Hot water systems, Hankook Plumbing Melbourne
01 The short version

What this
actually means.

A hot water unit usually gives you some warning before it dies, and most people miss it. Water that runs lukewarm, a unit that takes longer to recover, rusty water at the tap, damp around the base. Catch it there and you get to choose your replacement calmly. Miss it and you are choosing under a cold shower on a Sunday.

Either way the question is the same: repair or replace, and if replace, which unit. That depends on how many people are in the house, whether you have gas, what your roof and switchboard can take, and what you actually want to spend. I install Rheem, Rinnai, Dux, Bosch and Thermann, and I will walk you through the trade-offs rather than pointing you at whatever I have in the van.

03 Good questions

Questions I get
every week.

01 Repair or replace?
If the unit is under about ten years old and the fault is a part, repair usually makes sense. If the tank itself is leaking, or it is old and starting to need repeated repairs, you are better off putting the money into a replacement.
02 Which brands do you install?
Rheem, Rinnai, Dux, Bosch, Thermann. All major brands. I will recommend the right unit for your household size, energy setup and budget, and explain the trade-offs.
03 Can you replace it the same day?
Usually, provided the unit I need is in stock. I will tell you on the phone whether same-day is realistic for your setup before you commit to anything.

06 The other three
01 Emergency plumbing Burst pipes, gas leaks, flooding, anywhere across Melbourne's eastern and south-eastern suburbs. I pick up, I come out. Average arrival is under 60 minutes, and the person you speak to on the phone is the person under your sink an hour later. 02 Blocked drains Kitchen sinks to sewer mains, across Melbourne's eastern and south-eastern suburbs. High-pressure jetter and CCTV camera, so I'll show you what was actually blocking it rather than asking you to take my word for it. 04 Bathroom renovations Renovating a bathroom in Melbourne's south-east? I handle the plumbing side: roughing in, fit-out, waterproofing coordination. Work with your builder or straight with you, whichever suits the job.
