Gas Hot Water Systems

Gas systems are popular across Perth for their fast recovery and lower running costs compared to electric. Available in storage and continuous flow formats, they’re best suited to homes connected to mains gas.

We supply, install and service gas hot water systems from Rinnai and Rheem across Perth and Mandurah. Our team are licensed gas fitters — Licence GF011765.

Solar Hot Water Systems

Solar systems have the lowest running costs of any option and are ideal for Perth’s climate. Units start from around $2,000 before installation.

WA homeowners may be eligible for Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) that reduce your upfront cost by hundreds of dollars. We are certified to help you access these rebates — ask us when you call.

Heat Pump Hot Water Systems

Heat pumps extract warmth from surrounding air to heat water, making them one of the most energy-efficient options available — using up to 70% less electricity than a standard electric system.

Units range from $2,500 to $4,000 before installation. Government rebates are available in WA. We’ll help you determine eligibility and factor that into your quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about hot water system installation, pricing and service across Perth, Rockingham and Mandurah.

Fully installed prices typically range from $690 to $950 for electric, $950 to $1,400 for gas (storage or continuous flow), and $2,400 to $4,500 for solar or heat pump after applicable rebates. Final pricing depends on your existing setup. We provide upfront fixed quotes before any work begins. Call 0439 922 548 or request a quote online.
Heat pump systems are the most energy-efficient choice for most Perth homes, using up to 70% less electricity than a standard electric unit. Solar hot water with a gas or electric booster has the lowest annual running costs overall but requires a higher upfront investment. Given Perth’s climate and rising energy costs, both options deliver strong long-term savings. We can help you compare costs for your specific household with no obligation.
Gas continuous flow (instantaneous) systems are the most popular choice in Perth homes connected to mains gas, due to fast delivery and lower running costs than electric storage. In newer estates to the south, such as Baldivis, Meadow Springs and Lakelands, where mains gas is not always available, electric storage systems are the most common option.
For a storage system, a 250 to 315 litre tank suits most families of four. As a general guide, allow around 50 litres per person per day and size the tank to 1.5 days of usage. For a continuous flow gas system, flow rate matters more than tank size: a unit rated at 20 to 26 litres per minute comfortably handles simultaneous outlets. Not sure what suits your home? Call us and we will recommend based on your household.
Yes. Solar and heat pump systems may qualify for Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), a federal scheme that reduces your upfront cost by hundreds to over $1,000 depending on the system. Some systems may also qualify under Synergy or Horizon Power rebate programmes. We confirm your eligibility and factor rebates into every quote automatically.
Yes. Removal and disposal of your existing unit is included in every installation. You do not need to arrange anything separately. Your quote covers supply, removal, full installation and a final inspection.
In most cases we can install within 1 to 2 business days. If you have no hot water right now, call us directly on 0439 922 548 so we can prioritise your job and check current availability.
Storage systems heat and hold water in a tank ready for use. Reliable, simple and lower upfront cost. Instantaneous (continuous flow) systems heat water on demand as you turn on the tap. No tank, no standby heat loss and unlimited hot water, but a higher upfront cost. Both types come in gas and electric formats and we install all of them across Perth, Rockingham and Mandurah.
Most electric and gas storage systems last 10 to 15 years with normal use. Continuous flow gas units can last up to 20 years with periodic servicing. Heat pump and solar systems typically have similar lifespans of 10 to 15 years. If your system is approaching 10 years and showing signs of trouble, such as inconsistent temperature, leaking or discoloured water, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repair. Visit our hot water repairs page if you are unsure whether to repair or replace.
Yes, this is our home territory. We are based in the Rockingham to Mandurah corridor and service both areas daily, along with Baldivis, Kwinana, Port Kennedy, Meadow Springs, Lakelands, Halls Head and surrounding suburbs. Most jobs in this area are booked within 1 to 2 business days. Call 0439 922 548 to check availability.

I needed someone to come and put in a "renters" air con, even though not technically in his wheelhouse, I needed a handyman and Joel was the MAN!
