Replace Your Old Hot Water System Before It Fails At The Worst Possible Time

If your current hot water system is old, expensive to run, leaking, unreliable, or already showing signs of failure, replacing it before it dies completely usually saves you money, stress, and emergency call-out headaches.

We replace electric, gas, solar, and older heat pump systems with a high-efficiency heat pump hot water system for a fixed $3,600 installed on standard jobs, with government rebates already applied.

Why Replace Instead Of Waiting?

  • old systems usually fail when you need them most
  • emergency replacement gives you less time to compare options properly
  • an inefficient tank can burn hundreds of dollars a year before it finally dies
  • rebates are getting smaller over time, so waiting costs you twice

What We Replace

  • Electric storage hot water systems
  • Gas storage systems
  • Gas continuous flow systems
  • Solar hot water systems
  • Older heat pump hot water systems

What Happens During A Replacement

  1. We confirm your current setup and whether the install is standard
  2. We isolate and remove the old system
  3. We install the new heat pump hot water system in the same or best practical position
  4. We connect plumbing and electrical, commission the system, and test everything
  5. We remove the old unit and handle the rebate paperwork

Is It Worth Replacing A System That Still Works?

Often, yes. If your current system is older, costly to run, or likely to fail soon, proactive replacement can be the smarter move. Many homeowners would rather lock in the rebate and stop overpaying on power bills than wait for a total breakdown.

Why Many Gold Coast Homeowners Replace Before Failure

The households that get the smoothest outcome are usually the ones who move before the old system completely gives up. They still have enough time to compare options, confirm whether the job looks standard, and book the replacement on their terms instead of under emergency pressure.

If you are replacing an ageing electric storage tank, the decision is often less about whether the old system technically still works and more about how much it is costing you to keep it.

Why Not Just Wait?

  • because older systems rarely fail at a convenient time
  • because waiting can mean higher running costs now and a smaller rebate later
  • because panic-buying under emergency pressure usually leads to worse decisions
  • because proactive replacement gives you more control over cost, timing, and system choice

Questions To Ask Before Replacing Any Hot Water System

  • What is the real installed price after rebates?
  • Is old system removal included?
  • Are plumbing and electrical included?
  • What workmanship warranty is provided?
  • How long will we be without hot water?
  • Who handles the rebate paperwork?

Standard vs Non-Standard Replacement

Most replacements are standard. Additional costs usually only arise if the job needs a switchboard upgrade, major relocation, difficult access, crane work, or asbestos handling. If any of those apply, we tell you up front.

Still On The Fence?

Let's Address That.

Can you replace any type of hot water system with a heat pump?
Yes. We replace electric storage, gas storage, gas continuous flow, solar, and older heat pump systems. The most common switch is from electric storage — these homes see the biggest energy savings.
What happens to my old hot water system?
We remove it and dispose of it responsibly. Removal and disposal are included in the $3,600 price. You don't need to arrange anything separately.
How long will I be without hot water during the swap?
For a standard replacement, hot water is off for 3–5 hours during installation. We complete the swap in a single visit. If you need to time it around your schedule, we'll work with you.
Is a heat pump hot water system worth it if my current system still works?
Often yes — especially if your current system is electric storage. The running cost difference is $300–$500 per year. If your current system is older than 8 years, proactive replacement avoids emergency situations and locks in today's higher rebate value (rebates decrease annually until 2030).
Do I need council approval to replace my hot water system?
No council approval is needed for a like-for-like replacement in the same location. If the new system is in a different position, setback rules may apply for noise — we check this during the assessment.
