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.

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.

Very efficient, prompt communication, friendly . Had a quote by Daniel and Christian, they were do thorough and explained everything simply. I had a quote by another company first. Daniels quote was half the price. The guy from the first quote, not pick up any issues, that Daniel and Christian had, which was fantastic, so I knew what was going on. You will not be disappointed at all, Very highly recommend them.

I would give more than five stars if I could. John initially came out to provide a quote for a toilet replacement, and during that visit I mentioned I’d been let down badly by another company that had installed my hot water system. There was a gas leak, and despite repeated attempts over 4 days, they failed to return and fix the issue.
John stepped in and fixed the gas leak on the spot, which was a huge relief. Two days later, he returned and installed two new toilets. The work was completed cleanly and professionally, and the pricing was very fair.
Most importantly, John is incredibly trustworthy — something that’s hard to find. Thank you so much, John!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Jeanny! We truly appreciate your kind words and are glad to hear about your positive experience with John. It's wonderful to know that he could help you with both the gas leak and the toilet installation. Your trust 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.
