Hot Water Repairs in Footscray

What's usually behind it in Footscray

Space is tight in Footscray terraces, so we often fit compact continuous-flow units on an external wall to free up room inside.

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.

Many Footscray homes are workers' cottages and Victorian or Edwardian houses, often still on original clay sewers and galvanised water pipes.

FAQ

Hot Water in Footscray: 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 Footscray 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.
