Hot Water System Installation, Replacement & Repair

Electric storage, heat pump, or something in between – we make hot water work for you.

When it comes to hot water systems, it’s not one-size-fits-all. At TEIGE Electrical Services, we install, replace, and repair electric hot water systems across Southwest Victoria – helping you choose the right solution for your needs, while ensuring it’s installed safely, efficiently, and to Australian standards.

Whether you’re replacing a failed unit, switching to a more energy-efficient system, or troubleshooting a cold shower situation – we’ve got the tools, the training, and the practical experience to handle it all.

Installation & Upgrades Done Right

We install and commission all types of electric hot water systems, including:

  • Traditional resistive element storage tanks
  • High-efficiency heat pump hot water systems
  • Off-peak and controlled-load compatible systems

Every system is installed by a licensed electrician and includes:

  • Upgraded circuit protection (RCBOs or combination RCD/circuit breakers)
  • Dedicated isolation switch near the unit
  • Proper earthing and compliance with AS/NZS 3000
  • Certificate of Electrical Safety issued on completion

We work closely with plumbers where needed, and can coordinate the electrical and mechanical components of the job for a seamless experience.

Making the Switch – Heat Pump vs Storage

We’re often called on to help customers make the switch from an old resistive element tank to a heat pump – and just as often, we’re asked to reverse it.

While heat pump systems can be incredibly efficient, they aren’t always the best fit for every home or customer. Some units don’t cope well in colder climates or enclosed spaces, and repair parts can be hard to source. If your existing heat pump has failed and you’re tired of the hassle, we can help you transition back to a traditional resistive system – usually with minimal wiring changes and a fast turnaround.

Repairs & Troubleshooting

Experiencing no hot water, tripping breakers, or odd noises from the unit? We provide:

  • Electrical fault diagnosis
  • Isolator and circuit breaker replacement
  • Element and thermostat testing
  • Timed/off-peak circuit configuration
  • Urgent make-safe repairs

We aim to repair what can be repaired, and clearly quote any required replacements.
