Hot Water in Wangi Wangi
Hot Water Installation Wangi Wangi
A new hot water system is one of those jobs you only want to do once, and doing it once means matching the unit to the house, the water and the position.
We install tanks, continuous flow, solar and heat pump systems across Wangi Wangi and nearby Arcadia Vale, with the price agreed before a tool comes out.
What a proper hot water installation covers
There's more to this job than lifting a new tank onto an old footprint. Here's what sits inside it:
Tank systems sized to the household
A storage tank still suits bigger households running baths, multiple showers and a laundry on the same mornings. We size the tank to actual usage rather than the old unit's label.
Continuous flow for cottages and units
Continuous flow units heat water as it passes through, so there's no tank to run out of. They suit the smaller homes and tight wall spaces common around the peninsula.
Gas or electric: what the connection allows
The existing connection often decides this before preference does. A compliant gas run makes gas worth a look; otherwise we quote both, running costs included, and let you pick.
Solar and heat pump options
Census snapshots record 566 solar and 390 heat pump installs here, and the mild lakeside climate helps either. We'll say plainly when the payback stacks up, and when it doesn't.
Hot water for the housing we actually work on
Much of the housing here began as holiday cottages for coalfields families, and a 1950s fibro place needs a different plan from a newer waterfront unit.
Original cottages.
Brick-veneer family homes.
Waterfront units along the foreshore.
Winter matters too. The older cottages lean on reverse-cycle heating through the cooler months, and an undersized unit shows its limits right when household demand is heaviest.

Hot water installation questions from locals
How long does a hot water installation take?
Most like-for-like swaps are done and tested within a working day. If the position moves, the fuel type changes or aged pipework needs updating, you hear that at the quote stage.
Can you install a system in an older fibro or weatherboard cottage?
Yes, plenty of our installs land in exactly that housing. Walls get checked first, and anything worth renewing in the pipework gets priced into the job before we start.
Should I go gas or electric for a new hot water system?
It comes down to what the house already has and what your household uses. We quote both with running costs included, and the decision stays yours without a sales pitch.
Do hot water systems wear out faster near the lake?
They can. Brackish air off the lake eats external fittings and tank shells years ahead of anything inland, so position and corrosion resistance get built into every recommendation here.
Do you take the old tank away when you install a new one?
Yes, removal and disposal of the old unit is part of every install. You're not left with a rusting tank on the lawn or a tip run to plan around.
How much does a new hot water system cost?
It depends on the system, the access and the state of the connections, which is why every job gets quoted up front. You get the full figure in writing before anything starts.
Sort your new hot water system
Call (02) 4063 3438 and tell us what's happening. $0 call out across Wangi Wangi, a clear quote before any work starts, and a job that gets made right if it isn't right the first time.
If your existing unit has quit rather than planning an upgrade, hot water repair handles the urgent calls, and hot water replacement covers tanks that are past repair. The hot water hub pulls all three together, and gas connections for a new gas system sit under gas fitting.
