Gas Hot Water Systems Perth
Fast, reliable hot water, sized properly for your home
If you've ever stood under a shower that's gone from steaming to lukewarm halfway through, you know how frustrating an unreliable hot water system can be. Andrew fits and repairs gas hot water systems across the Hills, sizes the unit properly for your household, and quotes it upfront before any work starts.
Signs You Need a New Gas Hot Water System
There are usually a few warning signs before a gas hot water system gives up completely. Any one of these is worth getting checked before you're left with a cold shower and no warning.
01
No Hot Water, or the Pilot Won't Stay Lit
The most obvious sign, and often the one that gets you calling straight away.
02
Hot Water That Doesn't Last
The tank's not holding what it used to, or recovery between showers has slowed right down.
03
Rust or Discolouration Around the Unit
Rust, staining or corrosion around the unit is worth getting checked, particularly on an older system.
04
The Unit's Getting On
Most gas storage systems are rated for around 10-12 years. If yours is past that, it's worth having a look before it fails on you.
Not quite ready for a new system?
If your unit's still got some life left, a repair might be all it needs rather than a full replacement. Andrew can tell you straight whether it's worth fixing or worth replacing, no pressure either way.

Why Perth Hills Households Choose Gas
Much of the Perth Hills isn't connected to mains gas, so bottled LPG is often the only gas option, and it can cost more to run than other systems. That doesn't mean gas is never the right call, there are situations where LPG really is the most practical option, and Andrew can talk you through those. But we won't recommend gas simply because it's what you've always had. For a lot of homes, a modern electric storage system with app-based controls, especially paired with solar PV, ends up being the more cost-effective option, so it's worth comparing before committing to a like-for-like swap. We install and service gas hot water systems from Rheem, Rinnai, Bosch, Dux, Vulcan and Thermann.

Compare the Other Hot Water Systems
Not sure gas is the right fit? Here’s how it stacks up against the other systems Andrew installs across the Hills:
- Electric Storage hot water systems: a simple and reliable option that doesn’t require a gas connection. Add an app-based timer and solar PV, and you can make the most of your available solar power.
- Heat pump hot water systems: highly energy efficient and generally cheaper to run, but with a higher upfront cost and more moving parts than a standard electric system. Andrew can talk you through whether the energy savings and long-term running costs make sense for your home.
- Instant gas hot water systems: heats water as you use it, providing continuous hot water without relying on a storage tank.
- Instant electric hot water systems: provides hot water without gas or a storage tank, and can be a practical option for smaller homes, kitchens, bathrooms or additions.
What Perth Hills Customers Say
“Best. Shower. Ever. We had been without hot water since the storm, about a week, hideous. Andrew managed to secure the last hot water system model in the state for us, otherwise we would have had to wait much longer, so grateful. Andrew and his team were extremely professional, fast and the whole process was painless. Highly recommend Andrew, AH Plumbing & Gas Service.”

Gas Hot Water Systems Across the Perth Hills
Whether you're on mains gas or running bottled LPG changes what's involved in a swap, and that can vary block by block rather than suburb by suburb. Andrew will confirm what you've got connected and factor in things like cylinder placement, delivery access or gas line runs when he quotes the job, wherever you're based across the Hills.
