Apartment shower gone cold, or the tank under the house leaking? We fix or replace hot water systems on the same day. Our local team handles hot water repairs in Hamilton, from riverside units to older homes on the hill, and prices every job upfront.
Available right now. Trusted, local and upfront, with no surprises. We repair and replace electric, gas, heat pump, solar and continuous-flow systems.
Most Hamilton homes are apartments, so we’re used to working in compact laundries, balconies and plant cupboards. Lewis and the team repair or replace the system the same day you call. Read more about our hot water repairs and replacements.
Electric Storage
Small and large electric tanks, from a unit’s laundry cupboard to a house’s back wall. We replace elements, thermostats and valves, including on Rheem systems.
Gas Continuous Flow & Storage
Continuous-flow units such as Rinnai that won’t fire or keep cutting out, plus gas storage tanks. See our gas plumbing services.
Heat Pump
Heat pump struggling to keep the tank hot? We check the unit, valves and connections and tell you if it’s worth fixing.
Solar
Solar tank not getting hot enough? We look at the booster, valves and tank to find the fault.

Signs Your Hot Water System Needs Repair
Signs it’s time to call us:
The continuous-flow unit shows an error code or won’t fire
No hot water anywhere in the home
Hot water that runs out faster than it used to
A wet floor in the laundry cupboard or around the tank
The relief valve running constantly
Discoloured or rusty hot water
New noises from the system, such as rumbling or hissing
A leak inside a unit can reach the floor below, so act quickly. If it’s safe, close the cold water valve to the hot water system, then call us.
Not every cold shower means a new system. We work out the cause, then give you upfront prices so you can choose between a repair and a replacement.
A repair is often enough when
A single part has failed, such as a thermostat, element, valve or igniter
The tank or heat exchanger is in good condition
A replacement is often smarter when
The tank is leaking or badly corroded
The system keeps breaking down or no longer suits the household
Same-Day Replacement for Hamilton Units and Homes
When the old system can’t be saved, we fit the new one on the same day, so you’re not booking cold showers at the gym.
In units, the new system has to fit the existing cupboard or balcony and its connections, so we measure up and suggest models that suit. We often recommend Rheem, and we’ll explain what’s involved if you want to change system type.
Removal of the old unit, where included in your quote
Connection of the new system and a full test once it’s running
Compliance paperwork for gas installations
A complete upfront price before work begins

Hamilton Hot Water: Apartments, Rentals and Hillside Homes
Seven in ten homes are apartments. In the 2021 Census, 70% of Hamilton’s occupied dwellings were flats or apartments. Some buildings run one shared hot water plant for every unit, while others give each unit its own electric tank or continuous-flow unit. We start by finding out which one you have.
Most households rent. More than half of Hamilton households were renting in 2021. We report to property managers, landlords and body corporates and wait for their approval before any work starts.
Older homes on the hill. Most of Hamilton is elevated, and by the 1860s it was known for fine villas. Seven of its residences are on the Queensland heritage register. In older houses, we check the pipework and valves as well as the tank.
Three Steps to Hot Water Again
1. Find the Cause
We check the system, its valves and the electricity or gas supply to pin down the fault.
2. Agree on a Price
You get an upfront price for the repair or replacement, and we only start once you approve it.
3. Restore and Test
We complete the work, confirm the water heats properly and check every connection for leaks.
No Hot Water? While You Wait
If water is leaking, close the cold valve to the system if it’s safe to reach.
If the whole building has no hot water, let the building manager or body corporate know, as it may be a shared plant.
If you smell gas, turn the gas off if it’s safe, ventilate and step away.
Don’t block a running relief valve, and leave gas and electrical parts to licensed trades.
On the same day you call, whether it needs a repair or a full replacement. Ring 0435 878 512 and our team will have your hot water back on today.
Our whole building has no hot water. Who do we call?
If your building has a shared hot water plant, the body corporate or building manager usually arranges the repair, and we can work with them. If only your unit is affected, call us directly.
My continuous-flow unit shows an error code. Can you fix it?
Usually, yes. An error code points to an area such as ignition, gas supply or water flow. We test the unit to find the actual fault.
I’m a tenant. Can I call you?
Yes, but tell your property manager or landlord first, since they normally approve the work. We can send the findings and price straight to them.
Will I know the cost before you start?
Yes. You get an upfront price once we’ve found the fault, and nothing starts until you approve it.
