Hot Water Installation in Alexandra Hills

Choosing a system for a Redlands home

There’s no single best hot water system — it depends on how your household uses water and what’s already on the roof and in the street. Got rooftop solar PV? A heat pump or a timer-controlled electric tank can run on your own daytime power, and our humid Bayside summers suit heat pumps nicely. Electric tanks can also sit on an Energex economy tariff such as Tariff 31 or 33. Families juggling back-to-back showers in a newer Redland Bay or Victoria Point estate often lean towards gas continuous flow, on LPG bottles or mains gas where the street has it. Solar thermal still makes sense on a sunny north-facing roof, and heat pump and solar installs may be eligible for federal STCs that trim the upfront price. We supply and fit Thermann, Vulcan, Rheem, the premium Rheem Stellar range and Everhot.

Sizing for acreage, big families and new builds

Getting the capacity right matters more than the badge on the front. On acreage in Sheldon, Mount Cotton and Chandler, households tend to be bigger, the run from the unit to the far bathroom is longer, and some homes draw from rainwater tanks — we factor all of that in before recommending a size. On a new build or reno, we can work alongside your builder so the connections are roughed in where they need to be and the unit ends up somewhere easy to service. Near the water in Ormiston or Wellington Point, we also think about placement so the unit cops less of the salty sea breeze.

What a new installation costs

Supply and install starts from $2,365 for Thermann and Vulcan and from $2,420 for Rheem, with Rheem Stellar from $2,830.30. Where your job lands depends on the system type and size, how easy the site is to work on, and whether gas, electrical or valve upgrades are required under current standards.
