New Hot Water Systems Kedron
Every replacement starts with a straight answer on whether the old unit is worth keeping. If it isn't, you get a fixed quote before the work begins, and the new system is sized to your household rather than copied from the old tank's badge.
If the unit still has life in it, hot water repair covers elements, valves and thermostats instead, and a cold shower tonight is a no-hot-water call.
Old Tanks and Damp Undercrofts
What makes this job different street by street is the sheer spread of housing ages.
Neighbours generations apart
Housing here spans a century, from the 1910s tram subdivisions to recent apartment blocks, so neighbouring homes can carry cylinders generations apart in age, and each replacement is sized to the actual house.
Damp eats tank bases
The older highset homes keep their tanks in the undercroft, where damp lingers, and it's usually the base that goes first, so every quote starts with a look underneath.
Upgrades are already common
Install records for this postcode area put solar hot water systems at 514 and heat pumps at 378, so plenty of households have already moved off old electric tanks.
What We Replace and Install
These are the replacement jobs our licensed Kedron plumbers handle across the suburb, from the tram-era streets through to the flat blocks off Gympie Road:
Storage Tank Swaps
An old cylinder comes out and a right-sized storage tank goes in, with new valves, the tempering setting checked and the relief line run to spec, same-day where we can.
Continuous-Flow Upgrades
A continuous-flow unit replaces a tired tank where demand is high, heating water on demand so a busy bathroom queue never runs cold, and the old cylinder goes to recycling.
Solar and Heat Pump
Solar units and heat pumps get installed with their circulators, valves and controllers set up properly, and the old electric tank goes to the recycler with the rest of the scrap.
Relocations and Gas Units
A tank moves out of a damp undercroft to a better position, and gas storage or continuous-flow changeovers are handled under our licensed gas fitting ticket, old lines capped off.
Signs a Unit Is Finished
Four signs usually settle the keep-or-swap question before we quote anything:
Leaking Cylinder Base
A wet patch under the tank means the cylinder has rusted through and no repair seals that, so we replace the unit before it dumps water right across the laundry floor.
Rusty Hot Water
Brown-tinged hot water from an ageing tank signals the anode is spent and the lining is failing, so the unit goes on the replacement list rather than the repair list.
Running Out Early
Showers going cold halfway through point to a cylinder too small or too tired for the household, and a properly sized replacement fixes both the shortage and the running cost.
Aged Units
A unit past its service life fails suddenly in the cool weeks each winter, and replacing it on your schedule beats losing hot water on the first cold June morning.
Why Replacing on Time Matters
A dying tank never picks a convenient moment, and the costs of waiting are bigger than the price of the swap:
A failing tank doesn't wait
A cylinder that rusts through releases its whole contents at once, and in a raised house that water goes straight through the floorboards to whatever sits below. Replacing it while it only weeps keeps it a one-tray job.
Right sizing saves money
A tank too big for a two-person household heats water nobody uses, and one too small runs out mid-shower. We ask how the house actually lives before picking the unit.
Safety gear ages too
Tempering valves, relief valves and isolation points wear out with the tank, and a replacement visit brings all of them up to current standards in one go.

Hot Water Replacement Questions
Call (07) 3522 5623How do I know my hot water system is due for replacement?
A tank leaking at the base, rusty water or a heater well past its expected life is a replacement; a failed element or valve on a sound cylinder is a repair.
Can you replace a tank in a raised pre-1947 Kedron house?
Yes, raised weatherboard houses give clear access beneath the floor, so a dead cylinder comes out and its replacement goes in without cutting into character fabric, and old lines get capped.
What system types can you install in Kedron homes?
We install storage cylinders, continuous-flow heaters, rooftop solar systems and heat pumps, and the replacement gets sized to your household's actual demand before we quote a fixed price for the job.
Who owns the pipes around a new hot water system in Kedron?
The water main under the street belongs to Urban Utilities; the pipes past your connection, hot water unit and its valves included, are yours to maintain as the property owner.
How long does a hot water replacement take?
The visit covers isolating and draining the old unit, fitting and commissioning the new one, and checking hot flow at every tap, with the price set before we start and the old tank taken away.
