Why upgrade your hot water system?
When a hot water system starts to fail you can end up with cold showers, rusty water, leaks and high power or gas bills. Older units are often less efficient and more likely to burst, which can cause water damage and emergency call outs.
Upgrading to a modern gas or electric hot water system gives you more reliable hot water, better efficiency and the right size unit for your family.
- Reliable hot water for showers, kitchens and laundry
- Better energy efficiency compared to many old systems
- Correct sizing for your home and number of occupants
- Reduced risk of leaks, bursts and emergency failures
- Option to plan ahead instead of waiting for the system to die

Deegan did an outstanding job disconnecting our old heater. He was not only incredibly efficient but also very friendly and professional throughout the entire process. His expertise was evident from start to finish, and we couldn’t be more pleased with his work. Highly recommend Deegan for anyone in need of exceptional service!

The whole experience was fantastic, with a great team of people arriving, on time, to complete a long list of items around my home. Everyone was polite & ensured that things were as I wanted, with ongoing confirmation regarding anything that needed clarification. Everything was left clean & tidy, with new appliances all checked & demonstrated.
I highly recommend using Elite Trades Australia & will happily engage them if I have future requirements.

Did great job installing, took away old heater and cleaned all rubbish away. Gave me detailed information about operation of the system. All was done quickly with smiles and everything is working well.

Alex and Arian replaced my old heat pump with a new system in less than two hours while the wind speed was 70km/h and they didn’t complain. They took all the rubbish. The job was completed with a neat and clean finish. They were very professional and well mannered and I was asked how I preferred the wiring to be, they even drained the old system’s water outside the property. they didn’t mess up my property they used the old screw holes and couldn’t tell that the system was replaced that’s how good the final result was. I am very happy and will use them again.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my hot water system needs replacing?
- Signs include rusty or discoloured water, rumbling noises from the tank, frequent pilot light failures, leaks around the base and systems that are more than ten to twelve years old. If you are experiencing any of these, it is worth having the system checked and planning a replacement.
Should I choose gas or electric hot water?
- Gas can be a good option where gas is already connected and usage is consistent. Modern electric systems and heat pumps can also be efficient, especially when paired with off peak tariffs or solar. We will look at your home, tariffs and usage and explain the pros and cons for your situation.
Can you replace my hot water system in one day?
-
In many cases yes. For standard like for like replacements we can usually complete the changeover in a single visit, subject to access and stock availability. More complex relocations or changeovers to a different type of system may take longer.
What size hot water system do I need?
- The right size depends on how many people live in the home, how many bathrooms you have and when hot water is used. We will ask a few questions and then recommend a system that can handle your peak demand without wasting energy.
What happens during a hot water installation?
- We start by isolating water, power and gas to the existing system. We then disconnect and remove the old unit, prepare the base and pipework, install the new system, connect gas or power, fit required valves and tempering, then fill, test and commission the unit. Once everything is running, we explain how to use the system and provide any relevant paperwork.
