What’s Involved in a Donvale Hot Water Installation
Our Donvale hot water installations cover gas storage, electric, heat pump and continuous flow systems. We help you choose the right size and type for your household, remove and dispose of the old unit, and install the new system to standard — leak-tested, certified, and explained before we leave. We fit common Rheem, Rinnai, Bosch and Dux models, handle the gas and water connections, and lodge a Certificate of Compliance with the VBA on every gasfitting job.
-
It depends on your household size, how many bathrooms you run, and whether you have gas connected. We’ll talk through gas storage, electric, continuous flow and heat pump options, factor in running costs and any rebates, and recommend the right size so you’re not left short on hot water or paying for capacity you don’t need.
-
We supply and install the unit as one fixed-price job, so you get trade pricing and a single point of responsibility for the workmanship and the warranty. We mainly fit Rheem, Rinnai, Bosch and Dux. If you’ve already bought a unit we can usually install that too — just let us know the make and model when you call.
-
A straight like-for-like swap is usually done in a few hours. If we’re changing system type — say moving from electric to continuous flow, or relocating the unit — it can take most of the day because of new gas, water or electrical work. We’ll give you a clear time frame with your quote and aim for a same-day install wherever the job allows.
-
Often, yes — Victorian and federal incentives can apply to efficient systems like heat pumps, depending on the unit and your eligibility. The rules change from time to time, so we’ll let you know which current rebates your chosen system may qualify for and factor that into the quote so you can compare options properly.
-
Yes. We disconnect and take away the old system, install and commission the new one, and lodge the Certificate of Compliance with the VBA. You’re left with a registered manufacturer’s warranty on the unit plus our workmanship guarantee on the install — all sorted before we leave.
Our Process
Phone Consult — We ask about your household size, current unit, and where it’s located. Most of the time, we can give you a ballpark price on the phone.
On-Site Quote — We arrive within 24 hours, measure the install location, check gas line capacity, and email you a fixed written quote the same day.
Order & Book — We order your unit and book the install, usually within 48 hours of quote approval. Most Blackburn jobs are completed the same week.
Install Day — Most Blackburn installs take 2 to 4 hours. We commission the system, walk you through the controls, and lodge the Certificate of Compliance with the VBA within 48 hours.
