Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a hot water system last?
Depending on your maintenance and the frequency of use, hot water systems can last around 8 – 12 years when installed by professional plumbers. Contact us to arrange a quote for your new hot water system or when you need emergency plumber to fix your hot water system issues.
What type of hot water system is best?
All hot water systems offer various pros and cons. Solar systems are a relatively low maintenance option, being an environmentally friendly, cost-effective approach. Gas systems are low cost and they heat water twice as fast as other systems. Electric hot water systems are easy to use and the units themselves are compact, allowing space saving. Our team can help you choose the right hot water system for your home, taking into consideration your hot water usage and needs as well as your budget.
What is a thermostatic mixing valve?
A thermostatic mixing valve is a valve that blends hot and cold water, ensuring constant and comfortable water temperatures. These systems also shut water off rapidly in the event of a hot or cold supply failure. Used mainly for baths, showers and sinks, our plumbers can install thermostatic mixing valves into the plumbing system at your home or business.
Are solar hot water systems suitable for businesses?
Yes. Solar hot water systems are a great option for businesses, especially those that consume a large volume of water. These include manufacturing facilities, industrial sectors, and leisure centres. An assessment of your plumbing and pipes will be conducted to ensure the correct position of your new hot water systems pipes and the extra protection that may need.
How much roof space is required for hot water solar system installations?
This will vary according to the size of the system being installed. Size is dependent on water consumption, family size, location, and climate. It is estimated that a singular tube collector requires approximately 50 square feet and will produce around 80 to 120 gallons of hot water a day.
What are the signs that my solar hot water system needs to be repaired?
There are several reasons why your solar hot water system may require repairs. These include damage to panels or other components, water leaks coming from your roof, and limited hot water output. If you’re experiencing any of these problems, give us a call.
When should I get my solar hot water system serviced?
On average, we recommend that you get your system serviced by a professional every two years. Anti-freeze fluid can be replaced, and thorough inspections will take place.

Hot Water Installation & Repairs
Harness the power of Australia’s all-around sunny weather with solar hot water systems. They work by absorbing the sun’s heat and transferring it to your home where it pre-heats water in a storage cylinder and makes it ready for instant use.
But what about the winter months when there is less sun? Solar hot water systems work alongside conventional water heating systems, such as boiler or immersion systems, to ensure optimal performance even on cloudy days.
Call us today to learn more about installation options tailored to you.
