Real Jobs We’ve Fixed
Gas Hot Water Unit Replaced in Berwick
A homeowner in Berwick called us after their Vulcan gas hot water system randomly shut itself off. They’d just bought the property and weren’t sure how old the unit was or when it had last been serviced.
Luke booked them in for an inspection. Once on-site, he worked out exactly what the unit needed and had the right parts ready — no wasted trips for the customer.
Once we confirmed the details, we found the unit had reached the end of its service life. We replaced it with a new gas storage system and the customer had reliable hot water again with no repeated shutdowns.
The whole process — from the initial call to replacement — was handled with no surprises. We confirmed everything with the homeowner before starting any work.
Old Hot Water System Replaced in Narre Warren
A homeowner in Narre Warren called us after noticing water pooling around the base of their hot water unit. The system was an older storage tank and had been playing up for a while — the pilot light kept going out and needed to be relit manually every few days.
Luke came out to inspect. The tank had a slow leak from the base, the pilot assembly was worn, and the unit was well past its expected service life. Repairing it wasn’t going to be cost-effective — parts for older storage tanks can be hard to source, and even with repairs, the underlying tank corrosion wasn’t going away.
We recommended upgrading to a Thermann continuous flow gas system. It heats water on demand, so there’s no tank to corrode or leak, and the homeowner only pays to heat the water they actually use.
The old unit was removed and the new Thermann was installed the same day. The customer had hot water by the afternoon — no more relighting pilots, no more puddles, and no more worrying about when it was going to finally give out.

Hot Water Repairs vs. Replacement — What Do You Actually Need?
Not every hot water problem means you need a new system. In many
cases, a targeted repair is all it takes to get you back up and
running — and we’ll always give you a straight answer on which option
makes more financial sense before we start any work.
Signs your system might just need a repair:
- Rust-coloured water from the hot tap — often an anode rod that needs replacing, not the whole unit
- Loud rumbling or banging sounds — usually sediment build-up in the tank, cleared out during a service
- Water pooling under the tank — commonly a faulty pressure relief valve, which is a straightforward fix
- Running out of hot water too quickly — can be a thermostat or element issue on electric systems
- Pilot light keeps going out — common on older gas storage units, often just a thermocouple replacement
If a repair isn’t going to be worth it — for example, on a system
that’s 10+ years old with multiple issues — we’ll tell you upfront and
give you a clear quote for replacement. No upselling. No guesswork.
Just honest advice.
If you’re not sure what’s wrong, call us on 0421 725 624. We’ll ask
the right questions and let you know whether it’s worth us coming out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hot water system replacement in Melbourne typically costs between $900 and $2,500 depending on the type of system. Electric storage systems are the most affordable. Gas or heat pump systems cost more upfront but reduce running costs long-term. We provide a fixed quote before any work begins.
Most gas and electric storage hot water systems last 8–12 years. If your system is older than 10 years and showing signs of trouble — rust, leaks, or slow heating — replacement is often more cost-effective than repair. We’ll inspect it and give you an honest recommendation.
Key signs include: rust-coloured water from the hot tap, water pooling around the base of the unit, loud rumbling or popping sounds, water taking much longer to heat than normal, or a system that needs frequent repairs. Call us for a free assessment — 0421 725 624.
