Flatmates arguing over who used the hot water? Our team sorts out hot water repairs in Toowong on the same day, and a worn-out system can be swapped for a new one that day too.
Available right now, with upfront prices and no surprises. Electric, gas, heat pump, solar and continuous-flow systems.
From apartments near Toowong Village to Queenslanders in the foothills of Mount Coot-tha, Lewis and the team repair and replace hot water systems on the same day. Our hot water page covers every system type.
Electric Storage
Electric tanks in flats and houses, including Rheem, with failed elements, faulty thermostats or leaks.
Gas & Continuous Flow
Continuous-flow units such as Rinnai that show fault codes or run hot and cold, plus gas storage tanks. Gas work is carried out by our licensed gas fitters.
Heat Pump
Heat pump systems checked for slow heating, noise and electrical faults.
Solar
Solar hot water, from the roof collectors to the tank, booster and valves.

Signs Your Hot Water System Needs Repair
Signs your Toowong system is struggling:
The second or third shower runs cold
Water that never gets properly hot
A puddle under the tank or unit
A dripping relief valve
Fault codes on a gas unit
Discoloured water from the hot tap
Hissing or popping from the system
In a busy share house the system may be fine but too small for the number of people. We test it before recommending anything.
We tell you which option makes sense and price it upfront.
Repair when
One component has failed
The tank is in good condition
Replace when
The tank is leaking or rusted through
The system can’t keep up with the household
Same-Day Replacement in Toowong
If the system has failed for good, we replace it on the same day.
In a flat the new unit has to fit a cupboard, laundry or balcony, and on a hillside house it may need to go down a flight of steps. Toowong’s slopes and stairwells are part of our plan before we quote.

Toowong Homes and Hot Water
Mostly apartments. At the 2021 Census about 68% of Toowong’s occupied dwellings were flats or apartments, two-bedroom homes made up around 47%, and households averaged 2.1 people. A compact system sized for the household is often the right fit.
Young and renting. With the University of Queensland close by, Toowong had a median age of 30 in 2021, about 14% of households were group households and 55% of homes were rented. Owners and property managers get our findings and price before we start.
Queenslanders towards the mountain. The western side of Toowong mixes medium-density homes with detached Queenslanders that extend to the foothills of Mount Coot-tha. On rolling hills like these, the system may sit under the house or down a set of stairs.
How a Toowong Job Runs
1. Check
We test the system and its supply to find what’s wrong.
2. Approve
The person paying sees the upfront price and approves it.
3. Restore
We repair or replace, test the hot water and clean up.
No Hot Water? While You Wait
If the tank is leaking, close its cold water valve if that’s safe.
Smell gas? Turn it off if safe, open the windows and get out.
Tenants should tell their property manager as well.
Yes. Toowong share houses, flats and family homes get same-day repairs, or a same-day replacement if the system is beyond fixing. Ring 0435 878 512.
Four of us share one small tank. Is it broken or just too small?
Either is possible. We test the element, thermostat and valves first, and if it’s healthy but simply too small for four, the owner gets a price for a bigger one.
Our landlord is overseas. Who approves the work?
Usually the property manager. We send them our findings and the upfront price and start once they give the go-ahead.
Can the owner pay off a new system?
Yes. A new system for a Toowong rental can be spread over time with interest-free finance.
