Hot Water Installation in Greensborough

Whether you are replacing a failed system, upgrading to a more efficient option, or installing hot water in a new home or renovation, getting a quality hot water installation matters for both performance and longevity. A properly installed system works as intended from day one, meets all compliance requirements, and is eligible for its full manufacturer’s warranty.

Goats Plumbing installs all types of hot water systems for homes across Greensborough and surrounding areas. As both licensed plumbers and licensed gasfitters, we are qualified to install gas, electric, solar, and heat pump systems without needing to subcontract any part of the job.

What Is Involved in a Hot Water Installation?

A hot water installation involves more than just positioning the new unit. Goats Plumbing handles everything required for a complete, compliant installation:

  • Removal of the old system – Safe disconnection and removal of the existing unit.
  • Plumbing connections – Cold water inlet, hot water distribution, pressure and temperature relief valve, and expansion control valve connections.
  • Gas connections – For gas systems, connection to the existing gas supply line by a licensed gasfitter.
  • Electrical connections – For electric systems, connection to the existing electrical circuit.
  • Commissioning – Setting thermostat, testing operation, and verifying pressure and temperature at outlets.
  • Compliance certification – Gas safety certificate for gas systems, certificate of compliance where required.

First-Time Hot Water Installations

Installing hot water in a new location, such as for a new home, a granny flat, or a renovation, requires more work than a like-for-like replacement. Goats Plumbing handles first-time hot water installations including:

  • Running new water supply and hot water distribution pipework to and from the unit
  • For gas systems, running a new gas line from the existing gas supply to the unit location
  • For electric systems, coordinating with an electrician for the electrical connection
  • Installing pressure and temperature relief valve drain lines to a safe discharge point
  • Selecting the right location for the unit considering service access, noise, solar orientation (for solar and heat pump systems), and visual impact

Which Hot Water System Should You Install?

This is one of the most common questions Goats Plumbing gets, and the honest answer is that it depends on your household. Here are the key considerations:

  • Do you have natural gas? – If yes, a gas continuous flow system is often the best all-round choice for most households.
  • Do you have or plan to get solar panels? – A heat pump or solar hot water system pairs excellently with rooftop solar to minimise running costs.
  • Are government rebates important to you? – Heat pump systems currently attract significant Victorian government rebates for households switching from electric storage.
  • What is your budget? – Electric storage has the lowest upfront cost. Heat pump has the highest upfront cost but the lowest running costs of any electric system.

Assessment and selection
We assess your home, household size, and hot water requirements to recommend the right system type, brand, and capacity before quoting.

The new hot water system is positioned, mounted, and connected to all required services including water supply, hot water distribution, and gas or electrical supply.

4.

Commission and certify
The system is commissioned, tested for correct operation and pressure, and all required compliance certification is issued before we leave.
