Have You Lost Your Hot Water?
When a hot water system fails completely, it tends to happen at the worst possible time. And because most people don't think about their hot water unit until it stops working, they end up making a rushed decision about a replacement without knowing what their options are.
Across Sunbury and the north west suburbs, we see systems that have been running well past their expected lifespan, units that were never the right size for the household, and systems that just need a simple part replaced rather than a full swap-out.
When you call Nexgen Plumbing & Gasfitting, you speak directly with a licensed plumber. We assess what is actually going on before recommending anything, and we give you honest advice on whether a repair or a replacement is the right call for your situation.

Hot Water Repairs
Before recommending a replacement, we assess the full system. Many faults are straightforward repairs that extend the life of your existing unit at a fraction of the cost of a new system.
Hot Water System Replacement
When a repair is not the right call, we help you choose a replacement that suits your household size, energy preferences, and budget. We handle the full swap-out including disconnecting the old unit, installing the new one, and checking everything is running correctly before we leave.
Electric Hot Water Systems
Electric storage systems are common across Sunbury homes and are one of the most straightforward options to install and maintain. We service and install electric hot water units from reliable brands and can advise on the right tank size for your household.
Gas Hot Water Systems
Gas storage systems heat water quickly and tend to have lower running costs than electric storage units. We install and repair gas hot water systems and ensure all gas connections are completed to the required standard with a compliance certificate on completion.
Heat Pumps
Heat pump systems are one of the most energy-efficient options available. They use the surrounding air to heat water rather than a heating element, which means significantly lower running costs. We install heat pump systems and advise on government rebates that may be available.
Continuous Flow Hot Water Systems
Continuous flow systems heat water on demand rather than storing it in a tank. There is no tank to maintain, no heat loss, and no risk of running out. We install and service both gas and electric continuous flow units

Hot Water System Repair, Replacement & Installation
Hot Water Repairs in Sunbury
Not every hot water problem needs a new system. A unit that produces lukewarm water, runs out too quickly, or makes unusual noises is often suffering from a single fault — a failed heating element, a worn thermostat, a corroded anode rod, or a pressure relief valve that is not seating correctly. We check the full system before drawing any conclusions.
If the fault is repairable and the unit has reasonable life left in it, a repair is almost always the better value option. We give you an honest assessment before recommending anything.
Hot Water System Replacement in Sunbury
When a system is beyond repair, or the cost of fixing it is close to the cost of a new unit, a replacement is the right move. The same applies to systems that are significantly undersized for the household. We help you choose a replacement based on your household size, energy setup, and budget.
We handle the full swap-out — disconnecting and removing the old unit, installing the new system, and testing everything before we leave. Where a gas system is involved, a compliance certificate is issued on completion.
Electric Hot Water Systems in Sunbury
Electric storage hot water systems are one of the most common setups in Sunbury homes. They are straightforward to install, easy to maintain, and work well for most households. We install and service electric storage systems from reliable brands and advise on the right tank size for your household.
For homes on a time-of-use electricity tariff, we can also look at off-peak timer settings that reduce running costs by heating water during cheaper rate periods overnight.
Gas Hot Water Systems in Sunbury
Gas storage systems heat water faster than electric units and tend to have lower running costs for households with moderate to high hot water usage. For homes in Sunbury that already have a gas connection, a gas hot water system is often a practical and cost-effective choice.
We install and service gas storage systems and carry out all gas connections to the required standard. A compliance certificate is issued on completion of any gas work.
Heat Pump Hot Water Systems in Sunbury
Heat pump systems extract heat from the surrounding air to warm the water in the tank, using significantly less electricity than a standard electric storage system. They are a strong fit for households looking to reduce energy bills or move away from gas.
Depending on your circumstances, government rebates may be available that reduce the upfront cost of installation. We can advise on current rebate eligibility as part of the quoting process.
Continuous Flow Hot Water Systems in Sunbury
Continuous flow systems heat water as it is needed rather than storing it. There is no tank to maintain, no standby heat loss, and no risk of the hot water running out. They suit homes with limited space or those who want a lower-maintenance setup.
Both gas and electric continuous flow units are available. We assess your household's usage before recommending a model to make sure the flow rate and temperature output will meet your needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Not necessarily. Many hot water failures come down to a single faulty component — a heating element, thermostat, or pressure relief valve. We assess the full system before making any recommendation. If a repair makes sense, that is what we will suggest. If the unit is too far gone, we will tell you clearly and give you options for a replacement.
Most electric and gas storage systems last between 8 and 12 years with reasonable maintenance. Heat pump systems can last longer. Continuous flow units generally have a longer lifespan than storage tanks. If your system is approaching or past that range and starting to cause problems, it is worth getting it assessed rather than waiting for a complete failure.
It depends on the number of people in your household and your usage patterns. As a general guide, a household of 1–2 people typically needs a 125–160 litre tank, while a family of 4 or more will usually need 250–315 litres or a continuous flow system. We advise on the right size as part of every quote.
Yes, rebates are currently available in Victoria for households upgrading to an energy-efficient hot water system, including heat pump units. Eligibility depends on your current system and circumstances. We can advise on what may apply to you as part of the quoting process.
Most replacements are completed in a few hours. A like-for-like swap on an electric or gas storage system is typically a half-day job. Heat pump installations can take a little longer depending on the location and any additional electrical work required.
In many cases, yes. We carry stock of common system types and sizes. If your system has failed and you need a replacement quickly, call us and we will let you know what we can do based on availability.
We service Sunbury and the surrounding north west suburbs of Melbourne, including Diggers Rest, Bulla, Gisborne, Riddells Creek, Lancefield, and Macedon. Call us to confirm availability for your location.
