Hot water systems on the Sunshine Coast

We ask what you have now, how many people use it and whether it's been giving you trouble, then give you the choices: usually the same type again, or a change if it would suit your house better.

Every new or replacement system in Queensland needs a temperature control device, usually a tempering valve, that limits how hot the water gets at your taps, so that goes in as part of the job. We check every joint for leaks and make sure it's heating before we go.

When you ring, we'll tell you when we can do the swap.

A lot of hot water faults come down to one part: a relief valve that won't stop dripping, a worn-out element or thermostat, a gas unit that won't light, or a solar pump that has stopped. These can often be fixed for a lot less than a new system.

A tank that has rusted through and is leaking can't be repaired. A new system is the only fix.

It depends on the type of system, but we recommend a check every year and a service about every 3 years, which helps it last longer and run more efficiently. The service picks up the small things before they leave you without hot water: the relief and tempering valves, the fittings for leaks and rust, and whether it still heats as it should. On a storage tank we can also check the anode, a metal rod that corrodes first so the tank lasts longer.

We also install and look after hot water in commercial buildings like offices, cafes, shops and medical practices.
