Our Hot Water Services
Electric Hot Water System
About half of Australian households still run on electric hot water systems — and for good reason. If natural gas is unavailable at your property, electric remains the most practical and cost-effective choice. Modern systems feature quick-recovery design for sustained heavy usage, and compact continuous flow options that install internally without a flue.
Our plumbers assess your household's usage, size requirements, and budget before recommending the right system. Whether it's a reliable electric storage tank or a continuous flow unit that never runs dry, we supply, install, and commission to the highest standard — 24 hours a day at the same flat rate.

Gas Hot Water System
With electricity costs continuing to rise, more Australian households are switching to gas hot water. Continuous flow gas systems sit at the forefront of the technology — compact, efficient, and achieving a 6-star energy rating by heating water only on demand so you never run out and never pay to keep a tank warm.
Plumb Medic specialises in the maintenance, repair, and installation of all makes and models — from sleek continuous flow units to larger gas storage tanks. We carry the most common units on our vehicles and can often complete a same-day installation tailored perfectly to your home.

When your hot water stops, you need it fixed fast. Our licensed plumbers are available around the clock and carry spare parts for over 95% of major makes and models — meaning most repairs are completed on the first visit. We diagnose and isolate the fault within 15 minutes of arrival.
Unlike companies that send apprentices to your door, every Plumb Medic plumber is fully licensed. We service all electric, gas, heat pump, and solar hot water systems, 24/7 — at the same flat rate whether your system fails at noon or 3am.

Hot Water Replacement
Hot water heaters have a lifespan of around 10–15 years. Key signs it's time for a replacement include leaks from the tank body, rusty or discoloured water, no hot water despite working components, and systems approaching the end of their service life. Waiting too long risks a flood and costly water damage to your property.
Plumb Medic handles the complete replacement — sourcing and supplying the right new system, and safely removing and disposing of your old unit. Same-day installation is available in most cases. Ask about our up to $500 cashback when you trade in your old hot water system.

Heat Pump Hot Water Replacement
Heat pump hot water systems are one of the most energy-efficient solutions available, capable of cutting your annual hot water bills by up to 70% compared to a standard electric system. Using the same technology as a reverse-cycle air conditioner, they extract heat from the surrounding air — requiring far less electricity to achieve the same result.
Plumb Medic installs and commissions all leading heat pump brands across Melbourne. Whether you're upgrading from an ageing electric system or looking to reduce your carbon footprint, we assess your household's specific needs and recommend the right capacity unit for maximum performance and longevity.

Solar Hot Water Replacement
A solar hot water system uses roof-mounted collectors to harness the sun's energy and transfer it to a storage tank. When equipped with a gas or electric booster, solar systems can supply up to 90% of your annual hot water needs for free — dramatically reducing energy bills and your household's carbon emissions.
For best performance, a solar system needs to be correctly sized for your roof orientation and household usage. Plumb Medic recommends systems with a booster element to guarantee a consistent supply on overcast days. All installations are completed by licensed plumbers to Australian standards.

Gas Boosted Solar System
A gas boosted solar system combines roof-mounted solar collectors with an integrated gas booster, ensuring you always have hot water regardless of season or weather. The solar component handles the majority of heating on sunny days, while the gas booster activates automatically when solar input falls short.
This hybrid approach delivers outstanding long-term savings — using free solar energy most of the time, with gas as a reliable efficient backup. Plumb Medic specialises in the installation and replacement of all solar-gas combination systems and can advise on applicable government rebates.
