Hot water never fails at a good time. The signs are familiar: a lukewarm shower, a pilot that will not stay lit, a tank weeping onto the laundry floor. When it happens in a Seddon home, AM Plumbers can have a licensed plumber on the way the same day, on a line answered 24 hours a day, public holidays included. Gas, electric, solar, or continuous flow, we repair and replace the lot. One of our plumbers specialises in heating and cooling, so this is genuinely his trade. Call 1300 AMP NOW (1300 267 669), tell us what the unit is doing, and we will line up a visit today.

Around-the-Clock Hot Water Help for Seddon
A hot water fault does not keep office hours. A burst tank running into a cupboard, a unit dead on a freezing morning, or a pilot that will not relight: these are the calls we take most days. The phones are answered 24 hours a day, public holidays included, and we aim to reach Seddon jobs the same day you ring. Because Seddon sits beside our Footscray base, a plumber can usually be there today, not next week. If a tank is leaking, turn the water off at its isolation valve when you can do so safely, and leave the rest to us.
Repairs, Replacements and Installs, System by System
Hot water is not one product, and the right fix turns on what is against your wall now. We repair, replace and install every main type:
- Gas storage: a tank kept hot by a gas burner, common in older Seddon homes on mains gas. We replace burners, thermocouples and valves, or swap the unit.
- Continuous flow gas, also called instantaneous: wall-hung, heats on demand, and a favourite where cupboard space is short.
- Electric storage: the simplest like-for-like swap, and an easy starting point for an efficient upgrade.
- Solar: roof-mounted collectors with a gas or electric booster for grey Melbourne winters.
We service the brands you find in inner-west homes, Rheem, Rinnai, Bosch and Dux among them, and carry common parts, so many repairs are done in one visit. When a unit is past saving, we can often supply and fit the replacement the same day.
Our Services
Nursing an Old Unit Along, or Upgrading for Good
A repair is usually the right call when the system has years left and a single part has failed, such as a thermostat, valve or thermocouple. Replacement makes more sense once a tank is leaking, the same fault keeps returning, or a newer system would pay for itself in lower running costs. We will tell you which way we would go if it were our own home, and we will not push a new unit when a repair will do.
We were once called to a home where a gas storage heater from the mid-1990s kept dropping its pilot light; someone in the house had relit it three times in a week before calling us. Patching the pilot again would only have bought a few weeks, so we talked the owners through a continuous flow upgrade instead, rerouted the pipework, removed the old unit, and had hot water running again before dinner. It also freed the space the old tank had taken down the side of the house.
Are You Eligible for a Victorian Hot Water Rebate?
If you are replacing rather than repairing, an efficient system is much cheaper to run, and there is help with the up-front cost. The Victorian Government offers rebates and discounts towards swapping an old electric or gas tank for a solar unit, through Solar Victoria and the Victorian Energy Upgrades program. Check Solar Victoria at solar.vic.gov.au for the current Victorian Government rebate, including current eligibility and figures, and energy.gov.au for how the schemes fit together. When we quote a replacement, we will steer you towards compliant systems so you can claim whatever you qualify for.
What to Try Before You Call, and Why It's a Plumber's Job
A couple of quick checks can save you a call-out. On a gas unit, see whether the pilot has gone out or the gas has been turned off. On an electric unit, check the meter box for a tripped hot water circuit and switch it back on once. If neither brings the hot water back, stop there: a hot water system ties water, gas and electrical work together and is not safe to pull apart.
In Victoria, the water and gas side of the job is licensed plumbing and gasfitting work. A licensed plumber and gasfitter handles the tank, the gas burner, the tempering valve, the temperature and pressure relief valve, the pipework, and the full changeover on a replacement. The one part that can need a licensed electrician is the wiring to an electric element, which we line up so you are not chasing two trades. When there is no hot water at all, a plumber is the right first call.
Quoted in Full Before a Spanner Comes Out
Cost is the first thing most people ask about, and it deserves a straight answer, not a number plucked out of the air. We look at the unit and the fault first, then put the whole job in a written quote, so you approve a fixed figure before work begins. There is no call-out charge bolted on and nothing added at the end, and our price guarantee and satisfaction guarantee stand behind it. If a repair is not worth your money, we will price the replacement in the same visit so you can decide with the full picture, and we will never talk you into a unit you do not need.

Hot Water Answers for Seddon Homes
On most days we reach a Seddon hot water job the same day you call, on a line answered 24 hours a day, public holidays included. A burst or leaking tank is exactly what the after-hours line is for, so there is no need to wait until morning.
In a tight period terrace, a wall-hung continuous flow unit or a compact unit usually beats a bulky storage tank, because it gives back cupboard and side space. On a heritage-overlay property we plan the siting, flue and pipework around keeping the home's character intact, and size whatever you choose to the bathrooms you run.
Rusty or discoloured hot water, pooling at the base of a storage tank, a pilot that keeps going out, or hot water running cold faster than it used to are the usual warnings. Storage tanks generally have a shorter life than continuous flow units, and we will give you an honest read on site.
Usually, yes. We carry common parts for repairs, and when a unit is past saving we can often supply and install a replacement the same visit, so you are not left without hot water overnight. If a specific system must be ordered in, we will tell you the timing up front.
