Solar Hot Water
Solar hot water systems harness sunlight to reduce water heating costs by up to 85%. Our passive solar installations combine Rheem-certified components with customised designs for optimal efficiency. Systems integrate seamlessly with gas or wood-fired boosters for year-round reliability, particularly suited to off-grid properties requiring low-energy consumption solutions.
Heat Pumps
Heat pump systems cut water heating costs by 75% using ambient air energy. These electrically powered units operate efficiently even in low sunlight conditions. Our installations include pressure-optimised configurations for off-grid homes, ensuring consistent hot water supply while minimising power draw from solar or battery systems.
Off-Grid Solutions
Comprehensive off-grid hot water and energy systems designed for remote properties. Services include solar-boosted gas integration, header tank pressure management, and effluent disposal planning. With 40 years of plumbing experience, we deliver custom designs that balance energy efficiency with practical water pressure requirements for self-sufficient living.
Instant Gas
Continuous flow gas hot water systems provide on-demand heating in various sizes. Ideal for properties with fluctuating water pressure, these units deliver instant hot water without storage tank limitations. Our installations ensure compatibility with solar pre-heating systems, optimising energy savings while maintaining 24/7 availability.
Electric Storage
Durable electric hot water storage tanks with stainless steel options offering up to 12-year warranties. Available in multiple capacities, these systems suit properties with consistent energy supply. Our installations include insulation upgrades and smart controllers to reduce standby heat loss, enhancing efficiency for both grid-connected and hybrid solar-electric setups.

In response to Brians response you could also contact Rheem (who had contracted Brian to do the work). I have an apology from them for his behaviour and received $$ compensation due to his un professional, dissatisfying incompetent and rude performance.

We had a problem with our hot water system not heating up from the solar panels. Brian was very prompt in getting back to us and booking a day. He identified the problem instantly and fixed it really quickly. Its sometimes hard to find a good tradie and such a relief when you do. Will always call Brain first.

Contacted Brian after I was informed by my local plumber that I needed a new tank for my solar hot water system , Brian quickly diagnosed the problem and the fix as well he supplied the new silicon washers to do it for free so I went from needing a new tank to fixing it ourselves . I would highly recommend Brian weather it be a new installation or for good honest service.

I couldn't have had a better, cheaper professional installation and later a free backup service with a small leak some years down the track from this company. Highly recommended. Company owner Brian Grebart is someone I had never met previously, and did an excellent job.
