No hot water? We come out today
No hot water, a leaking tank, a pilot light that won't stay lit, or water that runs warm then cold: call and a licensed plumber and gasfitter comes out. If the unit can be fixed, we fix it. If it's past repair, we tell you straight and quote a replacement on the spot.
What we repair
Gas hot water
Storage and continuous flow: Rinnai, Rheem, Vulcan, Thermann and others. Thermocouples, pilot lights, gas valves, burners, flues.
Electric hot water
Elements, thermostats, pressure relief valves, leaking tanks.
Continuous flow
Error codes, ignition faults, flow sensors and temperature controllers on instantaneous units.
Heat pump hot water
Fan, compressor and sensor faults, and the plumbing around the unit.
Older gravity-fed units
The units in the ceiling, common in Melbourne's older homes.
Servicing
A unit not serviced in five years is due. Valves, anode, pressure and temperature checked.
Same day, 24/7
Most hot water repairs are done in one visit. The van carries the common parts for Rinnai, Rheem, Vulcan, Thermann and Aquamax units. Emergency call-outs run 24 hours, seven days, so a cold shower on a Sunday night doesn't wait until Monday.
Repair or replace?
A tank with a small leak at a fitting is a repair. A tank leaking from the cylinder itself is a replacement, as the steel has rusted through. A unit over ten years old with a major fault usually costs more to keep repairing than to replace, and we'll say so. We install Rinnai, Rheem, Vulcan, Thermann and Aquamax and size the new unit to the household. See hot water system replacement.

Hot water repair questions
Can you come today?
Usually. Call before midday and a hot water repair in the northern and western suburbs is normally done the same day. After hours, the emergency line is the same number.
Do you repair all brands?
We repair the brands sold in Australia: Rheem, Rinnai, Dux, Aquamax, Thermann, Everhot, Bosch, Vulcan, Stiebel Eltron and Chromagen. If a part has to be ordered, we tell you how long.
My hot water is leaking. Should I turn it off?
Yes. Turn the cold water isolation valve on the unit off and, for an electric unit, switch it off at the switchboard. Then call us. A leaking tank can empty onto floors and walls.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace?
It depends on the age of the unit and the fault. We quote both when it is close, and the choice is yours.
Which suburbs do you cover?
All of Melbourne, with the quickest times in the north and west: Brunswick, Coburg, Preston, Reservoir, Essendon, Heidelberg, Ivanhoe, Northcote, Fitzroy, Epping, Glenroy and nearby.
