When the hot water goes down in a building, the calls start straight away. We install, service and repair communal hot water systems for strata and commercial properties, and keep them running so your residents and tenants aren't left cold.
A communal system has to deliver for dozens of units at once, often around the clock. We look after gas, electric and heat pump hot water for strata and commercial buildings, from regular servicing that heads off breakdowns to full replacements when a system has had its day.
When it's time to upgrade we'll talk you through running costs, recovery rates and the rebates on offer, so the system you put in suits the building and the budget rather than just being the cheapest unit on the day.
Communal systems live in plant rooms, on rooftops and in basement cupboards, feeding hot water through ring mains to every unit. When one is undersized or poorly maintained, residents notice it first thing in the morning when the hot water runs out.
We service and repair these systems, sort out failing circulation pumps and valves, and when it's time to replace, size the new system to how the building actually uses hot water.
Owners and tenants don't think about the hot water system until it stops working. Regular servicing keeps it running through winter and catches small faults before they become a no-hot-water callout for the whole building.
We also check tempering valves so the water reaching bathrooms stays at a safe temperature, which matters for both comfort and compliance.
How we look after a building's hot water.
We check the existing system, how the building uses hot water and where the current setup is falling short.
We lay out the options, gas, electric or heat pump, with the running costs and any rebates, and a clear price.
We carry out the work with as little downtime to the building as possible, and commission it properly.
We can set up a servicing schedule so the system keeps running and small issues get caught early.
