Choosing a Replacement System
The decision is rarely just like-for-like: households here weigh storage tanks against heat pumps and solar every week, and the salt air shortens the life of anything left outside unprotected.
What Replacement Jobs Look Like Here
Foreshore units carry the oldest gear
Storage tanks fitted decades ago still serve the unit blocks near Gayundah Esplanade, and their casings and valves have spent those decades in salt air off Bramble Bay.
Retiree households feel it first
At the last census the median age here was 53, so a cold shower is not something a household shrugs off while a tank drifts toward failure.
Solar roofs reaching decision time
Postcode records list 1824 solar hot water installs against 842 heat pump installs, so many replacements here involve deciding what to do with ageing roof-mounted gear as well as the tank itself.
What a Replacement Covers
A full replacement job is more than a box swap, and this is what the quote covers:
System Choice
Storage, solar, heat pump or continuous flow, each explained in plain words with the running costs and the roof or floor space it needs, so you pick with real numbers.
Sizing and Position
The new unit gets sized to the household, not the old tank, and positioned where salt air, access and the fall of your waste lines all work in its favour.
Decommissioning
The old tank is drained and removed, its water and electrical or gas connections made safe, and the whole lot carted away so nothing half-dead stays in the roof space.
Install and Commission
The new system is plumbed in, connected and commissioned, then run through a full hot cycle while we check temperatures, pressures, valves and every single new fitting on the line.
Common Problems With Tanks Here
A Casing That Weeps
Rust streaks down a storage tank mean the casing has thinned from the inside, and on a headland washed by salt air that thinning runs faster than it would inland.
A Tank Past Ten
Most tanks give roughly a decade before the corrosion protection runs out, and a tank still holding water past that age is living on borrowed time and a wet floor.
A Sudden Flood
When an old tank lets go it can dump its whole contents at once, and in a unit block that water travels down through the ceilings and light fittings below.
A System Sized Wrong
A replacement sized off the old tank, not the household, leaves you short in winter or paying to heat water nobody uses, so we size to who lives there today.
Why Getting It Right Matters
A replacement touches your power bill, your morning shower and the safety of everything stored near the tank, so it pays to get three things right:
Running costs outlast the install price
A tank chosen on price alone can cost more over a decade of heating than a better-suited unit, so we talk through what drives those costs before you commit.
Water goes downhill, fast
In the blocks stacked along the foreshore, a tank that lets go upstairs sends water through every ceiling below it, which is why we treat a weeping casing as urgent.
Parts have to suit the air
Salt off the bay eats unprotected brass and steel well ahead of its inland lifespan, so we fit coastal-rated valves and fittings wherever the new system breathes sea air.

Hot Water Replacement FAQs
Call (07) 3524 7117How do I know my Woody Point tank is at end of life?
Leaks from the casing, rust in the outlet water and a tank well past a decade old all point to replacement, while a failed element on its own usually points the other way, toward a fix.
Who owns the hot water system in my Woody Point unit?
Unitywater owns the mains and the meter, and the tank and everything feeding it on the property side belong to the owner, which in a unit block usually means the body corporate.
Can a solar hot water system be replaced with a different type in Woody Point?
Yes, and the choice matters here because solar systems outnumber heat pumps on local roofs, so plenty of households weigh up keeping roof gear against a simpler storage or heat pump unit.
What changes the cost of a hot water replacement in Woody Point?
The system type, the size of the unit, how much of the old pipe and valve work needs replacing, and access to the tank's position all move the price you're quoted up front.
Do you take the old tank away?
Yes, decommissioning and removal of the old tank is part of the replacement job, including draining it, making the water, gas or electrical connections safe and carting it away off site.
