A house only becomes a home when it finally gets hot water. We’d argue hot water is the lifeblood of any building, from apartments and hotels to restaurants and gyms. Whether you’ve recently installed a new hot water system or have an older yet trusty model, you’ve got to make sure it runs smoothly for as long as you need it. We’ll make sure it does.

Inner City Plumber’s hot water specialists are capable of servicing all makes and models of hot water systems, from single residential units to connected commercial systems. We service all types of hot water systems and all brands, including; Aquamax, Bosch, Dux, Rheem, Rinnai and Vulcan.

We’ll guarantee your hot water systems are impeccable

Servicing a hot water system takes more than just a quick look. The more complex the system, the more comprehensive the servicing, but even single heating units require careful attention to detail. Our plumbers and licensed gas fitters will ensure every pipe, fitting, screw, and tank are perfectly secure and capable of meeting your hot water demands.

Our service areas

‘Inner City Plumbing’ is a spot-on name for a plumber operating within the inner city. That’s why we picked it thirty years ago. Of course, our operation has expanded quite a bit since then.

Today, we’re still based in the inner-city suburb of Abbotsford, but our always-equipped service teams patrol nearly 170 suburbs stretching from the Melbourne CBD to the outer suburbs.

Wide as our service area is, you better believe we still guarantee our one-hour emergency response time.

Frequently asked questions

You should have your hot water system serviced at least once a year.

A yearly service should be fine for residential settings with low to medium usage. But in high-use commercial or industrial settings, you may need to have your hot water units serviced every six months. After our initial on-site consultation, we can advise you on the most appropriate schedule for your needs.

Yes, we are. Our plumbers are also licensed gas fitters, and we can have your gas hot water system installed and maintained safely and correctly.
