  • Save More Money
    The higher energy efficiency of water instant heaters reduces the electricity bills for homes where they are installed, saving the homeowner money in the long term.

    Corrosion of the water tank or a problem with the connections is one of the reasons that cause water heaters to leak.  These problems are less likely to happen in instant water heaters.

needed to replace a leaking water heater storage tank urgently. Vendor was able to quickly scheduled an earliest date/time for installation like on 9 Aug (i contacted them on 7 Aug)! Appreciate that alot!Work was well done. Initially the tank was a little slanted - saw it at the end when the job was completed. Told the installer that it looks slanted and he immediately proceed to adjust it willingly and without hesitation (the re-adjustment requires him to remove the connected piping and screws again, which is alot of work). It was a job well done!

Was informed by an electrician who was helping us with a power trip that our leaking storage water heater was a safety hazard and needed to be replaced asap. Contacted water heater city via WA on the same day in the evening and got a very quick response and a slot to change the water heater the following day. The technician Casmir arrived on time and proceeded to change the heater efficiently and professionally. Would recommend

Unfortunately my 8 year old water heater kaput and tripped the breaker last night. Googled storage water heaters and found out about these guys. So, enquired them on their services and was replied back on the next morning(Sunday). Asked him for a recommendation and was quoted another similar model from Rubine. Arranged for an installation appointment and to my surprise a slot in the afternoon on the same day was given.Installer who is Mr Pandian gave a call and requested if he could come earlier which is better news for me since I need to go out in the evening. He came on the newly arranged time and within an hour everything was done. He even helped to clear up the dust in the toilet caused by the drilling of the wall. Thumbs up to this guy!Overall wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company for your water heater needs! Fast and efficient service!
