New Hot Water Systems in Strathpine
A replacement visit covers the whole swap: choosing the right unit, disconnecting the old one, fitting the new system and making sure everything flows. You get the price in writing before the work begins, and there's no extra charge for nights, weekends or public holidays.
Not sure whether the old tank can be saved? See our hot water repair page, or the no hot water page if the outage is happening right now.
Estate Tanks Reaching the End
Plenty of gardens have seen a swap or two
Housing here spread through the 1960s and 1970s, so many houses are onto a later tank already, and the next changeover is routine work for our plumbers rather than a surprise.
Complexes off Mecklem Street
The attached homes beside the centre run their hot water along exposed outside walls and through shared courtyards, which shapes where a new unit can sit and which shut-offs we use.
Winter sorts the tired from the sound
Winters here stay mild, yet the first cold snap of the year is when weakened units quit, and a booked replacement ahead of the cold weeks costs less than a midnight outage.
What a Replacement Covers
: Supply, fit, connect and test, the four parts of every hot water replacement:
Tank Supply and Swap
We supply the new unit, disconnect the old tank, fit the replacement with fresh valves and hoses, then fill the system, purge the air and test everything before we hand it over.
System Types Explained
Each type heats differently, and the running costs vary with your tariff and roof, so we lay out the honest numbers for your house rather than pushing one type.
Valves and Connections
Tempering valves, pressure-limiting valves and isolating taps wear out on the same timeline as the tank, so each swap renews the safety fittings that keep the new unit compliant and legal.
Old Unit Removal
The drained tank comes off its brackets and goes to the scrap recycler, and the site is left swept, because carting the old unit away is part of the job.
Common Problems With Ageing Units
A Base Rusted Through
A tank weeping from the bottom has corroded through after years of damp service, and no repair holds on a rusted base, so a full replacement is the honest answer.
A Shower Gone Cold
A growing household can outstrip an old unit's recovery rate, and a larger replacement brings back hot showers through the morning rush without anyone scheduling baths around the tank.
A Tank Past Its Parts
When the element, the valves and the fittings have each been renewed once already, further repair money is better saved toward a new system with a fresh warranty.
A Unit Off the Wall
Older brackets and rusted fittings sometimes give way before the tank does, and a sagging unit on a shared wall needs a prompt, safe replacement rather than a rehang.
Why a Proper Replacement Matters
Safety first
Hot water systems carry mains pressure and scalding temperatures, and every replacement is done by a licensed plumber under QBCC No: 15024607, with tempering valves set to keep the delivery temperature safe.
Running costs, not just purchase price
The right unit for your household size and tariff can quietly shave money off every bill, and we size the replacement to the house rather than selling the biggest tank.
Compliance paperwork you keep
Gas and heat-pump work comes with the certificates that stay with the house for any later sale, claim or reno check, and every job carries our lifetime labour warranty.

Hot Water Replacement Questions Answered
Call (07) 3067 4272How do I know a hot water system in Strathpine needs replacing rather than fixing?
Rust at the base, water leaking from the tank itself, or a unit well past its second decade usually means replacement, and we give you an honest verdict on the spot before any work starts.
Which replacement system suits a 1960s brick-veneer house in Strathpine?
Electric storage, gas, solar and heat-pump units all suit houses here, and postcode-area records already list 2,111 solar and 1,783 heat-pump installs, so we compare running costs before you choose.
Does Unitywater have any say in a hot water replacement?
No, because the public mains are Unitywater's while your hot water system sits entirely on the property side of the connection, so the choice of unit and the timing stay with you.
Can you replace a hot water unit in a townhouse complex off Mecklem Street?
Yes, we schedule such work with shared shut-off points, exposed outside walls and each complex's rules in mind, working alongside body corporate so the replacement goes smoothly.
What happens to the old tank after a replacement?
We drain the old unit, take it off the wall and haul it away for scrap recycling, leaving a clean work area, because disposal is included in the quoted price.
