Hot Water System Replacement in Alphington – Fast, Reliable Plumbing Service

At Ivanhoe Plumbing and Gas, we’re proud to offer fast and professional hot water repairs and replacements across Melbourne’s inner north. Last week, we were called out to an Alphington home after the client woke up to no hot water — not ideal on a chilly winter morning!

Our team responded promptly and had their hot water system back up and running the same day.

🔍 The Issue: No Hot Water in Alphington

On arrival, we carried out a full inspection and found that the old gas storage unit had failed due to a faulty thermocouple and general wear and tear. Given the unit’s age, spare parts were no longer available and it made more sense to recommend a full hot water system replacement.

🔧 The Solution: New AquaMAX Gas Storage Installation

Here’s what we did to get this Alphington home sorted:

  • Safely disconnected and removed the old gas hot water unit.

  • Supplied and installed a new AquaMAX 390 gas storage system, ideal for family homes.

  • Upgraded the gas line to meet current Australian standards.

  • Fully tested and commissioned the new system for immediate use.

  • Provided a Plumbing Certificate of Compliance for the installation.

The customer was extremely happy to have hot water restored within hours, and they were impressed with how smoothly the upgrade process went.

💡 Why Upgrade Your Hot Water System?

If your hot water unit is over 10 years old, inefficient, or failing, it’s often more cost-effective to replace it before it breaks down completely. New systems offer:

  • Better energy efficiency

  • Improved water pressure and performance

  • Long-term reliability

  • Peace of mind with warranties and compliance certification
