Choosing A Plumber

 

When it comes to installing a new hot water system, choosing the right plumber is essential. A poor or non-compliant installation can reduce the lifespan of your system, cause performance issues - and even void your warranty.

 

We’re often asked if customers can install a hot water system themselves. The short answer? It’s not worth the risk - and it’s illegal. Only a licensed plumber is legally allowed to install hot water systems, and doing it yourself could lead to expensive problems down the track.

 

At Hot Water Boss, we’ve been installing hot water systems in Jimboomba and surrounding areas for almost 15 years. We’d be proud to help with your installation. If you’re outside our service area, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed professional to ensure your system is installed safely and correctly.

 

What to Look for in a Plumber:

✅ Licensing is a must
Always ask to see a plumber’s license. Any reputable professional will be happy to provide it.

✅ Gas fitting endorsement (if needed)
If you’re installing a gas hot water system, make sure your plumber also holds a valid Gas Fitting License.

✅ Experience with your type of system
Some systems - like solar hot water and heat pumps - require extra training and license endorsements. Make sure your plumber is qualified to work with your chosen system.

✅ Good communication and customer service
Technical skills matter, but so does how you’re treated. Look for a plumber who’s responsive, respectful, and easy to deal with.
