What changes the price

Tradies don't pull a price out of thin air — these are the things they're checking on-site.

  • Tank size (135L, 250L, 315L+)
  • Gas vs electric vs heat-pump
  • Indoor vs outdoor install location
  • Whether the relief valve and TPR need replacement
  • Government rebates (VEU, NSW ESS) reduce out-of-pocket

Why guess when you can ask?

The range above is honest but generic. The real price for your job depends on what's actually in front of the tradie.
