Plumber for Rheem Stellar Gas Water Heater – No Hot Water / Pilot Out

$100

Hawthorn East VIC 3123, Australia

21st Sep 2025

Hi, I need a plumber to help with my outdoor Rheem Stellar gas water heater. • Currently, no hot water in the house. • I checked the unit and found that the pilot light might has gone out. • I tried to relight it, but the piezo igniter seems to be faulty (no “click” sound, no spark). What I need: • A plumber to come and check the system. • If it’s just the pilot light issue, please help relight it safely. • If the igniter is broken, I’d like it replaced with a new one so it works properly.

Guy was fantastic! He got my hot water working quickly and did a really great job. Super honest and trustworthy – I set a $200 budget but he told me it wasn’t necessary and only charged $80. Amazing service, highly recommended!

Hot water heater keeps turning off

$120

Chadstone VIC 3148, Australia

19th Sep 2025

My hot water system (Aquamax 390) keeps turning off. I think the pilot flame works fine when I start it. After sometime(could be hours or days), the pilot light is off. It seems when the main flame switches off, the pilot flame too switches off. Need this to be fixed by a licensed & insured plumber and the heater to be continuously working fine.

Ashburton VIC 3147, Australia

Adjust temperature on hot water heater

$50

Travancore VIC 3032, Australia

20th Aug 2025

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.
