Hot Water Systems
At Paterson Plumbing, we help Adelaide homeowners choose, install, and maintain reliable hot water systems that deliver comfort, efficiency, and long-term value.
Hot water makes up around 25% of household energy use, which means the right system can save you hundreds every year.
Modern options like heat pumps and solar hot water are leading the way in energy savings. A heat pump can cut running costs by up to 73%, while solar systems can reduce energy use by 65%. Compare that to older electric or gas storage units — which can cost more than four times as much to run — and the benefits are clear.
We supply, install, and service all types of hot water systems:
- Electric & Gas Storage– upgrades, replacements, and servicing
- Solar Hot Water– with or without gas boosters
- Heat Pump Hot Water– energy-efficient and solar-compatible

FAQs
What types of hot water systems do you install?
We supply and install gas, electric, solar, and heat pump hot water systems across Adelaide.
How do I know when my hot water system needs replacing?
Signs include inconsistent heating, leaks, rust, or if the unit is more than 10–15 years old.
Can you replace a failed hot water system quickly?
Yes, our vans are fully stocked, allowing us to carry out urgent replacements and restore hot water fast.
How long do hot water systems last?
Most hot water systems running on a mains water supply last 8–12 years depending on the type, brand, and how well they’re maintained. Regular servicing can extend the life of your system and reduce the risk of sudden breakdowns. Systems connected to filtered water or rainwater can last considerably longer, as there is less mineral build-up and corrosion inside the tank.
