Solar Hot Water Systems

Solar hot water systems are becoming increasingly in-demand thanks to their eco-friendliness and potential for long-term energy savings. These systems use solar collectors to collect energy from the sun which is then used to heat water for your home or business. The main benefits of solar hot water systems include:

  • Reduced energy costs: By using the sun’s energy to heat water, solar systems can significantly reduce your reliance on gas or electricity, leading to lower energy bills.
  • Environmental sustainability: Solar hot water systems are a clean and renewable energy choice, helping to reduce your carbon footprint.
  • Government incentives: In many cases, installing a solar hot water system may qualify you for government rebates or incentives, making them more affordable.

Fast Direct Plumbing’s team of certified plumbers can assess your property’s suitability for a solar hot water system and provide installation and maintenance services when needed.

Electric Hot Water Systems

Electric hot water systems are a simple and reliable option. These systems use electric heating elements to heat water, which is then stored in an insulated tank for use. While they may not be as energy-efficient as gas or heat pump systems, electric hot water systems offer several advantages, including:

  • Easy installation: Electric systems are generally easier to install compared to gas systems, as they don’t require gas lines or ventilation.
  • Low upfront costs: The initial installation costs for electric hot water systems are typically lower than those of gas or heat pump systems.
  • Suitable for various properties: Electric systems are a good choice for properties without access to natural gas or those with limited outdoor space for a heat pump unit.

Our experienced plumbers can help you select the right electric hot water system for your property, so that it meets your hot water needs without exceeding your budget.

Heat Pump Hot Water Systems

For those looking for an eco-friendly and energy-efficient hot water system, heat pump hot water systems are an excellent choice. These systems work by extracting heat from the surrounding air and transferring it to the water, making them a sustainable option for residents and businesses alike. The benefits of heat pump hot water systems include:

  • Lower energy consumption: Heat pumps use significantly less energy compared to traditional electric hot water systems, resulting in lower energy bills.
  • Reduced carbon footprint: By using renewable energy from the air, heat pumps help reduce your household’s carbon footprint.
  • Versatile installation options: Heat pump hot water systems can be installed both indoors and outdoors, depending on your property’s layout and available space.

Fast Direct Plumbing’s team of experts can help you determine if a heat pump hot water system is the right choice for you. We’ll guide you through the selection, installation, and maintenance process for high performance and energy savings.

Gas Storage Hot Water System

Gas storage hot water systems are a reliable choice due to their efficiency and cost-effectiveness. These systems heat water using natural gas or LPG, storing it in an insulated tank for immediate use. The main advantages of gas storage hot water systems include:

  • Quick heating: Gas systems heat water faster than electric systems, offering a steady supply of hot water when you need it.
  • Energy efficiency: Gas is generally more cost-effective than electricity, resulting in lowered energy bills.
  • Reliable performance: Gas storage hot water systems are known for their durability and long-lasting performance.

Our team at Fast Direct Plumbing is well-equipped to install, repair, and maintain gas storage hot water systems in Ferntree Gully, Glen Iris and surroundings.

Common Signs Your Hot Water System Needs Repair

Recognising the signs your hot water system needs replacing can save you from unexpected cold showers and costly water damage. Watch for these warning indicators:

  • How long should a hot water system last in Australia? Most systems last 8-12 years, depending on maintenance and the hardness of the local water.
  • If your water temperature fluctuates or takes longer to heat, it may indicate sediment buildup or failing heating elements.
  • Rumbling, popping, or hissing sounds often signal sediment accumulation or component failure.
  • Even small leaks can lead to significant water damage and increased utility bills.
  • Discoloured water indicates internal corrosion requiring immediate attention.

Our technicians assess each situation individually during a hot water service in Ferntree Gully and Greensborough, providing honest recommendations based on cost-effectiveness and system condition.

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.

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.

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.
