Time for a New One?
A New Gas System, Fitted Properly
Many hot water systems are replaced in a hurry, when the old one fails without warning. Others are swapped on the owner’s terms, before a leaking tank turns into a flooded laundry. Either way, the goal is the right system for the home, fitted to the rules.
Epi replaces gas storage and continuous flow systems running on natural gas or LPG, and Rheem is the main brand he fits. As your local Atwell plumber, he also covers the leaks, taps, toilets and gas fitting around the rest of the house.
Before anything is ordered, he looks at how many people use hot water, where the unit sits and what gas supply the house has. You get a free quote for the system that suits the home, not the biggest one on offer.
Signs to Watch
When Is It Time to Replace?
Some faults are worth repairing and some are not. These four signs usually mean a new hot water system is the better spend.
A Leaking Tank
What you noticeWater seeping from the body of a storage tank, not from a valve or fitting.
What Epi suggestsReplacement. A tank that leaks from its body can’t be repaired.
Rust and Corrosion
What you noticeRust streaks on the casing, rusty water from the hot tap or corrosion around the base.
What Epi suggestsA close look at the tank. Rust showing outside often means the inside is going too.
Repeat Breakdowns
What you noticeThe same system needing repairs again and again, each one costing more than the last.
What Epi suggestsAn honest comparison of one more repair against a new system.
Not Enough Hot Water
What you noticeHot water running out before everyone has showered, often after the household has grown.
What Epi suggestsA bigger tank or a switch to continuous flow, sized to the household.
Local Feedback
Homeowners on Working With Epi
Every review Epi has on Google is five stars. Here is what homeowners say, in their own words.
5-Star Rated on Google
Epi was quick and efficient. Changed out the tap and noticed that one of the other hoses under our sink was worn. Caught it before it burst and saved us a big clean up and bill. Good quality work and reliable, use him for all our maintenance and Reno's from now on.
Had my whole house in Yanchep plumbed by him and his team and couldn’t be happier with the work. Great service, quality workmanship and easy to deal with throughout the job. Would happily recommend them to anyone needing a plumber!
Outstanding Service – Highly Recommended
I couldn’t be happier with the service provided. From start to finish, the plumber was professional, reliable, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. The quality of the workmanship was excellent, and everything was completed with great attention to detail.
They took the time to explain the work clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure everything was done properly. It’s refreshing to deal with someone who takes pride in their work, genuinely cares about their customers, and goes above and beyond expectations.
If you’re looking for a trustworthy plumber who delivers quality work and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend them. I wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again.
Top class service from start to finish, highly recommend!
Choosing a System
Storage or Continuous Flow?
Most replacements start with one question: stay with the same type, or switch? Epi talks through what each one means for the home before you choose.
Gas Storage
Heats a tank of water and keeps it ready. Suits homes that use a lot of hot water at once.
Gas Continuous Flow
Heats water only as you use it, so it doesn’t run out. Compact and mounted on a wall.
Like-for-Like Swaps
The same type in the same spot, usually the simplest change with the least new pipework.
Switching Types
Moving from storage to continuous flow can mean new gas and water pipework, which Epi plans first.
Natural Gas or LPG
The new system is set up for the gas the home runs on, mains natural gas or bottled LPG.
Sized to the Household
Tank size or flow rate matched to how many people shower and how many taps run at once.

Epi looks at the household, the space and the gas supply, then recommends a system and gives you a free quote.
Notice Lodged
A water heater replacement is notifiable in WA, so a Notice of Intention goes in before the work starts.
New System Fitted
The new unit is fitted and connected to the gas and water, with a tempering valve where the rules call for one.
Tested and Signed Off
The system is fired up and tested, the certificates follow, and the work carries a 12 month guarantee.
WA Rules
The Paperwork Behind a New System
In WA, replacing a water heater is notifiable plumbing work, even when the new unit goes in the same spot. The plumbing contractor lodges a Notice of Intention before the job and a Certificate of Compliance within five working days, with a copy for the owner.
Fitting a gas water heater is gasfitting work too. Every gas installation Epi completes comes with a Notice of Completion, lodged within 48 hours and copied to you.
A replacement also brings in WA’s bathroom temperature rule. Hot water to the shower and bath must arrive at no more than 50 °C, which usually means a tempering valve. Epi explains what the home needs before he quotes.

Good to Know
Questions About Hot Water Replacement
Straight answers about choosing, fitting and signing off a new gas system. Can’t see your question? Call or send the form.
How do I know if my hot water system needs replacing?
A tank leaking from its body, rust on the casing or in the water, and repeat breakdowns are the usual signs. A system that is too small for the household is a reason too. Epi will tell you honestly whether a repair or a hot water system replacement makes more sense.
Should I swap my storage system for continuous flow?
It depends on how the home uses hot water and what gas supply it has. Continuous flow heats water as you use it and doesn’t run out, while storage keeps a tank ready. Switching types can mean new pipework, so Epi talks through both before you decide.
How much does hot water system replacement cost in Atwell?
It depends on the type and size of the system and how much pipework changes. Epi gives you a free quote for hot water system replacement in Atwell before anything is ordered, so you know the cost up front.
Is a new hot water system covered by a warranty?
Yes. New systems are backed by the manufacturer’s warranty. Epi’s installation also carries a 12 month guarantee on parts and labour.

Yes. Epi replaces gas hot water systems across the Cockburn, Kwinana, Rockingham and Mandurah areas, including Baldivis, Wandi and Secret Harbour. Call and ask if you are not sure your street is covered.
