  • Install, repair, and maintain with all major brands.
  • Quickly diagnose electrical faults and tank leaks.
  • Replace old units with new, energy-efficient models.

  • Fixing leaks and quickly resolving temperature fluctuations on the spot.
  • Certified gas fitting for new unit installation and safety checks.

Our Water Heater Installation & Maintenance Process

If you’re performing routine maintenance or installing a brand-new unit, our process is designed for safety, efficiency, and compliance.

Routine Maintenance & Inspection

For your existing systems, we provide a thorough maintenance check:

  • We safely remove and responsibly dispose of the old system.
  • We fit the new hot water system properly, ensuring secure positioning and correct venting.
  • We connect it safely to your home's water and gas/electric supply.

When to Repair vs Replace Your Water Heater

Deciding whether to repair or replace your unit is a financial crossroads of every Epping homeowner faces. Fast Direct Plumbing provides transparent advice to guarantee you make the smartest long-term choice.

If your system is under eight years old and experiencing only minor, isolated issues like a faulty element or pilot light trouble, a cost-effective hot water repair may be all that's needed to extend its life. However, a replacement becomes the smarter long-term choice if your unit is leaking, showing visible rust, or is suddenly costing you more in gas or power bills. Modern, energy-efficient units quickly offset the installation cost through lower utility usage.

Our team will help you decide and make a good choice when it comes to your hot water system unit. We will always give you honest recommendations based on your budget and household needs, making sure that you get a reliable, long-lasting hot water system solution.

Roseanne Matson
Daniel from Fast Direct Plumbing was outstanding. He answered my call outside of business hours when I was completely frazzled about a leaking shower over the bath and he calmly talked me through everything. Daniel was onsite the very next day.

Daniel not only knows the ins and outs of plumbing, but also has a vast knowledge of real estate, insurance, and body corporates, which was incredibly helpful. He was extremely thorough in his investigation and report, leaving no stone unturned. He also came equipped with the latest equipment and technology, which allowed him to produce a detailed, accurate, and professional report.

Throughout the process, Daniel was patient and explained everything clearly as he was doing it, in a way I could easily understand. I look forward to working with Fast Direct Plumbing to enhance my bathroom and I would confidently recommend Daniel and the team to anyone going forward.
Response from the owner:Hey Rosie,
Thank you for sharing your experience! We really appreciate it.

Situations like that can be stressful, especially when they happen outside normal hours. We are glad Daniel was able to step in quickly, talk things through clearly and get onsite the next day. Being thorough, calm and transparent is exactly how we believe these situations should be handled.

We’re also pleased to hear the investigation and reporting process was helpful. Taking the time to look at the full picture and explain things in plain language is something we value highly, especially when real estate, insurance or body corporate matters are involved.

Thanks again for the recommendation. We look forward to working with you on the next stage of your shower rebuild, and transforming the space into something you’ll genuinely love using every day.

Daniel was recommended by a friend and did an excellent job. He was very professional, explained the issue clearly, and even taught me a few things. He went beyond my expectations and I highly recommend him!
Response from the owner:Hi Simone,
We really appreciate you sharing this.

Referrals mean a lot to us, so it’s great to hear the recommendation lived up to expectations. Clear explanations, professionalism and leaving our valued customers better informed is exactly how we aim to operate on every job.

Thanks for the trust and the recommendation, we’re glad we could help.

Sandra Qian
Fast Direct Plumbing installed a new shower in my home, carried out some minor upgrades to a sink and also conducted an inspection of another second shower. I was extremely impressed with their service and professionalism. Not only was the work completed to a very high standard, but the entire team was consistently thorough in their diagnosis and clear in explaining each step of the process. Every team member was professional, courteous, and considerate throughout. I would highly recommend this company.
Response from the owner:Hi Sandra,
Thanks so much for the great review.

We’re really glad you were happy with the work and the way our team explained everything along the way. Providing clear communication, thorough inspections, and high-quality workmanship is what we do on every job, so it’s great to hear that came through.

David Squires
We called Fast Direct Plumbing for 2 blocked showers/toilets and basins for a second level apartment in Cheltenham Vic so we knew it would be tricky to fix. Daniel came out to see the apartment 4 hours after the initial call which was fast service. Communication was great at all times. Daniel brought the latest Tech equipment, cameras etc specifically for apartments and he was able to quote exactly up front the cost, which never wavered even though it became a 4 hour job. Daniel was very friendly, genuine, plus he showed us all the issues then fixed them all very professionally. No hesitation in recommending them for others, noting it was the first time we had ever used this Company. David
Response from the owner:Hi David,
Thank you for the great review and for trusting Fast Direct Plumbing, especially for a complex apartment drainage issue.

Multi level apartments can definitely be challenging! So clear communication, the right equipment and accurate upfront pricing are critical. We’re glad our response time, transparency and ability to diagnose and fix everything properly made the process smooth for you, even when the job took longer than expected.

Our team takes a lot of pride in showing customers exactly what’s going on and standing by our quoted price. Hearing that this was your first experience with us and that you’d confidently recommend our service means a great deal to everyone here.

Thanks again for choosing Fast Direct Plumbing. If you ever need us in the future, we’re always happy to help. -The Fast Direct Team

Burst pipe on a Sunday! Daniel arrived within the hour, he was meticulous in his investigation and efficient and effective in the management of the issue. He provided comprehensive explanation and planning throughout the several hours he attended. Will definitely be using Fast Direct Plumbing again.
Response from the owner:Hi Lyn,
Thank you for the fantastic feedback. Emergencies never happen at a convenient time, so we’re glad we could respond quickly and manage everything thoroughly from start to finish. Taking the time to properly investigate and explain the issue is something we strongly believe in, so it’s great to hear that stood out for you. We really appreciate your trust and look forward to helping again whenever needed.

frequently asked questions

Fast Direct Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency plumbing services, ensuring your issues are resolved promptly and professionally—no matter the time of day. Enjoy peace of mind with their fast response and transparent pricing.

How often should I have my plumbing inspected?

It's a good idea to have your plumbing inspected by a professional at least once a year. Regular inspections can help identify potential problems early, such as leaks, corrosion, and blockages, which can prevent costly repairs in the future.


How can I avoid clogged drains?

To avoid clogged drains, be mindful of what you put down them. Avoid pouring grease, oil, and coffee grounds down the kitchen sink. Regularly clean the screens and consider using a natural drain cleaner, such as a mixture of baking soda and vinegar, to maintain clear pipes.


When should I call an emergency plumber?

It's best to call our emergency plumbers if you face urgent issues like burst pipes, sewage backups, flooding, no water supply, or overflowing toilets. These situations can cause major damage or pose health risks. Acting quickly helps prevent further damage and costly repairs. Our team will answer your call and arrive the same day.
