Hot Water Repairs, Replacement and Installation

The problem, in plain English

Hot water systems fail at the worst possible time. One morning the shower runs cold, the tank starts leaking, or the pilot will not stay lit. It is stressful, and you need it fixed properly, not patched.

The other trap is being sold the wrong system. A tank that is too small runs out halfway through the second shower. A unit that is too big costs more to run than it needs to. Getting the sizing right matters.

How DK Plumbing fixes it

We repair, replace and install every major brand of hot water system across the Redlands and Brisbane bayside. Rheem, Rinnai, Dux, Vulcan, Aquamax, Bosch and more.

If your existing unit can be saved, we tell you. If replacement is the smarter call, we quote you upfront on the right size and fuel type, then install it the same day where stock allows.

You can supply your own unit and we install it, or we can supply and install with our trade pricing passed on. Either way, licensed plumbers and gas fitters do the work.

What size hot water system does a family of 4 need?

As a starting point, for continuous electric look at 125 to 160 litres. For off peak electric, 250 to 315 litres. For gas storage, 135 to 170 litres. For instantaneous gas, a 25 to 32 litre per minute unit. We confirm the right sizing after checking your actual usage, number of bathrooms and fuel connection.

Gas, electric or instantaneous?

Instantaneous gas is popular for homes that want endless hot water and less floor space used up. Gas storage suits larger households on natural gas. Electric off peak still stacks up when you already have the connection and cheap overnight rates. We help you pick based on your home, not a preset script.
