EXCELLENT Based on 364 reviews Andrew Wearne22 February 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've had both emergency and planned plumbing work done by Fawcett and they have always been on time and communicative. The quality of work we've received has been great also Irene Lorbach21 February 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elliot and the team from Fawcett Group worked extremely hard and well at my house. Items were replaced, repaired and even rerouted ( ie downpipes). My old hot water unit was expertly replaced by Andy. The hydrojet cleaning worked extremely well but my toilet showered the floor with water and tree roots etc. This was cleaned thereafter of course. Thankyou. Lord Knightyme21 February 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just had a toilet replacement done by Matt. He came on time, rang 10-15 mins before hand to say he was on his way. I left him to do the job in peace, he had a few questions like, would I like the cistern installed higher, lower, or the same as the old one, so the installation was to my preferences. At the end he showed me the work, informed me to not use the toilet for at least 24 hours to allow the grout to cure properly so I don't have a wobbly toilet into the future. The old toilet was of a design that was prone to blockages after a while, took 10 years, so that not too bad I guess. Landlord is good with maintenance issues and it was replaced within the week of the issue being found. In all it looks good, he cleaned up everything after. Thanks Matt Jane Manser20 February 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Fawcett Plumbing! I had overflowing gutters and rusted downpipes which Troy, Jamie and Michael did an amazing job replacing (even replaced a couple of broken tiles on the roof for me). They were very professional and friendly and open and honest about the work that required doing. They certainly went way above and beyond in fixing my plumbing problems and did a fabulous job at cleaning up when finished. Open and upfront with costing which was great and got the job done quickly. You won’t regret using their services. I highly recommend these guys and will no doubt use them in future renovations. Georgina Mencel23 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fawcett Group were wonderful to deal with, starting with my phone calls with Adam in the office. Then Andy came promptly to fix my hot water unit. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He took the time to explain everything to me and was quick to get to work. I wouldn't hesitate to use Fawcett Group in the future. Thoroughly recommend! Deb Hurley21 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service ! Everything was explained and a fair price thank you both Shelley Leanne11 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just wanted to give credit to the Fawcett Brothers for coming to help me out, my new aircon started leaking and I was worried about the ceiling falling down, but the Brothers came over and helped me with a temporary fix until the aircon installation company can get here (next week), they weren’t on call today but were in my area and sorted it out for me, I can’t thank them enough they were so kind to not charge me for their time (& it was a Saturday). All I can say is if you need any plumbing or electrical give Fawcett Group a call .Thanks again to the Fawcett Brothers I feel so much better knowing my ceiling isn’t going to collapse on me. Ryan Stephens30 December 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have an older house with some unusual wiring. Andy was able to quickly install some fans for us and fix some power points and took the time to explain everything. Amanda Carapetis17 December 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome company to deal with. Thanks for fixing our plumbing issues!!!

Hot Water Replacement Adelaide
While we specialise in hot water repairs, we can also provide obligation free advice and guidance on replacement hot water systems should it not be economically viable to repair. The cost of a replacement hot water system installation depends on the amount of heated water required and based on the number of people in your household.
24Hour Emergency Hot Water Repairs Adelaide
A leak coming from your hot water unit is often a sign that your hot water system is corroding. Cylinder corrosion is one of the many effects of the hard water we have here in Adelaide. All hot water units will have a manufacturers plate that will include a manufacturing date, the average life span is about 10 to 12 years.

Choosing A Hot Water System Adelaide
If you’re in the market for a new hot water unit, it’s worth knowing which one is best for you and your needs. There are many things to consider before going out and buying a hot water unit. The checklist below will help you decide on the correct unit. As with most things, there is a system to suit whatever budget you may have.

- How much water is required? Usually defined by the number of people that you have in your home. With 4 people, you may need a tank as big as 250L but if you’re unsure, contact us and we should be able to give you a guide.
- Storage tank or continuous flow? Both have their pros and cons. A tank system will provide hot water faster whereas a continuous flow will be more energy efficient and save space.
- Gas or Electric? What you have available at your property will usually determine which you go for but again, they both have pros and cons, it is worth doing your own research to determine what’s right for you.
- How much space do you have for your hot water unit? Storage tanks can take up quite a bit of room while continuous flow systems are quite compact and mount to your wall.
Gas Hot Water System Adelaide
Gas storage hot water units have a gas burner underneath the tank itself to heat the water inside. Most units have an adjustable thermostat to set the water temperature. When the temperature at the bottom of the tank drops below the level set on the thermostat, the pilot flame ignites the main burner so the water is kept constantly hot. Storage hot water systems come in a range of tank sizes from 90L to 300L.
Gas Instantaneous/Continuous Flow Units
Unlike the storage units, these units only heat water as it is required, which means it may take a little longer to get the hot water that you’re after, but it is much more energy efficient. The water is heated by a gas burner as it flows through the heat exchanger. The gas burner starts when a hot water tap is turned on. It only heats the amount of water that is required instead of continuously heating a full tank.
Electric Hot Water System Adelaide
Electric storage hot water units are available in sizes starting at 25L and going all the way up to 400L for domestic properties. There are larger units available for commercial properties with multiple element configurations. While storage units have the hot water ready for you almost instantly, it consumes more energy.
Electric Instantaneous/Continuous Flow Units
These units are available in flow rates as little as 5L/minute up to 27L/minute. Unlike the storage units, because these heat water on the go as required, you’ll never run out of hot water. Some models allow you to choose the temperature of the heated water, whereas others only heat at a specific degree. As the water is heated on its way to the tap, it means the water pressure will be slightly less than that of a storage tank.
