Hot Water System Repairs Merrimac

When the hot water quits in Merrimac, school runs and M1 commutes get messy fast. Todd’s Plumbing & Electrical restores reliable hot water for townhouses, duplexes and family homes from Gooding Drive to Robina’s edge. We’re a family-run Gold Coast team, licensed in both plumbing and electrical, so one neat visit covers diagnosis, parts and a compliant repair — often the same day you call.

We work cleanly in compact garages and linen cupboards, coordinate with onsite managers/body corporate when needed, and protect floors and cabinetry while we’re on site.

Merrimac-specific faults we fix (and why they’re common here)

  • Electric storage — tired elements, drifting thermostats, nuisance RCD trips after brief brownouts; older reno switchboards don’t forgive weak elements.

  • Gas continuous flow — ignition and flow-sensor faults on balcony/sideway installs; marginal gas pressure on longer runs.

  • Solar hot water — booster not cutting in after cloudy afternoons, circulation pump/controller faults on older installs.

  • Heat pumps — loud dawn cycles in tight side courtyards, icing from poor airflow, low refrigerant, PCB faults.

  • Valves & temps — sticky tempering valves in rentals lead to “only warm” showers; TPR valves weeping in hot garages.

Why Merrimac sees these: many townhouse complexes with small hot-cupboards, M1-adjacent power blips, and a mix of older copper/gal lines feeding newer appliances — all of which stress elements, thermostats and valves.

Brands & parts on hand (so most jobs finish first visit)

We service Rheem, Rinnai, Dux, Aquamax, Vulcan, Thermann, Bosch, Envirosun, Everhot.
Vans carry elements, thermostats, anodes, TPR & tempering valves, dielectric fittings, unions and electrical sundries, so most repairs are wrapped up on the spot.

Local response across:

Urgent breakdown? We aim for same-day attendance where possible.

Quick decision guide: repair or replace?

  • Replace if the cylinder leaks, seam rust is visible, or the unit is 10–12+ years with repeat faults.

  • Repair when the tank is sound and it’s a single component (element, thermostat, TPR/tempering valve, solar pump/booster, heat-pump PCB).
    We’ll price both on site so you can choose with confidence.

FAQ – Hot Water Repairs Merrimac

1) Our townhouse cupboard tank trips the safety switch. Dangerous?

Usually a failed element or moisture causing earth leakage. We test the element, thermostat and RCD and repair safely.

2) Showers are only warm in the evening on off-peak power.

Commonly a tired element or low thermostat set-point; we test elements and confirm the off-peak relay is functioning.

3) Gas continuous-flow on the side path won’t heat properly.

We check gas pressure, clean sensors/burners and descale the heat exchanger if needed — sideway installs attract dust and moisture

4) Solar hot water is lukewarm after cloudy days.

Likely pump/controller issues or a booster not engaging. We test sensors, circulation and booster supply.

5) Heat pump noisy at dawn — normal?

Some hum is fine; persistent noise suggests fan bearings, mounts or icing. We service and re-commission.

6) Can you work within complex/onsite manager rules?

Yes. We coordinate parking, access and work hours and leave common areas tidy.

7) Do you replace tempering and TPR valves?

Absolutely. We test and replace tempering (safe outlet temp) and TPR (safety relief) valves with quality parts.

8) Do you carry parts for my brand?

We stock common parts for Rheem, Rinnai, Dux, Aquamax, Vulcan, Thermann, Bosch, Envirosun, Everhot; specialty items are usually sourced the same day.

9) Repair or replace — what’s better value?

If the tank is sound, a targeted repair wins. Leaks or repeat failures on older units tip the scale to replacement — we’ll quote both.

10) How do I book?

Call 0482 080 423 or message with brand, unit location and access notes. We’ll confirm a time window.
