What do water heater repairs and installation services include?

Water heater services cover installation, repairs, and replacements to ensure that you're getting the most out of your equipment. Through our platform, you can find skilled and qualified technicians who can work on various water heater types and brands, and service its parts and accessories. Here's what you can expect:

Installing water heaters

A water heater is one of the most significant considerations when it comes to constructing or renovating bathrooms. Since it requires a lot of plumbing and electrical work, it's more efficient to leave the job to an expert. Water heater installers usually follow the installation process as written on the manufacturer's manual. They can help with:

  • basic soldering
  • connecting electrical wirings
  • fastening pipe assemblies and water lines
  • T&P (Temperature & Pressure) valves installation

For conventional water heaters, your installer can assist you in finding the ideal spot to place your tank. If needed, they can also inspect for leaks and set the controls of your newly installed water heater.

Repairing water heaters

At some point, your water heater will likely fade and deteriorate due to old age, overuse, or even mechanical failure. While it's inevitable, you can save more time and repair costs if you can have them checked as soon as you notice any signs of defect. Repair experts can lend a hand with minor or major hot water heater repair services so you can have your equipment running again. They can also help troubleshoot common water heater problems such as:

  • noisy tanks
  • leaks coming from the bottom
  • water taking too long to heat
  • no hot water dispensing from the faucet
  • immersion heater element replacements
  • Water heater replacements

Water heaters are made to last around 8 to 10 years, and longer if they're religiously maintained. But if they're no longer functioning like how they used to, then you may want to consider replacing them with newer models. Water heater specialists can take care of the entire replacement process. 

It typically involves draining the damaged or leaking tank, removing a T&P relief valve, cutting off water supply lines, and installing a water heater. You can hire them for same-day replacement and installation service, or any day to your best convenience.

Two Rheem 50L Water Heaters were fitted as part of a Home Reno (under Kitchen Cabinet).

Replace continuous gas rheem water heater 874M16NF igniter

$150

Surrey Hills VIC, Australia

21st Aug 2023

After 3 weeks without use my continuous gas water heater has stopped working. It sounds like the unit is attempting to start up and heat up the water with gas flowing but shuts off after a short amount of time probably due to safety mechanism. Suspected likely the igniter is faulty. I have had this issue before when the unit was not used for 3 months. But after a few days it seemed to “magically” fix itself. I should also note that the electrical outlet has been recently replaced and others have been used to test. Also gas is burning on the stove. Rheem model number 874M16NF 10.0L/min - Due date: Needs to be done on Tuesday, 22 August 2023
