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.Â
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.

Adjust temperature on hot water heater

Travancore VIC 3032, Australia

I had my hot water heater replaced recently with this https://www.samedayhotwaterservice.com.au/product/rheem-stainless-steel-80-litre-hot-water-system/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17613708470&gclid=Cj0KCQjwyIPDBhDBARIsAHJyyVhhPaId09ffQ6ACr80L9LZZA9X07VymvcEmnsxiEFNso2Q7tQLXy9gaAkYDEALw_wcB and the tech installed it set to a fairly low temperature, which he said he was required to do. I have the manual and a little key thing that he left for me (pictured) but I can't for the life of me figure out how to adjust the temp, and the manual only says to get an electrician to do it. Just looking for someone who knows their way around a unit to bump it up for me! I work from home so during the day is best. Unit is easily accessible in a hall cupboard.
Thanks for the help, and spotting the leak issue.

Water temp is unpredictable, either too hot or too cold, tap adjustments unpredictable, temp changes without adjusting taps. Changing flow rate changes temp. E.g. won’t heat unless full blast. Can then choose either scalding or cold, but not in between.
