Whether your system has completely stopped working, is leaking, or simply can’t keep up with your household demand, our experienced team is ready to help!
Having hot water is everything when it comes to maintaining a comfortable, functional home. It is essential for more than just a warm shower. Hot water is essential for hygiene, as it effectively kills bacteria during bathing and helps break down grease and food waste when washing dishes. When your hot water system fails, the impact is immediate and stressful.
Beyond the discomfort of icy water, a malfunctioning unit can lead to serious health risks if the temperature drops enough to allow bacteria growth, or it can cause significant property damage if the tank begins to leak. Additionally, a struggling heater often consumes much more energy, leading to a sudden spike in your utility bills. Acting early at the first sign of a lukewarm tap or a strange noise can save you from an expensive emergency replacement and keep your household running smoothly.
At My Plumbing Services, we bring over 25 years of hands-on plumbing expertise, specialising in hot water installation, repair, and ongoing maintenance. We can fix a malfunctioning heater, a persistent leak, or, if you want to upgrade your unit to a more energy-efficient system, we’ve got you covered.
We provide a full range of hot water services for both residential and commercial clients, handling everything from small repairs to complete system replacements. Our team works with all types of systems, including:
Every job is handled by licensed and qualified technicians who follow strict Australian standards. Our customer-first approach means we don’t just fix the issue. We provide solutions that last.

Whether you're replacing a failed system or upgrading to something more energy-efficient, we supply and install all hot water system types across Melbourne.
Homes with existing gas connections, medium to large households, and those wanting a proven, straightforward system. Storage volumes range from 125L (1–2 people) to 315L+ (large families). We install leading brands including Rheem, Rinnai, Dux, Vulcan, and Aquamax.
Households with high or variable hot water demand, smaller homes, and properties where storage space is at a premium. We also install Rinnai, Bosch, Rheem, and Noritz continuous flow systems.
Electric storage is the cheapest to buy but the most expensive to run. Roughly $800 to $1,200 per year in electricity for a 250L system in Melbourne. Best for homes without gas connections, off-peak tariff arrangements, or where upfront cost is the primary consideration. We install Rheem, Dux, Vulcan, Aquamax, and Thermann electric storage systems.
The single most energy-efficient hot water option available to Melbourne homeowners. Ideally for households wanting the lowest ongoing energy costs, those replacing ageing electric storage systems, and homes with solar panels (maximising self-generated electricity use). We install partnered brands including Rheem, Stiebel Eltron, Reclaim Energy, iStore, and Aquamax heat pump systems.
Uses roof-mounted collectors to harness Melbourne's solar energy, with a gas or electric booster for overcast days and high-demand periods. Solar hot water can reduce water heating costs by 50–80% depending on household usage and orientation. Requires a suitable north-facing roof with adequate space for collectors. We install Rheem, Rinnai, Chromagen, and Dux solar hot water systems.
Best for: Homeowners with suitable roof orientation and space, those committed to reducing energy costs and carbon footprint long-term.

The honest advice: If you have gas and are replacing like-for-like, gas storage or continuous flow is the straightforward choice. If you're replacing an ageing electric system and want to dramatically reduce running costs, a heat pump delivers the best return, especially with current Victorian Government incentives available. We'll give you a genuine recommendation based on your home's setup, not on which system has the best margin for us. Get in touch with our hot water specialist today.
Choosing the wrong sized of hot water system can lead to performance issues and mechanical failure. When a unit is too small for your household's needs, it is forced to operate at maximum capacity indefinitely.
This constant strain not only results in lukewarm water during peak times but also accelerates the wear and tear on internal components, significantly shortening your hot water unit's lifespan. Make sure your unit is professionally matched to your home's layout and usage habits, which is essential for reliable, long-term performance.
This is one of the most common questions we're asked, and the honest answer depends on system age, fault type, and repair cost relative to replacement cost.
Generally worth repairing (system under 8 years old):
Consider replacement (system 10+ years old, or repair cost is high): Beyond 12 years, tank corrosion becomes the primary concern, and the plumber should inspect the tank condition carefully before recommending an expensive component repair on a system that may develop a tank leak within months.
We'll always give you an honest assessment, including when a repair is the more sensible option, even if replacement would be more profitable for us. That's how we've built a 25-year reputation in Melbourne.
