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.

Repair Bosch gas water heater (Highflow YS2433R)

$300

South Melbourne VIC, Australia

21st Sep 2022

Our old Bosch gas water heater died recently, flashing code "14" on the controller; there has been no hot water since then. The unit is the Highflow YS2433R, installed before we bought this house, and has been fantastic for the past 20 years. The controller is YPRM34XB. Three photos are attached: the unit face on, the underside showing the pipe work, and the controller inside the house. Although we have commenced the process of having a new water heater installed, that will take time, so we would love to have the old one repaired ASAP if at all possible. The price offered is for actually FIXING the gas heater - i.e. if you can't fix it, then there would be no charge. To take on this job, you MUST be fully licenced for the repair & installation of gas devices and have all required insurances, etc. - Due date: Before Friday, 23 September 2022
