Hot Water Replacement Trafalgar

Measure the path before you pick the unit

On a country block the old cylinder often sits between a tank, a fence and a weatherboard wall. We measure that access, the plinth and the services before we recommend a size and a type. Getting the old unit onto the tray of the utility is frequently the harder half of the job, and it belongs in the quote. You get a fixed price for the changeover, including taking the old unit away and commissioning the new one.

Valves, trays and certificates

A replacement includes the required valves, a safe tray or drain where the standard asks for one, tempering where required, and a compliance certificate for the regulated work. We test the unit with you and leave the area clean.

Getting a cylinder onto the utility

We plan the lift from the side path onto the tray, and we allow a second pair of hands when the weight and the access require it. That planning is why we measure first and why the quote is a fixed price rather than an hourly guess that blows out on the day.

Choosing a unit that fits the block

We match the size to the household, the energy supply to what the house already has or can reasonably take, and the location to flueing, clearances and the path out to the utility. A unit that looks fine on a brochure is not useful if it cannot be landed safely between a tank and a weatherboard wall. You will hear that distinction before you sign off. The changeover includes valves, tempering where required, taking the old unit away and the certificate. Ring 03 8658 7379 with a photo of the unit and the path.

What the quote includes

The fixed price includes the new unit, the required valves, tempering where required, taking the old unit away, commissioning and the compliance certificate, plus the access work we have measured — including a lift onto the utility when that is how the old cylinder has to leave. If the electrical work sits outside our licence we will say so and coordinate it. Nothing starts until you agree. Call 03 8658 7379.

Trafalgar pipes at a glance

Trafalgar sits on the Princes Highway in Baw Baw Shire, postcode 3824, between Yarragon and Moe, with farmland, weatherboard houses and larger rural blocks spreading toward Thorpdale, Willow Grove, Narracan and Trafalgar East. Many homes here run a rainwater tank as well as, or instead of, a town supply, and a good number still have a septic system rather than a sewer. Water services can be long runs down a gravel drive, and earthenware or PVC drains pick up roots from paddock and roadside trees.

We use cameras, locators, pressure tests and acoustic leak detection so we can see the pipework before anyone cuts a wall or opens a trench in a paddock lawn.
