Majority of the homes in Colonel Light Gardens still have the old galv/steel gas mains installed and over time some of these have started to develop leaks in the consumer’s gas main.
A job such as replacing or upgrading gas mains like this keeps our plumbers colonel light gardens very busy, in most cases a plumbing job like this can take a couple of days to complete it all depends on the size of the property and how many gas appliances (heaters, ovens, bbq’s, hot water services, bayonet fittings) we need to connect the new pipe work onto and if there is any digging to be done prior to make sure the new copper line complies with the South Australian Gas Code.
The small section of Colonel Light Gardens to the east of Goodwood Road which is in the middle of the suburb Daw Park use to be an army training camp during World War I, prior to this it was known as Grange Farm and today it is now used for housing as part of the Colonel Light Suburb in the council area of Mitcham, SA 5041.

Hot Water Repairs and Replacements – Colonel Light Gardens
Did you know that Mayfair Plumbing and Gasfitting can attend to your house or business any day of the week to assist with a hot water issue. We can provide temporary hot water solutions and in majority of cases can supply and install new hot water services the same day.
Our company is recognised by Bosch as an authorised repairers of instant gas hot water services such as Bosch 13P, Bosch Opti Flow, Bosch Battery and Bosch 13H models. We still carry all the parts to fix these units such as water section repair kits, hydro generators, ignition packs, fibre washers, gas regulators, rubber kinco seals for heat exchangers and spuds.
Common hot water faults we do attend to in Colonel Light Gardens, Daw Park and Westbourne Park are no pilot light, no hot water, hot water tank has burst, error code 11 and error code 12 on the temperature controllers and warm water only coming from the tank outside. The average life span of a hot water service in Adelaide is approx. 10 years and you will see most manufacturers warranties is for this period on either tank or the heat exchanger.
It has been very noticeable in the plumbing industry that over the past two years all suppliers have increased their prices and made the hot water services incredibly more for us to purchase. Models such as the Rheem Stellar 330 and Rinnai Infinity units were already expensive but today these systems have gone up even more (some systems by $300 to $400). Stock levels are back up in most plumbing merchants which has made our lives easier, but the cost of things is still on the up ward trend!
Throughout Colonel light gardens majority of the houses do have access to metered natural gas and for this reason you will see most properties with a gas storage or gas continuous flow water heater in use. In our opinion natural gas is still a very energy efficient source of heating water for the home. Businesses along Winston Avenue such as Becks Bake House (Melrose Park) and Michelangelo Dial A Pizza (Clarence Gardens) all use natural gas for heating the water on their properties also.
