Hot Water Heater System

$300

Melbourne CBD VIC 3000, Australia

15th May 2026

I’m having an issue with the electric hot water system in my apartment (Stiebel Eltron DEL18AU). The shower and all taps are only producing cold water. I’ve tried troubleshooting it several times by turning off the MCB and then resetting the heater. It worked again about two weeks ago, but now it’s gone back to cold water only, and this time I can’t get it to heat up at all. The display still shows 50 (Celcius; max temp), but no hot water coming out.

Licensed Electrician Needed

$500

Melbourne CBD VIC 3000, Australia

23rd Mar 2026

Need a licensed electrician to inspect my 2-bedroom apartment living area and confirm whether it is possible to create/provide an electrical point for installing a chandelier. If feasible, I would like: • 1 chandelier installed (see attached picture) • 4 wall lights replaced and installed and also install a Kitchen Chimney and remove old ones. Property is on the 24th floor, directly opposite Southern Cross Station. I would prefer an inspection first before proceeding with the full installation. Please quote separately for: • inspection/feasibility check (ideally NO CALL OUT FEE is desirable) • installation work if feasible

Couldn’t be happier with the job. He installed a chandelier, 4 lights, 2 panel heaters, and also changed a few globes and switches for me. The work was done professionally, efficiently, and to a very high standard. Everything was completed neatly and properly, and the overall experience was smooth and stress-free. I would happily give 5 stars and highly recommend him for any electrical work.
