Job Summary – Kings Cross Property

 

Everyday Plumbing attended a residential unit block in Kings Cross comprising approximately 20 units. The property had reported a complete loss of hot water, with all units relying on a centralized hot water system. The failure had left residents without hot water, causing significant dissatisfaction.

 

We attended the site on Good Friday during the Easter long weekend to investigate and attempt to rectify the issue. Upon inspection, it was determined that the heat exchanger had failed. This failure caused water to leak into the system’s electronics, resulting in a complete breakdown as the electronic components were no longer functional.

 

As an immediate solution, we installed multiple electric hot water systems as a temporary bypass. This was necessary because the appropriate replacement system was made to order and not readily available off the shelf, which extended the overall repair timeframe. The temporary systems restored limited but functional hot water to the building.

 

The following week, we returned to complete the full replacement. This involved dismantling and removing the existing system, including the Raypak heat exchanger and the 430-litre tank. All components were removed manually down six flights of stairs.

 

We then installed a brand-new hot water system, including all new pipework, pumps, and an updated exhaust system. The system was fully commissioned and tested.

 

The building now has a highly reliable hot water system with more than sufficient capacity to service all units.

Hot Water System Upgrade in Lilli Pilli - Solar to Heat Pump Replacement

This homeowner in Lilli Pilli called our hot water team to discuss why they had no hot water. This was caused by a failed roof-mounted solar system. The unit was severely corroded and beyond repair

How We Solved The Problem

Our team of hot water technicians thoroughly inspected the roof and the solar system, confirming that the only option was to completely replace it. At this stage, it was more cost-effective than trying to repair the system.

Our Solution

We recommended upgrading to an air source heat pump system over another solar system. This was due to the high additional cost of purchasing and installing a brand-new solar system. Roof-mounted solar systems are also difficult to service and can rack up expensive running costs during rainy, cloudy weather.

This heat pump can run virtually free of charge if there are already PV solar panels installed, but they also run incredibly effectively if there aren't any solar panels, so it's a win-win situation. This new system is also mounted on the ground, making it easier to access when it comes time to perform maintenance and repairs.

Another bonus is that there are several government rebates and schemes available when switching to heat pump systems. This helps reduce the overall initial cost of the unit.
