Cold showerthis morning?
- Running out halfway through a shower
- Rusty water, or a puddle under the tank
- Pilot light keeps going out
Any of those usually means your system is on its way out. Better to sort it on your terms than on a cold Monday morning.

Repair or replace? We’ll tell you straight.
Not every cold shower needs a new system. If a repair will do the job, that’s what we’ll quote.
Pick one from each row and you’ll get a straight answer.
Not sure how old yours is? The date is on the sticker on the side of the unit. Snap a photo and text it to Zac, and he’ll tell you which way to go.
Text Zac a photoWhich system suits your home?
We put in all four. Tell us your setup and we’ll recommend the right one, not the most expensive one.

Gas continuous flow
Heats water as you use it. Compact, mounts on the wall, no tank. Needs a gas line.

Electric storage
The familiar tank. Simple, reliable and the lowest upfront cost for most homes.

Gas storage
A tank heated by gas. Refills quickly, so it suits bigger households.

Heat pump
Pulls heat from the air, using a fraction of the power of a standard electric tank.

Common questions
How quickly can you replace my hot water system?+
Zac will give you a time when you call. If you've got no hot water at all, say so and we'll do our best to get to you first.
Should I repair it or replace it?+
It depends on what's failed and how old it is. A leaking tank nearly always means replacing it. A thermostat, element or valve is often a repair. We'll tell you straight, and if a repair will do the job, that's what we'll quote.
Gas, electric, continuous flow or heat pump — which is best?+
It comes down to your home, whether you've got gas, how many people are showering and what you want to spend upfront versus on running costs. Tell us your setup and we'll recommend the one that suits, not the most expensive one.
Are there rebates for heat pumps?+
NSW has incentives for some heat pump upgrades, and whether you qualify depends on your home and the system. Ask Zac and he'll check what applies before you commit.
Do you cover my suburb?+
We work right across Newcastle & Lake Macquarie, including Newcastle, Charlestown, Warners Bay, Belmont, Cardiff, Adamstown, Kotara, Merewether, Lambton, New Lambton, Hamilton, Mayfield and surrounds. Not sure? Just ask.
Are you licensed?+
Yes. Zimco Plumbing holds NSW contractor licence 496019C for plumbing, drainage and gasfitting (including LP gas). You can check it on the NSW Fair Trading register.
