What we find in Tarragindi

A service covers the things that decide how long the unit lasts: the sacrificial anode, the temperature and pressure relief valve, sediment in the base of the tank, and the thermostat. The anode is the one that matters most.

Tarragindi in detail

Sandy Creek is the local drainage line. Anything that slows a property's stormwater between the house and that outlet shows up as a flooded yard in a storm.

Getting access in Tarragindi

Access in Tarragindi is rarely the issue - there is room to park and room to work. The distance from the street to the fault is what takes the time.

Getting to Tarragindi

It is well within our area; we just do not pretend the drive takes no time. Greenslopes, Holland Park West, Mount Gravatt and Nathan sit on the same daily routes as Tarragindi.

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. Check two things first. Is there power or gas to the unit - has a breaker tripped or a pilot gone out? And is the isolation valve on the cold inlet fully open? Both are free to check and both account for a fair number of the calls we take.

What happens when we arrive

We test rather than assume. An old unit with a failed thermostat is a repair, and we will tell you so even though a replacement would be the bigger invoice.

After the job

We will tell you if something we noticed is worth attention, and we will tell you if it is not urgent. Both are useful and only one of them sells work.

How we quote

We price Tarragindi work up front and hold to it. The only time a number changes is when we have found something and told you about it first.

What affects the price

Rebates change and vary by system and circumstance. We will tell you what we know and point you at the current scheme rather than quoting you a number we cannot stand behind. Servicing costs a fraction of replacement and is the single thing that most reliably extends a tank's life. The anode is the part doing the work and checking it is most of the job.

How we do it

The anode comes out and gets assessed. If it is consumed, it is replaced; if it is not, we say so and leave it.

Preventive work in Tarragindi

Tarragindi drainage depends on getting water to Sandy Creek. Anything blocking that path on your property turns heavy rain into a problem.

Approvals and compliance

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

Frequently asked questions

Most manufacturers require servicing at stated intervals for the warranty to hold. Skipping it can cost you the warranty as well as the unit.

A tank full of sediment takes more energy to heat, so removing it helps. It will not transform a failing unit, and we will say so if that is what you have.

Yes. There is no tank or anode, but the filters, the heat exchanger and the gas and water connections all need checking.

If the tank is sound, yes. If it has already corroded through, no, and we will tell you which you have rather than taking the money.

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.

We quote the job before we start, so the price you agree to is the price on the invoice. Ask on the phone and we will tell you what the attendance costs before we leave the depot.

Yes, with acoustic and thermal detection rather than opening walls. We locate the fault first and quote the repair second.
