Frequently Asked Questions
It comes down to the fault and the age of the unit. A failed thermostat, element or valve is usually worth repairing. A tank that has corroded through and is leaking is not, because the tank is the unit. We will tell you which one you have and give you both prices where both are realistic.
It varies a lot with the type of system, the water and how it has been maintained, so we will not put a number on your unit without looking at it. What we can tell you is the condition yours is in now and whether it is worth spending money on.
Yes, we are available 24 hours. Whether it needs to be after hours depends on the fault. A unit that has stopped heating can usually wait until morning, but one that is leaking through a wall or a ceiling cannot, so call and describe what you can see.
Not automatically. The old unit was sized for whoever lived there before, and the options have changed. We will go through what suits your household size and the space the old one occupied so you are choosing rather than defaulting.
The unit itself is only part of it. Access, whether the connections need changing and whether the new system fits the existing space all move the price. We will quote the whole job, not just the box, so there are no additions on the day.
We work across Maroondah, the Yarra Ranges, Knox, Whitehorse, the Dandenong Ranges and Cardinia from Mooroolbark. Have a look at the Areas We Serve page, and if your suburb is not listed, call and ask.
A Closer Look at Hot Water
What Usually Goes Wrong
Most hot water problems are one of a handful of faults. The thermostat fails and the water never gets hot. An element burns out. A valve starts weeping. A connection at the top of the unit corrodes and drips.
All of those are repairs. The one that is not is the tank itself, and that is usually obvious because it leaks from the base rather than a fitting.

If the unit is finished, the useful questions are how many people are showering in the morning, where the old system sat, and what fuel is already connected to the house.
Those three things narrow the choice down quickly. We will explain what each option means for running cost and space so you can make the call with real information.

A bathroom or kitchen renovation is a sensible time to deal with a tired hot water system, because the walls are open and the plumber is already there.
It also matters for the finished result. A new bathroom with two showers on a unit that was undersized for one is a problem you will notice every morning.

A hot water unit emptying itself through a wall or a ceiling is an emergency, and so is one that is leaking near switchboards or electrical fittings.
Shut off the isolation valve if you can reach it safely, then call. We are available around the clock across the eastern suburbs.
