated water in a tank, ready for use when needed. It can be a practical choice when replacing an existing gas storage unit and the customer wants to stay with a familiar system style.
An instant gas hot water system heats water as it flows through the unit. It is usually wall-mounted outside and is compared by flow rate, such as 16L, 20L or 26L, rather than tank capacity.
Gas storage may be better when the current storage setup has worked well and the customer wants a straightforward replacement. Instant gas may be worth comparing where the customer wants a compact wall-mounted unit, stronger continuous flow performance, or an upgrade from a storage tank.
Changing from gas storage to instant gas may involve gas pipework, wall mounting, plumbing changes, electrical work, drainage changes, valve upgrades and compliance work. These extras are not included in the product price unless selected separately.
130/135L Gas Storage vs Electric Hot Water
A gas storage hot water system uses natural gas or LPG to heat stored water in a tank. An electric storage system uses electricity to heat stored water.
A 130L or 135L gas storage system may suit homes already set up for gas hot water, especially where the existing gas storage unit has worked well. Electric storage may suit homes already set up for electric hot water or customers wanting a simpler electric replacement path.
Changing from gas to electric, or electric to gas, is not usually a simple product swap. The property may need gas work, electrical work, pipework changes, disconnection or capping of services, valve changes and compliance checks.
The best choice depends on the existing setup, energy source, household demand, installation location, budget and site requirements.
Outdoor Installation for 130/135L Gas Hot Water Systems
Most residential gas storage hot water systems sold for standard replacement are external outdoor models unless the product is specifically designed and approved as an internal or flued indoor appliance.
External gas storage systems are commonly installed beside the home, near an existing service area, in a side passage, near a laundry wall or in another compliant outdoor location.
Before ordering, check the system’s dimensions, location, clearances, gas pipework, water connections, drainage, access, ventilation and compliance requirements.
Do not assume an external gas storage unit can be installed indoors. Indoor gas installations require the correct appliance type, flueing, ventilation and compliance setup. The product specifications and licensed installer should confirm suitability before ordering.
Replacing an Existing 130/135L Gas Hot Water System
If your existing 130L or 135L gas hot water system has worked well, replacing it with another similar-sized gas storage unit can often be a practical option. This can help keep the replacement close to the existing setup, especially when the old unit suited the property’s hot water demand.
Before choosing a replacement, check the old system’s gas type, tank size, brand, model, installation location, connection points, valve condition, drainage, access and gas supply.
A replacement is also a good time to consider whether the current size still suits the property. A growing family may need a larger system. A smaller household may be comfortable staying with the same size. A rental property may prioritise practical replacement, brand reliability and simple ongoing use.
130/135L Gas Hot Water Brands Available
Installed Today stocks selected 130L and 135L gas hot water systems from trusted brands, depending on product availability. Across the broader gas storage range, this may include brands such as Rheem, Rinnai, Vulcan, Dux and Aquamax.
When comparing 130L and 135L gas hot water systems, look beyond the brand name. Check the gas type, storage capacity, warranty, dimensions, connection positions, recovery performance, outdoor installation requirements, household suitability and whether the model is a practical replacement for your existing system.
Some customers want a budget-friendly replacement. Others want a known brand, a tough storage unit, a natural gas model, an LPG model, or a product that closely matches the old system. The best choice depends on the property, budget and reason for replacement.
130/135L Gas Hot Water System Buying Guide
Is a 130L or 135L gas hot water system enough for a family?
A 130L or 135L gas hot water system can suit some small families and moderate-use households, especially where the home has one bathroom and the existing system has handled daily use well.
For larger families, multiple bathrooms, long back-to-back showers or regular bath use, a larger gas storage system or instant gas hot water system may be worth comparing.
Should I choose natural gas or LPG?
Choose natural gas if your property is connected to natural gas and the selected model is designed for natural gas. Choose LPG if your property uses bottled LPG and the selected model is designed for LPG.
Natural gas and LPG models are different, so the correct version must be ordered. If you are unsure, check the existing unit label or confirm the gas type with your licensed gas fitter.
Can I replace my old 135L gas system with the same size?
Replacing an old 135L gas hot water system with another similar-sized model can be practical if the old unit supplied enough hot water for the property. It may also help simplify the replacement when the new system has similar dimensions and connection positions.
However, the replacement still needs to suit the current site. Gas type, clearances, valve condition, drainage, access, connection positions and compliance requirements should all be checked before installation.
Is gas storage better than instant gas hot water?
Gas storage may be better if the property already has a gas storage unit and the customer wants a familiar like-for-like replacement. It stores hot water in a tank and can be a straightforward option when the existing setup has worked well.
Instant gas may be better where the customer wants a wall-mounted continuous flow system and the property has suitable gas supply, water pressure and installation conditions. The best option depends on the home, budget, gas setup and hot water demand.
Can I change from gas storage to instant gas?
Changing from gas storage to instant gas may be possible, but it is not always a simple swap. Instant gas systems have different gas supply, water connection, wall mounting, electrical and drainage requirements.
The job may involve gas pipe upgrades, plumbing changes, valve upgrades, electrical work, disposal, wall mounting and compliance work. These extras are not included in the product price unless selected separately.
Are 130L and 135L gas hot water systems suitable for rentals?
130L and 135L gas hot water systems can suit some rental properties, especially smaller homes, townhouses and properties with moderate occupant numbers.
For larger rentals or homes with several occupants, a larger gas storage unit or instant gas hot water system may be more suitable. The best option should match tenant demand, property layout, gas type, installation location and long-term practicality.
What should I check before buying a 130L or 135L gas hot water system online?
Before buying a 130L or 135L gas hot water system online, check the gas type, tank size, installation location, dimensions, connection positions, clearances, gas supply, access path, drainage, valve condition and whether the property may need extra gas work, pipework changes or compliance upgrades.
For supply only, your licensed gas fitter or plumber should confirm suitability before installation. For supplied and installed options in Brisbane and Gold Coast, the product page questions help identify common installation requirements before checkout.
Can a gas storage hot water system be installed indoors?
Most standard residential gas storage hot water systems are external outdoor units unless the product is specifically designed and approved for indoor or flued installation.
Do not install an external gas unit indoors. Indoor gas installations require the correct appliance, flueing, ventilation and compliance setup.
