Hot water systems

Repair, replace, and install gas, electric, and heat-pump hot water systems.

Hot water, sorted

A cold shower is a bad way to start the day. We service, repair, and replace every type of hot water system used in Melbourne homes: gas storage, gas continuous-flow, electric storage, electric heat-pump, and solar-boosted.

Repair vs. replace

If your system is under 10 years old and out of warranty, repair is usually the smart call. We'll diagnose the fault, quote the fix, and tell you honestly if we think you'd be throwing good money at a system that's on its last legs.

If it's older than 10 years, or if the tank has started leaking, replacement is almost always cheaper in the long run. Old tanks waste a huge amount of energy keeping water hot that you're not using — a modern heat pump or continuous-flow system can cut your hot water bill by 30-70%.

Which system is right for you?

This depends on your household size, existing connections (gas vs. electric), and available space. As a rough guide:

  • Heat pump: best efficiency, higher upfront cost, needs a bit of outdoor space
  • Continuous-flow gas: never runs out, only heats on demand, needs good gas supply
  • Storage gas or electric: cheapest upfront, fine for steady households, stops for tank size

We'll talk you through the options when we visit. If you've got rebates available through state or federal programs, we'll help you claim them — we're registered for the major schemes.

Warranty

All installations come with a 12-month workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer's warranty. We only fit brands we trust and we stand behind our work.
