No hot water is miserable, especially during a Canberra winter. Revolution Plumbing repairs, replaces, and installs hot water systems across Canberra. We work with all major brands and all system types: electric, gas, solar, and heat pump. Same-day service available.
Whether your hot water has stopped working or you are planning an upgrade, we handle the full scope.
Faulty thermostats, blown elements, leaking valves, pilot lights that will not stay lit, and error codes on continuous flow units. We diagnose and repair hot water issues across all brands and types. If your system is worth repairing, we will fix it. If not, we will tell you honestly and provide replacement options.
When your hot water system has reached the end of its life, we remove the old unit and install a new one. We help you choose the right system for your household size, energy source, and budget. For straightforward like-for-like replacements, we can often complete the swap on the same day you call.
Building a new home or renovating? We supply and install hot water systems as part of your project. We work with builders, owner-builders, and homeowners to select and install the right system for the build. All gas installations include compliance certificates.
Upgrading from an old electric storage tank to a gas continuous flow system or a heat pump can significantly reduce your energy bills. We advise on the best option for your property and handle the full changeover, including any modifications to pipework, gas lines, or electrical connections needed.
Tell us what is happening. No hot water, leaking tank, error code, or you want to upgrade. We will ask about your system type, age, and household size to provide initial guidance over the phone.
We inspect the system, diagnose the fault, and present your options clearly: repair vs replace, system type recommendations, and upfront pricing. No pressure, just honest advice.
We complete the repair or installation, test the system thoroughly, and make sure you have hot water flowing before we leave. All work is guaranteed and we clean up after ourselves.
Canberra's climate has specific implications for hot water system performance. Here is what to consider.
These systems are popular in Canberra because they provide unlimited hot water on demand and are not affected by cold ambient temperatures the way heat pumps can be. They are compact, efficient, and ideal for families. You will need a gas connection and a licensed gas fitter for installation.
Heat pumps extract heat from the air to heat water, making them energy efficient and eligible for government rebates. However, their efficiency drops in cold weather, which is worth considering given Canberra regularly hits minus five in winter. Most quality heat pumps still perform adequately in cold conditions, but output may reduce on the coldest nights.
Solar systems take advantage of Canberra's high sunshine hours (over 2,800 per year). A well-oriented roof with minimal shading makes solar a strong option, especially when paired with a gas or electric booster for cloudy days and winter.
Electric storage systems are the most affordable upfront but the most expensive to run. If you currently have an electric storage tank and it needs replacing, this is the ideal time to consider upgrading to a more efficient system type.
We serve all Canberra suburbs including Gungahlin, Belconnen, Tuggeranong, and Weston Creek. Call us to discuss which system suits your home best.
