Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Why should I hire a professional plumber for my hot water repairs?

Hot water systems are delicate and complicated; if entrusted in the hands of an amateur or unlicensed contractor, you run the risk of voiding your hot water system warranties and writing yourself out of future insurance claims. Worse, they might solve one problem while unintentionally creating another one that could be even more dangerous.  Most importantly, you place your home, family, and staff at risk.

With a licensed plumbing company like Doherty Plumbing Solutions, you are ensuring that the plumber assigned to repair or replace your hot water system is an expert who has complete knowledge of the equipment and knows exactly what to do to get it running without causing further damage. Our team is fully informed about all the models from the leading brands mentioned earlier and can make sure that your system goes back to running like it should.

2. What if my hot water heater is past the point of repair? How can your Plumbers help?

If your hot water system has become unrepairable (rest assured that we will try every possible way to make it work normally first), we provide you with all the suitable options that will be compatible with your home and household requirements and will ensure hassle-free installation.

Factors like your current configuration, family size, budget, and lifestyle will all be considered when we suggest the best solution. We can also install the system on your property the same day to minimise any disruptions to your normal routine as much as possible.

3. Can I get plumbing services after office hours? Do your Plumbers offer flexible assistance?

Doherty Plumbing Services provides emergency assistance to clients across Melbourne. If your hot water system starts acting up, then you can contact us at any time on 03 9877 5775.  We try to avoid after hours call outs as they are expensive for the customer and a huge demand on our already busy plumbers.  We are happy to discuss available options though.

4. Do hot water systems affect gas and electricity bills?

As your hot water system gets older, it will become more inefficient and waste energy while heating water. This will result in the system running much longer to achieve the same temperature and resulting in higher energy bills. If you start detecting an increase in your bill, then contact Doherty Plumbing Solutions right away to get your system checked.

    I am very impressed with the service. My problem was attended to efficiently. The plumber who came, George, was attentive to my needs and polite in his way of relating. He completed the repair work and my leaking problem was solved. I will definitely call Doherty Plumbing again for any plumbing problems.

    Call Doherty Plumbing after our hot water service stopped working. Arrived within specified timeframe and in the same day. Contacted us to let us know they were on the way. Fixed this issue on good time and clearly explained what was done. Excellent service from start to finish. Felt very comfortable with them. Well done. Highly recommend.

    George came; did my work quietly and respectfully. Noted a problem (big gaping crack in the pipe under the bench), and asked if we would like to change it. No pressure applied, and just added it to his list when I gave the go ahead. Would use this company again and again.

    This is the second time I have used Doherty Plumbing Solutions. Their service and communication is first class. Tim and Angus were very professional. They were able to find the source of a difficult leak and make the appropriate repairs. I appreciate the quality work that they have done.

    Brian Doherty and his team provided first class service for several gas/electric requirements we had. The plumbing staff were excellent, fully capable, and very easy to work with. Most highly recommended service.
