Electric Hot Water Systems

These systems are a true all-rounder and work well in big and small homes. They’re typically quick, easy to install, and low maintenance (plug in and go). The power behind your portable air conditioner will depend on the model, though electricity tariffs may influence your costs.

Gas Hot Water Systems

If you have natural gas in your home, these are all relatively inexpensive options that provide steady, consistent heat. Gas hot water systems are appropriate for larger households and provide a reliable hot water supply daily.

Solar Hot Water Systems

Solar power is perfect for households looking to reduce their bills and carbon footprints. They take advantage of free solar power to produce electricity efficiently. Cloudy-day gas or electric boosters are included in some models.

Instantaneous/Continuous flow hot water systems

Need hot water in an instant, whenever you like? Instantaneous hot water systems, also known as continuous flow hot water systems, can give you hot water when needed, so there is no longer a need to wait for a tank to fill up with hot water. They are compact, efficient, and never “run out,” making them great for busy homes.
Trust Prime Plumbing to help you find a compatible option, whether it’s gas hot water systems, an environmentally friendly solar hot water system, or the convenience of radiant heat water heaters.

Gas Testing FAQs

When is a gas test legally required?

Rental properties in Victoria must have all gas appliances safety-checked every 2 years under the Residential Tenancies Regulations. Owner-occupied homes aren't legally required to test, but Energy Safe Victoria recommends it. Pre-purchase gas inspections are also commonly requested before settlement on older homes.

What does the gas test cover?

Pressure test of the gas line from meter to each appliance, leak detection at every joint and fitting, combustion analysis at each gas appliance, flue and ventilation check, and visual inspection of all gas pipework. We test every appliance, not just the heater required by rental law.

Do I need to be home for the test?

Someone over 18 needs to be on site so we can operate each gas appliance under load. The test usually takes a single visit. Tenants can be present instead of the owner; we lodge the Compliance Certificate with the registered property owner regardless.

Will I get a Compliance Certificate?

Yes — every gas safety check ends with a BPC-issued Compliance Certificate listing each appliance tested, the pressure and CO readings, and pass/fail status. Insurers, sale agents and rental authorities ask for this certificate when something later fails.
