What do hot water system installation services include?

Hot water system installation services include all the activities necessary to put a reliable, safe hot water system in your home. This involves installing an unvented hot water system, inspecting the installation area, preparing materials, installing the cylinder or tank, then making the needed connections. After the installation, your plumber can test the system for flaws and address them as needed.

Inspecting installation area

Your water heater installation begins with a thorough inspection of the spot that will house the tank and its components. Your plumber makes sure that the floor is robust enough to support the cylinder's weight and complies with established building codes and safety rules and regulations. If the allotted space is deemed insufficient for the cylinder, your plumber can help you look for an alternative spot for the unvented cylinder service. 

Preparing for installation 

Your plumber makes the necessary preparations for the hot water cylinder installation. If necessary, some plumbers may offer to make an improvised platform of sturdy materials to support the tank's weight. Otherwise, you can hire a Tasker to handle all your carpentry needs.

When appropriate, your hired plumber shuts off the power, gas, and water supply before starting the job. They can take all the necessary measurements to determine the right amount of materials, then cuts and bends wires and pipes to the appropriate lengths and widths. Your plumber may also cut holes into walls or floors as needed to allow pipes or wires to run through.

Installing the cylinder

Once the cylinder's space is ready, your plumber can proceed with the unvented hot water cylinder installation. They can place the cylinder or tank onto its designated space and position. Your plumber takes care not to damage any of the components of the vented hot water cylinder or other pipes and wires in its surroundings.

Installing components and pipes

After the cylinder is in position, your specialist proceeds with attaching the appropriate pipes, wires and components like the Temperature and Pressure Release valve, expansion vessel, immersion heater, and any other pipes and valves. As with all other stages of the unvented cylinder installation, they use appropriate materials and techniques that are compliant with state safety and building regulations and industry best practices. 

Testing the system

Your hired plumber tests the system after completing the installation. They check that each tap and shower head provides hot water on demand and flows with consistent pressure. Should variations in temperature or pressure arise, your plumber can troubleshoot the system and do the appropriate fixes. 

They repeat this process until the hot water system works without any issues. And now that your home has hot water running through your taps, tubs, and showers, why not ensure greater warmth and comfort in every room of your home? On Airtasker, you can also hire an insulation installer who can help you cut down on bills and achieve year-round comfort.

Looking for a plumber or handyman to fix a leaking hot water tap.

$150

Surfers Paradise QLD, Australia

12th Apr 2025

The laundry tap setup. The hot water tap (on the right in the photo) is leaking from around the base of its handle/screw cap. Even when turned off tightly, a slow drip of water continues to come out. This suggests the internal washer or valve isn’t sealing completely. Additionally, water is seeping from the screw cap area, indicating that part of the tap assembly may need new sealing or tightening. Hot water tap handle area (needs replacement). The handle of the hot water tap is in poor condition (loose or broken), which is why it needs replacing. A new handle matching standard laundry taps should be supplied and fitted. Replacing the handle will ensure the tap can be turned on/off if needed in the future and will provide a better seal when turned off. A proper handle will also make it easier to operate the tap and ensure a tight shutoff once the internal issue is fixed. Task Requirements • Fix the Leak: Repair the tap assembly so that no water leaks out. This may involve replacing the internal washer/O-ring or fully capping the line to stop water flow. • New Tap Handle: Supply and install a new hot water tap handle (standard size) to replace the old one. The handle should fit the existing tap valve and allow the tap to be turned completely off. Additional Information • Location: Surfers Paradise, QLD. Please only offer if you can travel to this area. • Scheduling: must be done on the afternoon of Sunday 13 April. • Preparation: Please bring any necessary tools and parts (new tap handle, cap/stopper for the hot water line, washers, plumbing tape, etc.) to complete the job. • Experience: This is a straightforward fix for someone with plumbing experience.

No hot water in shower tap

Quakers Hill NSW 2763, Australia

There's no hot water in one of our shower taps. But this is not always the case, every once in a while - it magically starts working again. We can't figure out what it is. This is only a problem for this shower. Hot water works fine everywhere else in the house, including the sink in the same bathroom. This needs fixing.

Great bloke, on time, good communication, efficient.
