East Point Plumbing provides complete hot water system services across Byron Bay and the Far North Coast. Whether your hot water has stopped working, your system is leaking, or you're ready to upgrade to something more energy-efficient, Christian and the team can help.
We service and install all types of hot water systems including electric storage, gas (continuous flow and storage), solar, and heat pump units. We work with all major brands including Rheem, Rinnai, Dux, Thermann, Bosch, and Stiebel Eltron.
Common hot water issues we fix:
- No hot water or intermittent hot water
- Leaking hot water system (tank or valves)
- Low water pressure from the hot water tap
- Discoloured or smelly hot water
- Pilot light keeps going out (gas systems)
- High energy bills from an inefficient system
When to replace vs. repair:
If your system is over 10 years old and experiencing repeated issues, replacement is usually more cost-effective than ongoing repairs. We'll always give you honest advice on whether a repair or replacement is the better investment.
Energy efficiency upgrades:
Heat pump systems can reduce hot water energy use by up to 70% compared to a standard electric storage system. We can advise on rebates available through the NSW Energy Savings Scheme.
All hot water work is completed to Australian Standards (AS 3500.4) and includes a compliance certificate. Emergency same-day service is available for hot water failures.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked
How long does a hot water system replacement take?
A standard like-for-like replacement typically takes 3-4 hours. If we're changing from one type to another (e.g., electric to gas or heat pump), it may take a full day due to additional plumbing and electrical work.
What's the best hot water system for Byron Bay?
Heat pump systems are an excellent choice for the Byron Bay climate — they work efficiently in our warm conditions and can significantly reduce energy costs. Solar with gas boost is another great option. We'll recommend the best system for your household size and budget.
