Older Houses and Their Hot Water
One street, a century of tanks
The housing here runs from interwar and postwar weatherboard cottages through to recent flats, opened up when the trams pushed out along Gympie Road, and much of it sits under the pre-1947 dwelling character overlay. Tanks of wildly different ages can stand side by side on one street, and the oldest usually fail low down, where the undercroft stays damp.
Rusty first draws
Some of the earliest cottages here were connected as the reticulated water supply reached the tram-era estates, and the unrenovated ones can still carry galvanised steel pipe. It scales up inside, throttles the flow, and stains the basin on the first draw of the morning, so we test pressure before quoting any new unit on an old cottage.
Low ground by the brook
Council's creek flood mapping only touches the edge of the suburb, around Mercer Park beside the brook, and its February 2022 extent covers those streets. A replacement on that low ground gets sited with the mapped height in mind.
Hot Water Work Around Kedron
Six jobs cover most of what households here ask us for, and each one starts with a visit and a written figure:
- Hot water repairs: a failed thermostat, element or relief valve in a cottage near the Gympie Road shops.
- No hot water: a shower running cold on the first sharp morning of the cool season.
- Hot water replacement: a cylinder weeping from its shell, swapped before the underfloor damp wins.
- Hot water installation: a first system for a renovation or one of the newer flats off Eleventh Avenue.
- Heat pump hot water: a compressor sited for airflow, clear of bedroom windows on a tight block.
- Solar hot water: records across the postcode count 514 solar installs, so these roofs have form.
Lutwyche Hot Water Services quotes each of them in full before a tool comes out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 7158Do raised cottages in Kedron suit a heat pump?
They suit one well, because a raised house leaves room for airflow under or beside the floor frame, and we site the compressor clear of sleeping rooms and the neighbour's fence.
Can a flood near Kedron Brook damage my hot water system?
It can, because the creek flood footprint reaches the low streets near Mercer Park, so a unit that has gone under needs a full check of its valves and wiring before it restarts.
Do galvanised pipes in Kedron homes cause hot water problems?
They can, because steel lines fur up inside and choke the flow, so we test pressure at the farthest tap and tell you if the pipework should be renewed before a new unit goes in.
Which hot water system suits an apartment near the busway?
A modest tank or a continuous flow unit usually covers it, because the last census averaged 2.4 residents per home here, so we size to the household rather than the building's worst case.
Does Urban Utilities need to know about a tank changeover?
Rarely, because we isolate at your own valve and reconnect to your pipes, so the mains stay untouched, and we say on the day if anything about the connection needs the water authority involved.
