“We’ve got no hot water!”
Running cold this morning? Start here.
If you’ve just turned on the tap and it’s running cold, you’re not alone, no hot water and hot water not working are two of the most common calls we take. Before you book, two quick checks can save you a visit:
If those look fine, or you can see water pooling around the tank, rust streaks, or hear the unit straining, leave it to us. A leaking tank won’t fix itself, and the longer it sits, the higher the risk of water damage to your floors and cabinetry. Call 0422 704 670 and we’ll aim to be there the same day.
Emergency hot water? Burst tank or major leak, turn off the water at the isolation valve and the power/gas to the unit, then call us. We carry common parts on the van to fix many faults on the first visit.
What We Fix
Hot water repairs
Most hot water problems are repairable, and a repair is almost always cheaper than a new unit. You get an honest assessment first: if it’s worth fixing, we fix it; if it’s near the end of its life, we’ll tell you straight. Here are some common faults we repair.
We service all major brands such as Rheem, Rinnai, Dux, Vulcan, Sanden, Bosch, Aquamax, Stiebel Eltron, Thermann and carry common spare parts, so many repairs are done in a single visit.
Replace & install
The honest repair-vs-replace call
If your system is 10–15+ years old, leaking from the tank itself, or failing repeatedly, replacement usually makes more financial sense than another patch-up. A rusted-through cylinder can’t be repaired, once it’s leaking from the tank, it’s replacement time.
All Types
Every type of system, supplied, installed and serviced
Not sure which suits your home? Here’s the plain-English version. We’ll match the type, size and brand to how your household actually uses hot water, not just sell you what’s on the truck.
Sizing Guide
What size hot water system do I need?
A rough guide for storage and heat pump tanks. We’ll confirm the right size on site so you never run out mid-shower.
| HOUSEHOLD | ELECTRIC / GAS STORAGE | HEAT PUMP |
|---|---|---|
| 1-2 people | 125-170 L | 200-250 L |
| 3-4 people | 250-315 L | 270-280 L |
| 5-6 people | 315 L+ | 300-315 L |
Continuous flow gas is sized by flow rate (litres/min) and number of bathrooms rather than tank volume.
Our Minimum Standards
No boot prints, no mess, no exceptions
Clean uniforms. Clean boots. Drop sheets down before we start. Tools, packaging, and offcuts out with us when we leave. If we need to open a wall or ceiling, we’ll tell you first and leave the area tidy.
You won’t find boot prints on your tiles or copper shavings in your bath. That’s not a bonus we charge for. It’s the minimum standard.
