Most no-hot-water calls turn out to be an element, a thermostat, a valve or an ignition fault, not a dead unit, so we price the repair first. When a system genuinely is at the end of its life we lay out gas continuous flow, electric storage and heat pump side by side with running costs for a Gold Coast household, tell you which rebates apply, and let you choose.

Included in the price

  • Fault diagnosis on gas, electric and heat pump systems
  • Element, thermostat, valve and sacrificial anode replacement
  • Tempering valve testing and replacement
  • Full system supply, old unit removal and installation
  • Gas work carried out under a Queensland gas work licence

Side by side

Gas, electric or heat pump.

Laid out plainly, before you commit to one.

Gas continuous flow

Endless hot water on demand, and the fastest to install where gas is already on site.

Upfront cost
Running cost

Electric storage

The lowest upfront cost. Element or thermostat faults are the usual repair, not the tank.

Upfront cost
Running cost

Heat pump

Costs more to install, much less to run, and the Gold Coast climate suits them better than further south.

Upfront cost
Running cost

Relative only, household to household. We price your actual options side by side on the day, and tell you which rebates apply.

What it costs

$320 to $4900

A service call, element or thermostat sits at the low end. The top of the range is a heat pump supplied, installed and commissioned before any rebate. Gas continuous flow sits in the middle.

Asked every week

Asked about this job.

No hot water at all. Do I need a whole new unit?
Usually not. On an electric storage unit it is most often the element or the thermostat, which is a fraction of a replacement. We test before we quote, every time.
Is a heat pump worth it on the Gold Coast?
The climate suits them, which is why they perform better here than they do further south. They cost more up front and much less to run, and rebates apply. We will show you both numbers.
Why is my hot water suddenly scalding, or barely warm?
That is usually the tempering valve, a safety device with a service life of about five years. It is a small part and a short job, and it is worth doing before somebody gets burnt.

Reviews left for hot water systems.

  • Hot water died the week the grandkids were staying. Sam tested it, said it was the element and not the tank, and had it running again the same afternoon for a fraction of what I had braced myself for.

  • Kate in the office is the reason I keep using them. She rings back, she tells you when they are running late, and she sorted the warranty claim on the unit for me.
