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.

We have an Aquamax G205N hotwater service. We have it cranked to 5 but our water is not very hot. The thermostat click cannot be heard when I rotate the dial to 0 then back to 5. The pilot is on. I can supply the valve and thermocouple if needed but I would like to communicate first. Ideally done over the weekend or Monday but this will depend on the tasker's availability and the delivery of the valve. - Due date: Flexible

Replace AquaMax Hotwater heater gas control valve.

$90

Carnegie VIC, Australia

6th Jan 2022

Replace Gas Hotwater control valve in Aquamax G205 With Control setting '5' on the main rotary control knob I do the following: 1 Turn the pilot light off (small vertical rotary knob) 2 Wait a little while 3 Turn the pilot light to it's 'ignite' position 4 Keeping the pilot light top knob pressed I push the piezo sparker 5 The pilot light ignites 6 I turn this same vertical knob to the next position which should ignite the main burner. 7 Nothing happens. 8 The internal click which I would normally hear inside this control valve and then the sound of gas rushing out of the main burner just prior to ignition is absent. 9 So, I am assuming the Gas Control valve has failed? In summary, the pilot light lights correctly but the main gas burner won't ignite. If I give valve a wack it activates! My pricing excludes parts - Due date: Before Monday, 10th Jan 2022

Daniel's service was excellent. Some delays due to personal matters but Daniel kept us completely informed and gave us the option of cancelling. We stuck with him and glad we did. The replacement valve work will give us many welcome hot showers.
