Same-Day Hot Water Repairs for New Farm Apartments and Homes
Unit cupboards, balcony continuous-flow units and tanks under old Queenslanders: Lewis and the team fix them all and replace them on the same day when needed. Our hot water page has more on what we do.
Electric Storage
Compact electric tanks in apartment cupboards and full-size tanks in houses. We repair elements, thermostats and valves, including on Rheem systems.
Gas Continuous Flow & Storage
Continuous-flow units on balconies and external walls, including Rinnai, plus gas storage tanks. Our gas plumbing page has more.
Heat Pump
Heat pump not heating like it used to? We check the unit and its connections, then tell you if repair makes sense.
Solar
For houses with solar hot water, we check the tank, booster and valves when the water won’t get hot.

Signs Your Hot Water System Needs Repair
Call us when you notice:
Water on the floor of the hot water cupboard
No hot water, or only lukewarm water
A continuous-flow unit that won’t start or shows an error
The relief valve dripping all the time or running
Hot water that runs out sooner than it should
Discoloured or rusty water from the hot tap
In an apartment, a leaking tank can quickly damage floors and the unit below. Turn off the cold supply to the system if you can do it safely, and call us.
We find out why the water is cold before we recommend anything, then price a repair and a replacement so you can compare.
Repair is usually right when
One component has failed, such as an element, thermostat, valve or ignition part
The tank or unit is otherwise sound
Replacement is usually right when
The tank is leaking or corroded
Faults keep recurring or the system no longer suits the household
Same-Day Hot Water Replacement for New Farm Units
When a system has failed for good, we install the replacement on the same day.
A unit’s new system has to fit the space and connections that are already there, whether that’s a cupboard, laundry or balcony. We check the space, explain the options that fit and get any approvals sorted with your body corporate or property manager first.
Disposal of the old system, where included in your quote
Installation, connection and testing of the new system
A temperature control device, required in Queensland on all new and replacement systems
An upfront price for everything before work starts
Interest-free finance is available on hot water system replacements. Rheem is a brand we often recommend, but we choose what suits your space.

Hot Water in New Farm: Apartments, Body Corporates and Old Houses
Three in four homes are apartments. In the 2021 Census, 74.5% of New Farm’s occupied dwellings were flats or apartments. Some buildings have a central hot water plant shared by every unit, while in others each unit has its own electric tank or gas continuous-flow unit. We check which setup you have before quoting.
From 1930s flats to converted warehouses. Several blocks of flats were built in New Farm in the 1930s, and the heritage-listed sugar refinery was converted into apartments. In older buildings, the hot water cupboard and pipework may need checking as well as the system.
Queenslanders and renters. New Farm also has 19th-century homes, Queenslanders and Federation houses, where the tank may sit under the house. More than half of households rented in 2021, so we work directly with property managers, landlords and body corporates.
What Happens When You Call
1. We Diagnose
We test the system and check the valves, connections and power or gas supply.
2. You Approve
We give you, or your property manager or body corporate, an upfront price. Work starts only once it’s approved.
3. We Fix and Test
We repair or replace the system, check the water heats properly and confirm there are no leaks.
No Hot Water? While You Wait
Turn off the cold water supply to the system if water is leaking and the valve is safe to reach.
If no unit in the building has hot water, tell the building manager or body corporate, as it may be a shared plant.
Smell gas on the balcony? Turn the gas off if it’s safe, ventilate and move away.
Tenants should report the fault to their property manager.
Can you replace an apartment hot water system today?
Yes. Same-day repairs and replacements are what we do, apartments included. Call 0435 878 512 and we’ll have hot water running in your home again today.
Who arranges repairs to a shared building hot water system?
Usually the body corporate or building manager. We can work with them on the repair. If only your unit has the problem, call us directly.
Will a new system fit my unit’s cupboard?
We measure the space and check the connections first, then recommend models that fit. If a different type would suit better, we’ll explain what’s involved.
I rent my apartment. What should I do?
Report it to your property manager or landlord. We can send our findings and upfront price to them for approval.
