Hot water systems, installed and repaired
No hot water, or a unit on its last legs? We repair, replace and install gas, electric, solar and heat-pump systems — and help you pick the right one.
Repair it or replace it — the honest answer
When the hot water goes cold, the first question is whether to fix the existing unit or replace it. That comes down to the unit's age, the fault and what it costs to run. Most tanks last around ten to twelve years, so a leaking or failed unit near that age is usually better replaced than patched — but a younger unit with a blown element or thermostat is often a straightforward repair. We'll give you the honest call, with pricing for both.
If it's time for a new system, the choice between gas, electric, solar and heat-pump comes down to your household size, whether you have solar panels or a gas connection, and how much you want to spend running it. We supply and install all the major types and brands, size the unit to your household so you don't run out mid-shower, and fit a tempering valve so bathroom water is delivered at a safe temperature to code.
Hot water work we do
From a same-day swap-over to a full changeover between fuel types — sized, installed and certified.
Gas hot water
Continuous-flow and storage gas units supplied and installed, including the gas fitting and compliance certificate — natural gas or LPG.
Electric hot water
Electric storage tanks repaired and replaced, including element, thermostat and sacrificial anode replacement to extend tank life.
Solar & heat-pump
Energy-efficient solar and heat-pump systems installed to cut running costs — a smart match if you already have rooftop solar.
Same-day changeovers
Failed units swapped over quickly — most like-for-like replacements are completed the same day so you're not cold for long.
Tempering valves
Tempering and TMV valves fitted and replaced so hot water is delivered to bathrooms at a safe maximum of 50°C, as required.
Repairs & servicing
Lukewarm water, running-out-quickly and leaking units diagnosed and repaired where it's the sensible option.

Right-size the system
If you're replacing, we help you choose the fuel type and capacity to suit your household so it isn't undersized or over-spec'd.
