Hot Water FAQs

How much does a new hot water system cost?

Installed prices typically range from $1800 - $3000 for electric storage, $1,200–$2,500 for gas, and $3,500–$5,500 for heat pump systems. Exact pricing depends on brand, capacity, and installation complexity. Call 0487 810 593 for a free quote

Can you replace my hot water system the same day?

Yes — in most cases we carry common units on the van and can replace a failed system the same day you call. Call early and we'll do our best to get you hot water back before the end of the day.

Which hot water system type is best?

It depends on your property, gas availability, and budget. Heat pumps are the most energy-efficient long-term. Gas is fast and reliable. Electric is the simplest to install. We'll walk you through the options and recommend the best fit for your situation.

My hot water is lukewarm — do I need a new system?

Not necessarily. Lukewarm water is often caused by a faulty thermostat, a failing element, or a tempering valve issue — all of which can be repaired without replacing the whole unit. We'll diagnose it first before recommending a replacement.
