What do water heater repairs and installation services include?
Water heater services cover installation, repairs, and replacements to ensure that you're getting the most out of your equipment. Through our platform, you can find skilled and qualified technicians who can work on various water heater types and brands, and service its parts and accessories. Here's what you can expect:
Installing water heaters
A water heater is one of the most significant considerations when it comes to constructing or renovating bathrooms. Since it requires a lot of plumbing and electrical work, it's more efficient to leave the job to an expert. Water heater installers usually follow the installation process as written on the manufacturer's manual. They can help with:
- basic soldering
- connecting electrical wirings
- fastening pipe assemblies and water lines
- T&P (Temperature & Pressure) valves installation
For conventional water heaters, your installer can assist you in finding the ideal spot to place your tank. If needed, they can also inspect for leaks and set the controls of your newly installed water heater.
Repairing water heaters
At some point, your water heater will likely fade and deteriorate due to old age, overuse, or even mechanical failure. While it's inevitable, you can save more time and repair costs if you can have them checked as soon as you notice any signs of defect. Repair experts can lend a hand with minor or major hot water heater repair services so you can have your equipment running again. They can also help troubleshoot common water heater problems such as:
- noisy tanks
- leaks coming from the bottom
- water taking too long to heat
- no hot water dispensing from the faucet
- immersion heater element replacements
- Water heater replacements
Water heaters are made to last around 8 to 10 years, and longer if they're religiously maintained. But if they're no longer functioning like how they used to, then you may want to consider replacing them with newer models. Water heater specialists can take care of the entire replacement process.
It typically involves draining the damaged or leaking tank, removing a T&P relief valve, cutting off water supply lines, and installing a water heater. You can hire them for same-day replacement and installation service, or any day to your best convenience.

Canterbury VIC, Australia

Remove and dispose of the existing Rheem Stellar gas storage hot water system. Replaced with a Rheem 26L Gas Continuous flow water heater: 50c model The gas connection will need to be increased from the meter from Rp ½ to Rp ¾ The new system is to be located in the same position as the existing, resulting in minimal pipe work aside from lifting the gas / water pipe work by approximately 1.6m The gas pipe from the meter will need to be changed from ½ to ¾ diameter over a length of 5 meters. The photo shows that the surface to be opened is soil and stones. There are no obstructions making it easy to replace the existing Rp ½ gas pipe.

Two Rheem 50L Water Heaters were fitted as part of a Home Reno (under Kitchen Cabinet). (with tempering valves, PRVs, mildred etc) Some of the flared fitting have started leaking (at flare joint connections) and the original plumber isn't responding. I don't trust the workmanship and would like the flared fittings replaced (i.e. new copper). There is no Kitchen bench top providing access from both top and side. Licensed Plumbers only.
