What we find in Kangaroo Point

On compact properties the available footprint narrows the choice considerably, and that is worth knowing early.

Kangaroo Point in detail

The Brisbane River shapes the local drainage. Low-lying blocks near it see surcharge first when the rain is heavy enough.

Getting access in Kangaroo Point

Access in Kangaroo Point is worth a sentence on the phone. Parking restrictions and shared entries change how we schedule the visit.

Getting to Kangaroo Point

We are there most days, and we would rather give you an accurate time than an optimistic one. The same vans cover Fortitude Valley, New Farm, East Brisbane and Woolloongabba, which is why a boundary address is never a problem.

Before you call us

Before you call, find the data plate on the unit. It is a sticker or metal plate with the brand, the model number and usually the year. Reading that out on the phone means the right parts come with us rather than being ordered after a wasted visit. Note what changed. No hot water at all is a different fault from hot water that runs out quickly, which is different again from water that is too hot or fluctuating. Each points somewhere specific, and telling us which saves diagnostic time.

What happens when we arrive

On arrival we isolate the unit, test the electrical or gas supply to it, then work through the components. Most faults are identified within the first twenty minutes.

After the job

After the work we note anything worth watching - a joint weeping slightly, a section that has corroded more than its neighbours - so you are not surprised later.

How we quote

You will know the cost of a Kangaroo Point job before it starts. Anything that changes the scope is discussed with you rather than decided for you.

What affects the price

Installation is notifiable work and the lodgement is included. You should not be charged separately for paperwork that is a legal requirement of the job. Replacement pricing turns on three things: the system type, whether you are staying with the same type, and whether the existing connections can take the new unit. Changing from electric to gas or to a heat pump usually means new connections and sometimes electrical work.

How we do it

We assess the location, the existing connections and the household demand before recommending anything, then install, commission and lodge the notifiable work with the council.

Preventive work in Kangaroo Point

In Kangaroo Point, clearing gutters, downpipes and stormwater pits ahead of storm season is cheap insurance. the Brisbane River only takes what reaches it.

Approvals and compliance

Approvals for Kangaroo Point go to Brisbane City Council. We submit them so the job is compliant on paper as well as in the ground.

The The Gabba ward covers Kangaroo Point, which is who we lodge with for anything on council land.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on how many people use hot water and when. Undersizing is a daily annoyance for a decade, so we size for the household rather than the old unit.

Often, but it may need new connections, a different position and sometimes electrical work. We assess what your property can take before quoting.

It depends on household size, your energy connection and the space available. The cheapest to buy is frequently the most expensive to run, and we set out both numbers.

Rebates change and vary by system type and circumstance. We will tell you what we know, and point you at the current scheme rather than guessing at an amount.

Emergency work in Kangaroo Point is not limited to business hours. Call the number on this page and tell us what is happening; we will tell you straight away whether it can wait until morning.

Yes. Where the fault sits in common property we identify that early so you are not paying for work the body corporate is responsible for.

Yes - electric, gas, solar and heat pump. We check the existing connections before quoting, because an old supply line can turn a simple swap into a bigger job.
