No hot water in your Valley apartment? We do same-day hot water repairs in Fortitude Valley, and if the system has failed, a same-day replacement, with the price agreed upfront.
Local, trusted and upfront. No surprises. Available right now for electric, gas, heat pump, solar and continuous-flow systems.
Lewis and the team repair and replace apartment hot water systems across the Valley on the same day, from compact electric tanks to gas continuous-flow units. Our wider hot water service covers all of Brisbane.
Electric Storage
Compact tanks in apartment cupboards and laundries. We replace elements, thermostats and valves and fix leaks, Rheem units included.
Gas Continuous Flow
Wall-hung continuous-flow units such as Rinnai with error codes, ignition faults or cold surges. Covered by our gas fitting service.
Heat Pump
If your building uses heat pumps and yours isn’t heating, we check the unit, tank and valves.
Solar
For homes with solar hot water, we check collectors, tank, valves and booster.

Signs Your Hot Water System Needs Repair
Signs your apartment hot water needs attention:
Cold bursts in the middle of a shower
Hot water that never gets properly hot
Water leaking into the cupboard or onto the floor
The relief valve or its drain line running non-stop
Error codes on the continuous-flow controller
Brown or rusty hot water
Clicking, banging or humming from the unit
A leaking system in an apartment can affect the floor below. Turn off its cold water valve if it’s safe, and let the building manager know.
We diagnose the fault, check the space and connections, and give an upfront price for a repair or a replacement so the owner can decide.
A fix makes sense when
A single part has failed
The tank or unit is otherwise sound
A swap makes sense when
The tank is leaking
The unit keeps failing, or parts would cost more than they’re worth
Same-Day Replacement for Valley Apartments
If your apartment system is beyond repair, we replace it the same day.
One- and two-bedroom apartments make up most of the Valley, so we size the new system for the household and the space, rather than defaulting to a bigger tank.
Removal of the old system, where included in your quote
Installation, connection and testing in the existing space
Gas compliance paperwork for gas units
An upfront price before work starts
Interest-free finance is available on hot water system replacements.

Hot Water in the Valley’s Apartments
Apartment living, mostly small. About 96% of occupied dwellings in Fortitude Valley were apartments at the 2021 Census. Around 42% had one bedroom, and about half of all households were people living alone. Small households need less hot water, which matters when choosing a replacement.
Shared or individual systems. A Valley tower may heat water centrally for every unit, or fit a heater inside each apartment. Building-wide outages go to the building manager. A cold shower in your apartment alone is a job for us.
Mostly rented. About 81% of Fortitude Valley dwellings were rentals at the 2021 Census. We work with property managers and owners, and give them a clear report and upfront price before any work.
Apartment Hot Water, Step by Step
1. Access
We arrange access with you or the building, then test the system and its supply.
2. Approval
The person approving the job gets an upfront price, and we start once they agree.
3. Done
We repair or replace, test the temperature and check for leaks before we leave.
No Hot Water? While You Wait
Close the cold water valve to a leaking system if you can do it safely.
Tell the building manager about any leak that could spread to other apartments.
Gas smell? Turn the unit’s gas off if safe, ventilate and leave.
