We tell you straight whether your system is worth repairing or due for replacement, and give you a clear price before any work starts.

What customers say about us
“Sam was very helpful, professional, and easy to deal with. He fixed our gas heating system promptly and at a fair price. Great service from start to finish. Highly recommended!”
“I left a message and got a call 5 minutes later. Sam organised a time to come out, on a Sunday, arrived early, fixed the problem promptly and didn't charge the earth for a Sunday call out.”
“I contacted Sam late on Sunday night as my AC had stopped working and it was a 38 degree day. He came promptly the next morning at 8am and fixed the AC.”
Common questions
I have no hot water. What should I check first?
For a gas system, check the pilot light is on and the gas is turned on. For an electric system, check the switchboard for a tripped switch. If that does not fix it, call Sam. Do not try to repair a gas appliance yourself.
Should I repair or replace my hot water system?
A leaking tank usually means it is time to replace it. Many other faults, such as a pilot that will not stay lit or a failed thermostat or element, can be repaired. We will tell you which makes more sense.
How long do hot water systems last?
Storage tanks typically last around 8 to 12 years, depending on water quality and the type of system. If yours is getting old and playing up, it may be worth planning a replacement before it fails.
Are you licensed for gas hot water work?
Yes. Sam holds Victorian Building Authority licence 43391.
