Hot Water Systems Brisbane

Not every fault means a new system. Here is the rule of thumb our plumbers use when they look at your unit:

• Usually worth repairing: a failed heating element or thermostat, a dripping relief (PTR) valve, a pilot light or ignition fault, or a tripping circuit on a system that is under about 8 to 10 years old.
• Usually time to replace: water leaking from the base of the tank, rust or rusty water from the hot tap, a tank over 10 to 12 years old that keeps needing repairs, or a system that can no longer keep up with your household.
• Worth thinking about an upgrade: if your power bills are high or your electric tank is near the end of its life, a heat pump or solar system can cut running costs.

We give you the options and a fixed price for each before any work starts, so you can choose with no pressure. Not sure what you have? Read our guide on the signs your hot water system needs replacing.

Every home is different, so we quote a fixed price after we have seen your setup. The main things that change the price are:

• System type: electric storage, gas storage, continuous flow, heat pump or solar.
• Size: the number of people and bathrooms in your home sets the tank size or flow rate you need.
• Like-for-like or a change: swapping electric for gas, or moving the unit, can need new gas lines, electrical work or plumbing changes.
• Access: units in a tight cupboard, ceiling space or upstairs take longer to swap.
• Compliance work: new installs must meet Queensland plumbing rules, including a tempering valve so bathroom water is delivered at a safe temperature.

Removal of your old unit is part of the job, and you'll know the full cost before we start. Ask us about flexible financing if you need to spread the cost.
