  • Old unit decommissioning

FAQ

Common questions about hot water systems in Ballarat.

Like-for-like replacement: $1,800–$3,500 fitted including disposal. Upgrade to continuous-flow gas: $2,500–$4,000. Heat pump: $4,000–$6,000 (you may qualify for VEU rebates — we factor those in).
Most cases yes. We carry Rheem, Rinnai and Vulcan replacements on the truck for the most common sizes. Less common sizes we collect from the supplier same morning.
Rule of thumb: if the unit is under 8 years and the repair is under 30% of replacement cost, repair. If it's over 12 years or the tank itself is leaking, replace. We'll tell you straight.
Yes — the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program offers rebates for upgrading from gas storage to heat pump or solar. Rebates range from $500 to $2,800 depending on the unit.
Whatever you want. Rheem, Rinnai, Bosch, Vulcan, Aquamax, Dux, Sanden — we fit them all. We'll give an honest take on each but the choice is yours.
