Don't miss a hot shower again
Hot water problems always hit at the wrong time. Early mornings before work. Kids waiting for baths. Cold nights when the system suddenly decides it’s had enough.
Across Bayswater we regularly see:
- Older tanks starting to rust or drip
- Electric systems tripping breakers or heating slowly
- Gas systems failing to ignite or cutting out
- Solar systems struggling in winter
- Units running out of hot water too fast
A lot of homes in this area still run older systems that have been pushed hard for years. When something fails it can feel sudden, but most issues give warning signs first.
If your system is playing up, we can usually talk through the problem over the phone and arrange a visit quickly. If it’s repairable, we’ll fix it. If replacement makes more sense, we’ll explain why and walk you through the options.

Wow. What can I say, amazing job. Rang them at 5.30am as my hot water tank was leaking and had a technician out by 7.30 and replaced the unit and was up and running by 10.30am. Great service and would highly recommend. Thanks
- Tony Home Owner

Emergency work on hot water system needed just after Christmas... Jason did it quickly and efficiently. Will use McPherson again for plumbing work
- G Cree Home Owner
I called about my water heater not working in the late afternoon and someone came out within an hour of me calling. The plumber who came out put a lot of effort into getting the heater going but unfortunately the unit could not be started and needed to be replaced. He came back the following day and replaced the unit so we had hot water for the weekend.
- Vicki G Home Owner
The guys from McPherson Plumbing installed a Therman continuous hot water system for us. It’s great. Jason and his crew were fantastic, very professional, friendly and easy to deal with. The job was done in the allotted time frame, left the job site clean and explained every thing that was done. More than happy with the service and quality of work. The price was very reasonable for what had to be done. Will call them again if we need any plumbing work done in the future.

Hot Water System Types We Work With in Bayswater
Electric Hot Water Systems
Electric hot water systems are common in Bayswater homes and units. They’re affordable to install and simple to maintain. Most problems relate to failed heating elements, worn thermostats, or electrical safety trips. If water takes too long to heat or runs cold quickly, a repair may solve it without replacing the whole system.
Electric systems suit smaller households and properties without gas access.
Gas Hot Water Systems
Gas hot water systems heat water quickly and recover fast between uses. They suit larger families and homes where multiple showers run close together. Common faults include ignition issues, pilot outages, gas valve failures, and airflow problems through the flue.
Gas systems should always be checked promptly if they’re cutting out or failing to ignite for safety reasons.
Solar Hot Water Systems
Solar hot water systems use roof-mounted panels to heat water using sunlight. They work well in Melbourne conditions but still rely on pumps and booster systems to maintain performance year-round. If your solar system isn’t producing enough hot water during winter, it may need servicing rather than replacement.
Roof orientation, shading, and panel condition all affect performance.
Heat Pump Hot Water Systems
Heat pumps draw warmth from the air to heat water efficiently. They use less electricity than traditional electric tanks and suit households wanting lower running costs. Installation location matters due to airflow and low operating noise.
Heat pumps work well in Bayswater’s climate when sized and positioned correctly.
Hot Water System FAQs
Most systems last 10-15 years, depending on usage and maintenance.
It depends on your needs. Gas is great for efficiency, electric is common, and solar is the most eco-friendly.
Your system may be undersized, have sediment buildup, or need a repair.
Most repairs are completed the same day, depending on the issue.
Yes! We can install high-efficiency gas, electric, or solar hot water systems to reduce your energy bills.
