Replace your hot water — matched with a trusted local installer

Most like-for-like replacements take 2–4 hours. Switching fuel type (e.g. electric to heat pump) adds 1–3 hours for new connections and compliance work.

Electric storage from $1,200 installed. Gas storage from $1,800. Heat pump from $2,800 after rebates. Solar from $3,500 after rebates. Final price depends on size, brand and install location.

Yes. Heat pump and solar systems qualify for federal STC rebates plus state-based rebates (VEU in Victoria, ESS in NSW, REPS in SA). Combined savings often exceed $1,000.

Heat pump is cheapest to run (3–4× the efficiency of electric). Gas is mid-range. Old electric storage is the most expensive. Heat pump pays back the higher upfront cost within 3–5 years for most households.

Both — plus a gasfitter if you have gas. A like-for-like electric replacement needs a licensed electrician. Heat pump and solar need plumber + electrician. All work must be compliance-certified.

Rough guide: 1–2 people = 125–160L electric or 170L heat pump. 3–4 people = 250–315L electric or 270L heat pump. 5+ people = 315L+ or twin systems. Gas instantaneous sizes by litres/min, not tank size.

For emergency replacements (no hot water, leaking tank, gas leak), most installers can be on-site same day or next morning. Standard replacements are usually scheduled within 48 hours.
