What Backs an AM Plumbers Hot Water Job
A hot water unit ties together gas, water and pressure, so who works on it matters. Here is what stands behind the name. Every job runs under Plumbing Licence No. 103487, which you are welcome to check before anyone starts, and the business carries $20 million in public liability cover. We also have heating and cooling specialists, so a failed system lands with someone who works on these units daily, all backed by more than 19 years of combined trade experience.

Every job carries a satisfaction guarantee and a workmanship warranty, and AM Plumbers has plumbed across Melbourne since 2007. When a repair beats a new unit on value, we say so.

Hot Water Back On the Same Day, in Strathmore and Strathmore Heights
You rarely get much warning. One morning the water never runs hot, a pilot will not stay lit, or a tank starts weeping onto the laundry floor. Tell us what yours is doing and a licensed plumber can usually be in Strathmore the same day, often within hours, to get it running or fit a replacement. The line is answered 24 hours a day, weekends and public holidays included, so a unit that dies late on a Sunday need not wait for Monday.
Strathmore and Strathmore Heights sit side by side on the one postcode, and we treat them as one service area, the same plumbers and the same pricing across both, along with nearby Essendon, Essendon Fields and Cross Keys inside the City of Moonee Valley. Name the street when you call and we will tell you whether a plumber can reach you today.
Every System We Service, and the Brands We Fit
Whatever is heating your water, we repair it and we replace it: gas storage and gas continuous-flow, electric storage, solar with a gas or electric boost. Strathmore’s older homes mostly run gas, often in a tight outdoor cupboard where a slim continuous-flow unit frees up space, while newer builds around the suburb lean toward electric or solar. A gas unit might be a thermocouple, a faulty valve or a pilot that will not hold; an electric one is often the element or thermostat; a continuous-flow unit usually throws an error code that points straight to the fault. We carry common parts for the brands in most local homes, so a repair is often a single visit. Those brands include Rheem, Rinnai, Bosch, Dux, Aquamax, Chromagen and Thermann. If a part is obsolete or the unit is too far gone, we say so rather than sink your money into a dead system.

When One More Repair Is Throwing Good Money After Bad
A newer system with one worn part is almost always worth repairing. It gets harder once a unit is past about a decade, rusting at the base, or back for its third fault in a season. As a rough rule, if a repair tops about half the price of a new unit, or the same fault keeps returning, replacing saves money over the next few years. Older units also burn more energy, adding to every bill.
We saw exactly that on one job. A unit dating to 1995 kept dropping its pilot, and the owner’s husband had relit it three times in a single week before giving up and ringing us. The honest fix was not another pilot repair. We talked the household through a continuous-flow upgrade so no one would light a pilot again, rerouted the pipework, removed the old unit, and freed up the space it had been hogging on the side of the house. Hot water was back the same day, well before dinner. That is the call every time: repair when a repair will last, upgrade when the old unit will only fail again.
Before You Replace, Check the Victorian Government Rebate
Swapping an old gas or electric tank for solar is where the running-cost savings are biggest. Replacing an inefficient unit with an eligible solar hot water system can attract a current Victorian Government rebate, offered through Solar Victoria and the Victorian Energy Upgrades program. We do not quote the figure or the eligibility rules here, because both change over time: check Solar Victoria for current eligibility and figures at solar.vic.gov.au, with background at energy.gov.au. For an old unit on borrowed time, that is often the gap between patching it and affording a far cheaper one to run.
A Couple of Safe Checks, Then a Licensed Plumber
When there is no hot water at all, a couple of safe checks are worth a minute before you call. For a gas unit, see whether the pilot is lit and the gas is on at the isolation valve; for an electric one, check the switchboard in case the circuit has tripped, and that the unit’s own switch is on. If you can smell gas, treat it as urgent: leave switches alone, open up for air, get everyone outside, and call us, plus the gas emergency line if the smell is strong.
Past those checks, hot water is a licensed plumber’s job, not a handyman’s and not, on its own, an electrician’s. In Victoria the water connections, the gas side of a gas unit, and the tempering and pressure-relief valves are all licensed plumbing and gasfitting work. An electric changeover is the exception: there a licensed electrician handles the wiring while the plumber does the rest, and we coordinate it into a single visit. Booking a licensed plumber from the start keeps the install compliant and the warranty intact.
The Price You're Quoted Is the Price You Pay
Cost is the first question, and the honest answer is that it depends on what has failed and what you decide to do. A thermostat swap and a full solar install are not the same job, so a figure quoted down the phone, sight unseen, is only a guess. A plumber looks at the unit first, talks you through repair against replacement, and puts a single price in writing for you to approve before any work begins. The figure you sign off is the figure you pay, held to our price guarantee, with the call-out included and nothing added at the end.

Hot Water Questions From Strathmore and Strathmore Heights
For almost every system, a licensed plumber. In Victoria the water connections, the valves and the gas side of a gas unit are all licensed plumbing and gasfitting work. The one exception is an electric changeover, where a licensed electrician wires the unit and the plumber handles the rest, which we arrange in a single visit.
As a guide, a storage tank tends to last around a decade, sometimes longer, while a continuous-flow unit can run longer again with servicing. Sediment and a unit undersized for the household both shorten that. Once you are past that mark and faults start repeating, it is worth pricing a replacement next to the repair.
Often, yes, when you replace an old unit with an eligible solar hot water system, through Solar Victoria and the Victorian Energy Upgrades program. Eligibility and the amount change over time, so check solar.vic.gov.au for the current details. We will confirm whether your chosen system qualifies and build the rebate into the quote.
Yes. Strathmore and Strathmore Heights are separate localities on the one postcode, and we treat them as one service area for hot water, the same plumbers and the same pricing, along with nearby Essendon and the rest of the City of Moonee Valley.
