Same-Day Hot Water Service for Windsor Owners and Tenants
Whether you own, rent or manage the property, Lewis and the team get Windsor homes their hot water back on the same day, with a repair or a new system. See our hot water repairs and replacements page.
Electric Storage
Leaks, failed elements and thermostats, and faulty valves on electric tanks, including the Rheem systems we often work on.
Gas & Continuous Flow
Gas storage tanks and continuous-flow units such as Rinnai that won’t ignite or won’t stay hot. See our gas plumber page.
Heat Pump
Heat pump water not reaching temperature? We test the unit and connections, then tell you whether to repair or replace.
Solar
Solar system not delivering? We check the tank, valves and booster.

Signs Your Hot Water System Needs Repair
Call us if you’re seeing any of these:
No hot water, or water that never gets beyond warm
The hot water running out early
A wet patch, drips or rust under the tank
Water flowing from the relief valve
A gas pilot light that goes out again and again
Hot water that comes out rusty or brown
Unusual rumbling or hissing
In a rental, report it to your property manager straight away. A small leak or a dripping valve can get worse quickly.
We diagnose the system first, then give you or your property manager our honest advice and an upfront price for each option.
Go for a repair when
Only one part has failed, such as an element, thermostat, valve or ignition part
The tank is in good condition
Go for a replacement when
The tank is leaking or rusting
Breakdowns keep happening or the system no longer suits the home
Same-Day Hot Water System Replacement
If a system can’t be repaired, we replace it on the same day, so owners and tenants aren’t left without hot water.
In a unit, the new system needs to fit the existing cupboard or wall space. In a Queenslander, the tank may be under the house. We check the location first. We often recommend Rheem, but we choose what suits the property.

Windsor Hot Water: Rentals, Units and Old Queenslanders
More than half rent. In the 2021 Census, 54.8% of Windsor households were renting. We work with property managers and landlords, arrange access with tenants and send the price for approval before we start.
Houses and units, almost evenly split. About 49% of Windsor’s occupied dwellings were separate houses and 45% were flats or apartments. In a unit, the system is often in a cupboard, laundry or balcony, where space limits what will fit.
Old Queenslanders and heritage homes. Windsor has many old Queenslanders, and Eildon Hill and other elevated spots have several heritage-listed houses. In older homes, we check the valves and pipework as well as the tank.
How We Handle Your Hot Water Call
1. Find the Fault
We test the system and check the supply, valves and connections.
2. Approve the Price
You, or your property manager, get an upfront price. No work starts until it’s approved.
3. Fix and Test
We repair or replace the system, test the hot water and check for leaks.
No Hot Water? While You Wait
If the tank is leaking, turn off its cold water valve if it’s safe to do so.
Tenants: let your property manager know, and tell them our team can attend.
If you smell gas, turn off the supply if it’s safe, ventilate the area and move away.
Yes, on the same day, whether it needs a repair or a new system. Call 0435 878 512 and we’ll sort it out today.
I manage a Windsor rental. How does it work?
We arrange access with the tenant, find the fault and send you an upfront price. Work starts once you approve it.
Does a replacement need a tempering valve?
Yes, a tempering valve or another type of temperature control device. In Queensland, all new and replacement hot water systems need one so hot water reaches the taps at no more than 50°C.
My gas pilot light keeps going out. What causes it?
Often the ignition or flame-sensing parts, the burner or the gas supply. We test it properly to find the cause.
