Same-Day Hot Water Repairs and Replacements for Wilston
Wilston’s homes are mostly houses, many on sloping blocks, and Lewis and the team know how to reach and repair the systems under them. We fix or replace systems on the same day. More on our hot water page.
Electric Storage
Electric tanks under the house or against an outside wall, including Rheem. We repair elements, thermostats, valves and leaking joints.
Gas Storage & Continuous Flow
Gas tanks with pilot or burner trouble, and continuous-flow units like Rinnai that won’t fire. Find out more about our gas plumbing.
Heat Pump
Heat pump making noise or not heating? We check the unit, valves and connections and give you the honest repair-or-replace answer.
Solar
Solar tank running cool? We test the booster and valves and inspect the tank.

Signs Your Hot Water System Needs Repair
Signs your system needs a look:
Not enough hot water for the whole household
Cold water from the hot tap
Water seeping from the base of the tank
A constant drip or stream from the relief valve
Gas system pilot that won’t stay alight
Rumbling or banging from the tank
Rust-tinted hot water
Under-house tanks can leak for a while before anyone notices. If you see water or rust around the base, call us.
We find the fault first, then recommend the option that makes sense for your home, with an upfront price for a repair and for a replacement.
Repair when
A part has failed, such as an element, thermostat, valve or ignition component
The tank shows no leaks or serious rust
Replace when
The tank is leaking or corroded
The system is undersized for a growing household or keeps breaking down
Same-Day Replacement for Wilston Homes
When the tank is finished, we remove it and install the new system on the same day.
For under-house systems, we check access, the space and the pipe run before recommending a model. Rheem is one brand we often recommend, but we choose the size and type that suit your household.

An upfront price for the whole job

Wilston Homes and Their Hot Water
Interwar homes on the slopes. Wilston grew mainly between the wars, and its housing spread up the elevated slopes of Eildon Hill. On sloping blocks, the hot water system is often under the house, so access and the pipe run matter when we repair or replace it.
Big households. In the 2021 Census, 70% of Wilston’s occupied dwellings were separate houses, and 42% had four or more bedrooms. A bigger household needs a system sized to match, and we take that into account.
Rentals too. About a third of Wilston homes were rented in 2021. We work with landlords and property managers and send our findings and price for approval.
Getting Your Hot Water Back
1. Test and Diagnose
We test the heating parts, valves and supply to find out what’s wrong.
2. Upfront Quote
You get a clear, upfront price for repair or replacement, and nothing starts until you approve it.
3. Fix and Confirm
We carry out the work, confirm the water heats properly and check for leaks.
No Hot Water? While You Wait
If the tank is leaking and you can reach it safely, close its cold water valve.
Don’t crawl into a wet, dark space under the house near electrical parts. Wait for us.
If you smell gas, turn off the supply if it’s safe, ventilate and move away.
Yes. Whether it needs a part or a whole new system, we do it on the same day. Call 0435 878 512 and our team will get your hot water running again today.
What size hot water system does a big family need?
It depends on the number of people, bathrooms and the system type. We look at how your household uses hot water and recommend a size to match.
Can you replace a tank that’s under the house?
Yes. We check access and the existing pipework first, so the new system can go in safely and be serviced later.
Should I test my relief valve?
Plumbers commonly advise easing the relief valve lever at regular intervals, as your system’s manual describes. If it won’t reseal or keeps running, call us.
