  • Install, repair, and maintain with all major brands.
  • Quickly diagnose electrical faults and tank leaks.

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.

  • 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.

Tony and Erin from Fast Direct Plumbing did an excellent job on my shower breach and water pressure issues. They were always happy to answer my plumbing questions and they cleaned up which was great. Both plumbers made the experience as stressfree and relaxed as possible which was great since I was WFH throughout the job. Big thanks to both of you.

John and Daniel were wonderful. Honestly, the best experience I have ever had with tradies. We had a major plumbing issue and they stepped up, over the long weekend, and fixed it for me. They were both so polite, respectful, kind, honest, patient and hard working. They went above and beyond. They did a great job but also ensured when they had finished that they thoroughly cleaned up inside and outside the house. The work required digging up part of our garden but they were conscious of our garden and plants and replaced them when they finished. When fixing the issue, they also completed the repair to enable better management moving forward. John and Daniel were fantastic and I would highly recommend them.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Freya! We truly appreciate your kind words about John and Daniel. It's wonderful to hear that they provided you with such a positive experience and took great care of your home and garden. Your recommendation means a lot to us! - Fast Direct Plumbing Team

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.
