Gas or electric hot water systems need servicing? Easy.

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, Vulcan and Zip.

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.

Explained the problem and quoted the cost before carrying out any work.Thanks for the help.Highly recommend Inner City PlumbingLouis ClayLouis Clay ★★★★★ Shane was on time, found the problem and fixed it quickly - great service from Inner City Plumbing.Cameron MiltonCameron Milton ★★★★★ Inner City Plumbing were fantastic, everything from booking in the appointment, to the plumbers Jack and Lauchlan turning up on time, giving advice, and honestly working hard, would call them again any day of the week if I or when I need another plumbing problem resolved. I highly recommend themTsets GibbonsTsets Gibbons ★★★★★ David BruceDavid Bruce ★★★★★ Quick, efficient and friendly and most importantly did an excellent job.Nathan ChaniagoNathan Chaniago ★★★★★ Just got off the phone with Inner City Plumbing, where they saved me a few grand. Was looking to get drain grates installed on my roof. I had a previous plumber quote me a suspicious price, so I wanted a second opinion. Called up Inner City where I was redirected to Sam. After some back and forth, he explained that it was something I could easily do myself for a fraction of the cost. They could've easily charged for a visit, but instead just gave me honest and practical advice.Sean SextonSean Sexton ★★★★★ I couldn’t say enough good things about Shane, and Inner City Plumbing. Bang on time, fixed what needed to be fixed and saved me from botching replacing the shower head myself. Chilled, happy to answer questions, his ultra positive early morning vibes got the bathroom back to 100% in next to no time. Thanks so much. Cheers. Sean.Aaron MorrisonAaron Morrison ★★★★★ Inner City Plumbing were absolutely outstanding!! We needed emergency plumbing after the sewer surged back into our wet areas and flooded the floor.
