Hot Water Repairs · Melbourne

Hot Water, sorted.

No hot water usually means a failed thermostat, pilot, element or valve, and sometimes a tank that has reached the end of its life. We carry common parts in the van and stock popular replacement units so you're not waiting days.

What we see locally

Space is tight in Inner-city terraces, so we often fit compact continuous-flow units on an external wall to free up room inside.

Many Essendon, Coburg and Camberwell homes have moved from an old gas storage tank to continuous flow, and we help weigh up the gas line sizing that switch needs.

Many Point Cook, Craigieburn and Mernda homes were built with gas continuous-flow or heat pump systems that are now reaching their first major service or replacement.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

Repair or replace?

If a unit is under about 8 to 10 years old and the tank isn't leaking, a repair is usually worth it. We'll tell you straight.

Can you replace my hot water today?

Often, yes. We keep common gas and electric units in stock for your suburb jobs.

Which system is cheapest to run?

It depends on household size and your energy tariffs. Heat pumps and continuous flow are often cheaper to run than older storage tanks.

Do you take the old unit away?

Yes, removal and disposal of the old unit is included in replacement quotes.
