Frequently asked questions
How much does heater repair cost in Melbourne?
The Heater Repairman charges a fixed price of $250 + GST + parts for all repairs, regardless of how long the job takes. This means no surprise bills - you know the labour cost upfront.
How do I know if my heater needs repair or replacement?
If your heater is under 15 years old and develops a fault, repair is almost always the more cost-effective option. If it's over 15 years old, has a cracked heat exchanger, or requires repeated expensive repairs, replacement may be the better long-term investment. We'll always give you an honest recommendation.
How long does a heater repair take?
Most heater repairs are completed in 1–2 hours on the first visit. We carry common parts, so many faults are resolved same-day. If a specific part needs to be ordered, we'll advise you of the expected turnaround time.
Do you repair all heater brands?
Yes - we repair all major brands including Brivis, Braemar, Bonaire, Vulcan, Lennox, Omega, Kaden, Rinnai and more. With 35+ years of experience, we've worked on virtually every ducted gas heater system installed in Melbourne's eastern suburbs.
Do you offer a guarantee on your repairs?
Yes. We stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee on every repair. If the same fault recurs after our repair, contact us and we'll make it right.
