What's usually behind it in Altona
We see a lot of 15 to 20 year old gas storage tanks in Altona reaching the end of their life, often with corroded relief valves.
No hot water usually means a failed thermostat, pilot, element or valve, and sometimes a tank that has reached the end of its life. We carry common parts in the van and stock popular replacement units so you're not waiting days. For Altona customers, that usually means same-day service.
Most Altona homes are post-war and 1970s brick veneer on decent-sized blocks, which means long sewer runs and plenty of tree roots.
When to call
- No hot water, or it runs out quickly
- Water that is lukewarm or too hot
- Water leaking from the base of the tank
- A pilot light that won't stay lit
- Rusty or discoloured hot water

Hot Water in Altona: common questions
Repair or replace?
If a unit is under about 8 to 10 years old and the tank isn't leaking, a repair is usually worth it. We'll tell you straight.
Can you replace my hot water today?
Often, yes. We keep common gas and electric units in stock for Altona jobs.
Which system is cheapest to run?
It depends on household size and your energy tariffs. Heat pumps and continuous flow are often cheaper to run than older storage tanks.
Do you take the old unit away?
Yes, removal and disposal of the old unit is included in replacement quotes.
