Please Install My New Electric Hot Water System

🚨 Would You Buy a Brand-New Car If You Had to Assemble It Yourself? Then Why Install an Electric Hot Water System Without Professional Help? 🚨

Buying an electric hot water system is just the first step—getting it installed correctly ensures efficiency, safety, and compliance. Without professional installation, you could be facing wiring issues, leaks, inefficiencies, or even serious electrical hazards. That’s why we offer a straightforward installation package—we install what you buy, ensuring your system is set up professionally, safely, and to code.

⚡ We Install What You Buy – No Hidden Extras, Just Professional Installation

When you purchase an installation package, it covers the labor to professionally fit your purchased system and accessories. We don’t supply any fittings, valves, or pipework—those must be purchased separately—but if you’ve got everything you need from us, we’ll ensure it’s installed correctly, safely, and in full compliance.

✅ What’s Included in Your Installation Package?

✔️ Installation of your purchased electric hot water system (must be an external, like-for-like replacement).
✔️ Fitting of any purchased valve kits or accessories (if purchased).
✔️ Electrical disconnect/reconnect (for like-for-like electric storage or heat pump systems).
✔️ Compliance Assessment & Certification (if applicable).
✔️ Submission of QBCC Form 4 & Payment of Fees (where required).
✔️ Removal of the old unit (disposal available as an add-on at checkout).

💡 Bonus Offer!
If you add a valve kit to your order, we’ll include 2m of pipework—installed—so your system is set up neatly and runs at its best!

🔧 Installation Terms & Conditions – Read Before Booking!

🚨 Like-for-Like Replacements Only – The system must be a direct replacement of the same type and in the same external location unless modifications are pre-approved.

🔧 What’s NOT Included:
❌ No fittings, valves, or pipework provided—these must be purchased separately.
❌ No relocation or plumbing modifications unless pre-approved.
❌ No circuit upgrades or electrical modifications unless purchased separately.

⚠️ Access Requirements:
🏡 Installation must be ground-floor external only with clear access.
🚧 Any installs requiring stairs, steep driveways, or difficult access require a pre-paid $300 two-man team fee.

⚡ What Counts as a Like-for-Like Replacement?

✔️ Electric Storage → Electric Storage
✔️ Electric Storage → Heat Pump
✔️ Heat Pump → Heat Pump
✔️ Heat Pump → Electric Storage
✔️ Gas Storage → Heat Pump/Electric (requires new circuit—must be purchased)
✔️ Continuous Flow → Heat Pump/Electric (requires new circuit & support base—must be purchased)

🚨 IMPORTANT: If the system type or electrical load changes, additional electrical work is required.
🔌 You must purchase an electrical extension package for any system requiring rewiring or circuit upgrades (e.g., heat pump to electric conversions, or electric storage systems with inadequate cabling for the new unit). This work can no longer be completed under a restricted electrical disconnect/reconnect license.

📜 What’s Required for a Fully Compliant Installation?

A compliant electric hot water installation isn’t just about swapping one system for another—it must meet all safety, plumbing, and electrical regulations to ensure efficiency, reliability, and long-term performance. Below are the key requirements your setup must meet before installation can proceed.

⚠️ Before Installation Begins, Your System Must Have:

✔️ A Compliant Location:

• The system must be external unless an internal installation add-on has been purchased.
• The unit must be installed in the same location as the existing system unless modifications have been approved.
• If relocating, additional plumbing/electrical work is required (must be pre-approved and purchased separately).

✔️ A Solid & Level Base:

• The system must be installed on a level, manufacturer-approved base (e.g., concrete slab or plastic base).
• If no suitable base is present, a new base must be purchased and installed before installation.

✔️ Compliant PTR/ECV Drain Lines:

• Pressure & Temperature Relief (PTR) and Expansion Control Valve (ECV) drain lines must be correctly installed and terminate into a sewer, rubble pit, or stormwater drain.
• If they currently discharge onto the ground or an incorrect outlet, they must be within 2m of the system or be rectified before installation.

✔️ Valves in Good Working Order:

• All required valves—tempering valve, expansion control valve, pressure limiting valve, isolation/non-return valve—must be in good condition.
• If existing valves are faulty, missing, or non-compliant, a valve kit must be purchased with your order.

✔️ Adequate Electrical Supply:

• The existing circuit must have sufficient capacity for the new system.
• The electrical cable must be long enough to reach the connection point of the new unit.
• If the new system requires a higher electrical load, rewiring, or circuit extensions, an electrical extension package must be purchased.

✔️ Safe & Clear Access:

• Installation must be ground-floor external only with no access obstructions.
• If the unit needs to be moved via stairs, steep driveways, or through restricted areas, a $300 two-man team fee applies (must be pre-purchased).

🚨 IMPORTANT: If Your System Does Not Meet These Requirements…

• Installation may be delayed or deemed non-compliant.
• Additional work, accessories, or valve kits must be purchased before installation can proceed.
• Non-refundable call-out fees may apply if our technicians arrive and installation cannot proceed due to non-compliance.
