Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my hot water system stops working?
Turn off the power or gas supply to the system, switch off the water supply if there’s a leak, and call our plumbers. Do not attempt to repair a gas or electric water heater yourself.
How often should a hot water system be serviced?
Gas hot water systems should be serviced every 12 months and electric or heat pump systems every two years. Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns and ensures efficiency.
Can you repair my hot water system on the same day?
Yes. We offer same day repairs across Melbourne and carry common spare parts in our vans. If the unit is beyond repair, we can supply and install a replacement unit quickly.
Should I replace or repair my old hot water system?
If your hot water system is more than 8–10 years old, frequently breaks down or is expensive to run, we may recommend upgrading to a new, energy efficient model to save on running costs. Our plumbers will provide honest advice.
