What matters for heating & cooling in Brisbane

  • Some Queensland work needs a licence at any value, including plumbing, drainage, gas fitting, chemical termite management, fire protection and mechanical services. Hydraulic services design needs a licence once it passes $1,100.

  • Most Queensland plumbing in an existing home is notifiable work, so the plumber registers it with the QBCC on a Form 4 within 10 business days of invoicing and must give you a copy. Replacing a water heater and moving a toilet, shower or basin are both on the notifiable list.

  • Queensland's Climate Smart Energy Savers appliance rebate and the Battery Booster battery rebate have both closed to new applications. Be careful with any quote that still discounts a heat pump, air conditioner or battery against a Queensland state rebate.

  • Urban Utilities, not Brisbane City Council, supplies water and sewerage to Brisbane, Ipswich, Lockyer Valley, Scenic Rim and Somerset. Anything involving a water meter or a sewer connection is an Urban Utilities matter.
