From phone call to haviung a new hot water heater was just 3 houVery Very happy with the service and would not go anywhere else. Could not be any happier.
Overpriced and poor quality installation. On recommendation from a friend I contacted AHW to replace an end of life Hot Water System (my plumber was on holiday at the time). The response was a same day service to install a Rinnai Infinity B26 replacement system. The system was installed within a period of 20 minutes without leveling and bent… Read more
brackets and payment was insisted on completion. I e-mailed the office and was told the installation would be rectified the next day. The rectification next day was carried out using blocks of wood to bridge the unit from the wall, which was unsatisfactory. The installers told me they would need to charge me an additional fee to change pipework if I wanted it perfect, which I could see was totally unnecessary seeing this system was an identical replacement. Soon after they left I removed the blocks of wood and installed the unit using proper mounting devices. The unit can be bought for $1000 on-line and installation is straightforward, I agreed to the $1850 cost prior to installation, however for 20 minutes work and poor installation I was taken for a ride. I find it totally unacceptable to prey on people when vulnerable, i.e. when your HW goes down and you need a quick fix.
Call out response was immediate. New heater installed next morning. Job completed in less than 24 hours. Serviceman very efficient and absolutely no mess. Highly recommend. Show reply
Without any hesitation I recommend the services of Australian Hot Water. Belinda and the team at the Belmore branch are exceptional. Within an hour of calling them I had two plumbers and a new gas hot water service on the doorstep. Their work was professional, timely and effective, with the new unit installed and tested, and the old unit taken… Read more · 2
away. The job came in at a very reasonable price. And as a bonus, the new unit is Australian made.
If you need a new Hot Water Service, then this is the place to go.
*** Beware of other plumbing companies out there, many will charge exorbitant amounts. ***
Couldn't be happier with the service Australian Hot Water - Inner West provided. Used them 16 years ago and again just today. Josh did the installation, he didn't have alot of space to work with but he made it work. Very professional, very friendly and very accommodating technician. Highly recommend this company. Show reply

Follow-up · It took around 1-3 hours. They replaced my old hot water system and replaced it with a new one. There was clean up included which consisted of taking away your old hot water system and the cardboard for the new.
Highly recommend these guys. Replaced my old how water system with a heat pump. They did a very professional install and cleanup afterwards. Punctual and easy to deal with. Thanks Show reply
Follow-up · How long? Took em a couple of hours. The electrician had popped in early and disconnected the old one and was back in the afternoon to connect the new one. I'd booked the install in the morning so there would be enough time for it to heat up on solar. How noisy? It's more quiet than expected. I have to be near it hear it. There is a cool… Read more

I had my new hot water system installed today and I’m extremely impressed with the quality of work. The technician was punctual, friendly, and very professional. The installation was neat, quick, and everything was tested before they left. Fantastic service and value. Thank you Kevin and Paul Show reply
Kevin from Australian Hot Water is an easy going guy and knows his craftmanship so well. He arrived at the time he said he would and installed our new hot water system and took the old one away. At the end on the job he even gave us a discount without me asking. I highly recommend him and I would hire him again one day. All the best Kevin, you are such a hard working man. Show reply

Needed someone to look and quote to fix an intermittent hot water issue so called Australian Hot Water Inner West Belmore office who originally installed the water heater. They were great the first time but this time they charged me a LARGE call out fee, a LARGE labour fee then tried to charge and coerce me to replace a part on the gas mains. The… Read more
gas main is the responsibility of your gas infrastructure provider so I learnt (but a plumber can also repair but at a fee rather than for FREE which the infrastructure provider does). I ended up having to pay the call out and labour fee ($280 for 20 min) though they are only a 5 minute drive from me, and sent them home. I called my gas provider, within 1 hour, the infrastructure provide was at my premises replacing the faulty part FOR FREE!. They told me that so many people call plumbers, hot water providers etc first rather than them (highlighted on every ones gas bill is a statement asking you to call them if you have a gas problem) end up getting caught out paying enormous fees. IF YOU HAVE A GAS PROBLEM, CALL YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE PROVIDE LIKE JEMENA ETC FIRST AND THEY WILL COME OUT FOR FREE TO CHECK THE PROBLEM. IF IT IS A INFRASTRUCTURE THEY WILL FIX IT FOR FREE, IF IT ISN'T, THEY WILL TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS SO YOU CAN GET QUOTES FROM DIFFERENT COMPANIES BECAUSE YOU WILL KNOW WHAT IT IS. Really disappointed in Australian Hot Water - Inner West Belmore as when a consumer tries to do the right thing engaging a local company only to get ripped off! Never going back or recommending them as I have numerous times in the past.

If I could give 0 Stars I would – This company on their website offers a 24/7 service yet when I called at 10pm no one answered the phone and only got back to me the next morning and said they were willing to send a serviceman out to repair and they told me about the $180 service fee which I was happy to pay if the serviceman did the job properly. Upon arriving on the premise the… Read more
serviceman did not inspect the hot water system and only commented on how old the system is and that there was no parts for it and quoted us for a new system. I have since done my own inspection to find a loose wire and have reconnected it and the system is working properly again without ordering any parts.
This company only wants to change systems and over charge you for it. They only say they will repair the system so that they can tell you that you need a new system and charge you a service fee so that you will use them to change the hot water system. I strongly do not recommend this company.

if you are in search of a replacement hot water heater i highly recommend Australia Hot water service. There service is one of the best experiences i have ever encountered. Unlike others that charge you up to $150 just for the callout and to tell you the cost. Kevin for Australia Hot Water provided a fixed price over the phone and also call out after hours just to confirm at no cost. Thank you, Kevin, Show reply
Guys did a brilliant job, very conscientious tradesman and thorough..price was very competitive and resolved the problem in a very timely manner. Would definitely used and recommend this company for any future works.

I had an issue with my hot water. I rang Kevin at Macarthur, he came evaluated the situation and advised I didn’t require a new hot water service at this time.

Our electric hot water system stopped working recently. This was initially installed by the by the same company, "Australian Hot Water - Macarthur" around 10 years ago. I contacted them again and it was a prompt and efficient service on the same day. They replaced the thermostat at a very reasonable cost. We were impressed by their efficiency and professionalism.
