Hot Water Repairs
Faulty elements, seized valves and dead pilots fixed on electric and gas systems, with the cause explained before any part goes in. See hot water repairs.
Sea air off the Passage works hard on outdoor hot water units in Bongaree, rusting casings and unions well before the cylinder gives out. We swap corroded tanks for heat pumps sized to your household, and we keep them running with valve and anode changes.
If we're late, $100 comes off your bill

Bongaree Hot Water Services is the hot water team for Bongaree, Woorim and Sandstone Point in the City of Moreton Bay. We repair, replace and install electric, gas, instant, heat pump and solar systems for the weatherboard cottages, brick-veneer houses and villa complexes that make up this island town. Every job is quoted in full before it starts. Read about our team to see how we work.

Faulty elements, seized valves and dead pilots fixed on electric and gas systems, with the cause explained before any part goes in. See hot water repairs.

Water gone cold? Safe checks and likely causes, from a tripped breaker to a failed element, with a plumber on the way. Start with no hot water help.

When the tank is finished, an honest swap for the same type or an upgrade to a heat pump, sized to the home. Compare hot water replacement options.

New systems where none were, plus renovations and new builds, with the unit sized and placed to suit the house. Book hot water installation.
$0 call-out fees, available 24/7, and same-day where we can.


Whatever heats your water now, we service it and install its replacement:

Homes along the Welsby Parade and South Esplanade waterfront sit in spray blown off the Passage all year, and it corrodes taps, isolation valves and tank fittings well before the cylinder itself wears out. A valve that weeps or seizes on an outdoor unit near the water is usually rust at work, not a fault inside the tank.
The grid was only wired for mains power in 1953, so any cottage older than that has had its hot water unit swapped at least once, and the newer units are now ageing in turn. A winter cold snap is often what exposes them.
A pre-1960 cottage may still run galvanised iron water pipe, which rusts internally and chokes down over the years. That restricts flow to a new unit, so we check the supply line before quoting any swap.

Your hot water job is priced up front as a fixed quote, and no work begins until you've agreed to it. We work on flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees, and there's no extra charge for nights, weekends or public holidays. You can also fix now, pay later.
What moves the figure:
When we're not the right call: if the fault traces back to a switchboard or needs a new circuit, an electrician handles that side of it, and we can name one over the phone.

Census figures put the average household here at 1.8 people with a median age of 67, so a giant tank often just burns power heating water nobody uses.
Installs recorded across the postcode include 1,684 solar hot water systems and 1,012 heat pump units, so both types have a track record on this island's roofs and side paths.
At the last census, 63.8 per cent of dwellings were separate houses and only 5.8 per cent were flats or apartments, which usually means a garden or side path for an outdoor unit rather than a shared plant room.

Our territory stretches from the surf side of the island to the mainland shore of the bridge: Woorim, Sandstone Point and Bellara. Not sure whether your street is on it? Contact us and we'll confirm on the phone.

A licensed plumber checks the system and gives you one fixed quote. Nothing starts until you're happy with it.

We swap the failed part or the whole unit, connect the water and gas lines, and pressure-test everything before the hot water returns.

We test the hot water at your taps, check the valves and show you how the system works.

A cold tank can't wait, so we're available 24/7 and get to Bongaree the same day where we can. The phone is answered seven days a week.

Every repair and install carries a lifetime labour warranty, alongside the manufacturer's warranty on a new system.

Every job is done by a licensed plumber, gas work included, and we have 200+ five-star Google reviews. That straight answer matters most on an island where the oldest households feel a dead unit in a cold snap hardest of all.
Your price is set in full before work begins and it holds to the end of the job, so the figure Bongaree Hot Water Services quotes is the figure you pay.
We offer same-day service where we can, because a cold shower on the island should not wait, so ring early and the first free visit slot goes to you.
Yes, hot water work is licensed plumbing in Queensland and gas connections need a gasfitting licence as well, and we hold both, so your gas or electric system stays with one team.
It depends on your household, your roof and your power supply, and with small households common here a heat pump or a compact storage tank often suits, which we match to the home.
We work on Rheem, Rinnai and Bosch units along with the other common makes on the island, so if yours is a lesser-known brand, ring and describe it for a straight yes or no.
Ring (07) 3523 1736 or use the form on the Bongaree Hot Water Services site and tell us the system type, its rough age and the symptoms, and the first suitable slot gets booked for you.
