Repair or replace?
Not every system needs replacing. Elements, thermostats, pressure relief valves and tempering valves can often be repaired at a fraction of the cost of a new unit. But once a storage cylinder is leaking, replacement is usually the only practical option. We’ll always give you the honest answer on-site, for free.

Hot water questions from Canterbury
Clear answers to common hot water questions from Sydney homeowners.
Why is my hot water pressure lower than my cold water pressure?
Some difference is normal because hot water passes through the heater, valves and often a tempering valve. A large difference may be caused by a blocked strainer, failing valve, scale, undersized pipework or a restricted heater connection.
Why is my hot water brown, rusty or discoloured?
Brown or rusty hot water commonly indicates internal tank corrosion, deteriorated pipework or disturbed sediment. Compare the hot and cold water: if only the hot side is discoloured, the heater is the likely source. A badly corroded tank generally requires replacement.
Why does my electric hot water system keep tripping the circuit breaker?
Common causes include a shorted element, water entering electrical components, damaged wiring or a failing breaker. Repeatedly resetting it is unsafe. Leave the circuit off and have the heater tested by a qualified person.
Do you provide scheduled preventative maintenance?
Yes. Preventative maintenance can include valve testing, burner inspection, pump checks, temperature and pressure readings, leak inspection, cleaning and documenting developing faults.
How do I book a hot water repair or replacement?
Call 02 9344 6602 or use the online booking form. Providing photos of the heater, data plate, leak and surrounding area helps the team assess the job before attendance.
