Types of Hot Water Systems We Service

Fast Direct Plumbing services all major hot water system types, and we provide a same-day repair no matter what unit is installed in your Epping home and business.

Electric Water Heaters

Electric systems are a popular, energy-efficient, and reliable choice across suburbs like Epping. If your unit is leaking, not heating, or needs upgrading, our licensed plumber team can:

  • 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.

  • Expert fault diagnosis and error code resolution.
  • Component replacement and de-scaling services.

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.

We called Fast Direct Plumbing for an emergency issue at 7:30pm on a weekday. John arrived promptly and provided excellent service. He was efficient and thorough, and took time to explain the multiple issues we had and the work he had done. As we are renting, he provided a detailed report with the invoice which he sent to our real estate agent that evening, as well as calling them the next morning to follow up and explain the report over the phone. We did have to pay the invoice on the night, but John's follow up with our agent made it very easy to be reimbursed fairly quickly. We highly recommend John and couldn't be happier with the service we received. Thank you!

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.
