Hot Water system installations
Hot Water System Installations
Installing hot water systems is not as simple as just connecting a few pipes. In Queensland, regulations around hot water system installations are quite extensive compared to other states and territories in Australia. Every hot water replacement must comply with current Australian standards, which have changed since your original hot water heater was installed. In addition to the cost of the hot water system, there are also additional costs for the valves required and a mandatory council fee imposed on every home that has a hot water heater replaced, which we pay to the QBCC when submitting Form 4.
It’s important to ensure your hot water system is installed correctly to avoid voiding your manufacturer’s warranty and to ensure your system has a longer lifespan. At Hot Water Maroochydore, we include everything in our hot water system prices.

Every hot water installation must include:
- Tempering valve
- Pressure reduction valve
- Cold water expansion valve
- NRI valve
- Discharge drains to an approved point
- Hot water and drain pipes fully insulated
- QBCC form 4 fees paid
Gone are the days when your local plumber could simply replace your hot water heater on their way back from laying drains. Nowadays, every hot water system replacement must be carried out by a licensed plumber who also holds an electrical license to disconnect and reconnect the power. If you’re relocating the hot water system, you’re also required to install an electrical isolator next to it. This has been a mandatory requirement for all heat pump hot water system installations since 2019. Unfortunately, there are still unscrupulous and unlicensed operators who cut corners and avoid complying with regulations. This can void the manufacturer’s warranty and reduce the life expectancy of your hot water system. At Hot Water Maroochydore, we always include all the necessary requirements in our hot water system prices to ensure that your system is installed correctly and complies with all relevant regulations.
Make sure you don’t get caught out. Breaching the manufacturer’s warranty terms could render your hot water system invalid and reduce its lifespan. At Brisbane Hot Water Northside, we always include everything in our hot water system prices to ensure you’re fully covered.
