Our team of experts can guide you in selecting the best water heater for your specific needs. Whether you need a high-efficiency tankless model or a traditional storage water heater, we’ll ensure that your system is tailored to your home’s hot water demands.

Our Water Heater Installation Process

1

Consultation and Site Inspection

The water heater installation begins with an in-depth consultation and site inspection. Our team will visit your home or business to assess the space where the water heater will be installed. We’ll carefully evaluate factors such as the available space, the type of installation (whether it’s for a new build or a replacement), and the most suitable placement for your water heater. This step is essential to ensure that your new system will operate efficiently, without any issues.

2

Selection of Water Heater

Choosing the right water heater is crucial to the long-term functionality and efficiency of your system. At QB Plumbing, we work with some of the best water heater brands in Singapore, including Ariston, Joven, and Rheem, to ensure that you get the highest quality unit. During our consultation, we’ll discuss your needs and guide you through selecting the best brand and model. This decision will be made based on various factors, such as your household’s hot water usage, energy efficiency requirements, and budget.

Installation Steps

Once the selection is finalised, the water heater installation process begins. Here’s an overview of our set-up procedure:

• Mounting:
Depending on the type of water heater (tank or tankless), we begin by securely mounting the unit in the designated space. For tank heaters, we ensure that the unit is placed at a safe height and is anchored properly. For tankless models, we mount the unit on the wall, ensuring there is enough space for ventilation.

• Plumbing Connections:
Our team will carefully connect the plumbing system to the water heater, ensuring that both the hot and cold water inlets are properly secured. All pipes will be tightly sealed to avoid leaks and keep the system functioning at optimal pressure.

• Electrical Setup:
If the water heater requires electrical connections, we’ll handle the electrical setup as per manufacturer guidelines. Our licensed electricians will ensure that the wiring is secure, and the connections are made safely, meeting all local regulations and compliance standards.


Throughout the water heater installation, we take extra care to maintain safety and efficiency. Our licensed plumbers ensure that all components are properly fitted, ensuring smooth and trouble-free operation once the system is powered up.

Post-Installation Checks

After set-up, we will conduct a thorough post-installation inspection to ensure everything is functioning as it should. We carry out the following checks:

• Testing:
We test the water heater to make sure it heats water properly and consistently. We check the temperature and pressure settings to ensure the unit is functioning efficiently.

•Safety Inspections:
Our team performs a comprehensive safety inspection, checking for leaks, proper electrical connections, and overall safety. If any issues arise, we address them immediately to prevent future problems.

•User Guidance:
We take the time to guide you through the features and operation of your new water heater. Our plumbers will explain the maintenance requirements, how to adjust the settings and provide advice on how to get the most out of your unit.


Finally, we provide you with any necessary documentation, including warranty information and maintenance tips. With this, you will have everything you need to operate and maintain your water heater efficiently.

Common Water Heater Issues and Repairs

Water heaters are essential appliances in any home, but like all devices, they can experience problems over time. Recognising the signs of failure early can help you avoid costly repairs and ensure your water heater operates efficiently.

Signs of Failure

  • Water not heating
  • Water leaks
  • Rust or brown water
  • Rumbling or popping sounds from the unit

Common Repairs

  • Heating Element Replacement:

If your water isn’t heating properly, the issue may lie with a faulty heating element. Replacing this component will restore functionality and ensure it works efficiently.

  • Leak Fixes:

Leaks are often caused by loose connections, cracked pipes, or a damaged tank. Our plumbers can identify and repair the source of the leak, preventing further water damage.

  • Thermostat Issues:

If your water temperature fluctuates or stays cold, the thermostat may need calibration or replacement to regulate the heating correctly.

When to Replace Instead of Repair?

While repairs can resolve many issues, it may not always be the right solution. If your water heater is over 10-15 years old or the cost of repairs is close to or exceeds the cost of a new unit, it might be more cost-effective to replace it. Moreover, older heaters are less energy-efficient and may not provide the reliability of modern models. If repairs are frequent, a brand-new water heater installation might save you money in the long run.
