In Australia, solar energy is growing! Already, 36 percent of Aussie households have installed solar PV panels, while new solar water heater installation rates have remained comparatively low This is despite having ready access to solar radiation and the ability to harness and store that energy as hot water for later household use. If you are thinking about making the switch to a solar hot water system you will be asking – are all solar options created equal?

Hot Water Servicing is NOT Optional!

Updated 2024 By John Salmon.

Is this a hot water emergency? Call 3862 2600 24/7 for fast response (we’re usually with you within the hour), advice on the RIGHT replacement hot water system, and guaranteed replacement today (even if we have to give you a loaner!)

Hot water servicing is never top of your to-do list. In fact, most Brisbane homeowners don’t even realise that hot water servicing is a thing needed every five years, at least. And no, it’s not one of those sneaky services designed to charge you an arm and a leg for no reason. If you check out the manufacturer’s guidelines or your warranty, you’ll see that hot water units live a tough life, especially in Brisbane. Brisbane water is “hard” and can be particularly hard on electric hot water heaters. It is an essential service to replace two of the more crucial components of the hot water system: the sacrificial anode and the hot water valves.

Salmon Plumbing does our best to minimise downtime because business downtime is costly. We don’t just repair systems; we restore operations. Salmon Plumbing offers priority emergency response and rapid repair services to minimize disruption and get your business back on track quickly.

What our expert plumbers say

After more than 20 years as leading plumbers in Brisbane, we can tell you that a neglected hot water system costs more to run, is less efficient and it dies far sooner than it should. It’s not just the valves and anode, regular “checking” is key to making sure you aren’t paying a fortune in water heating costs, hot water repairs and looking at premature hot water system replacement.

This is why Salmon Plumbing offers unwavering support for you. Our relationship with you doesn’t end after installation. We don’t just disappear; we support you every step of the way. Salmon Plumbing offers comprehensive maintenance programs, prompt repair services, and expert advice, ensuring your hot water system continues to perform optimally for years to come.
