Awesome experience, great quality work. I got a home water filtration system and gas cooker installed and couldn't have gone smoother. Really happy with the quality of the home filtration system. I'm on tank water and notice a big difference.Posted on Google![]()

I’ve engaged Jonty twice now and could not be happier. He first installed a whole-house water filter at my home which performs flawlessly, followed by installing my new smart hot water system with in-built timers to control when it’s drawing power. Jonty has been consistently lovely to deal with, and I’d recommend him to anyone.Posted on Google![]()

I can’t speak highly enough of Jonty. He came by to check out an issue with my toilet and didn’t charge me, saying he didn’t feel right taking payment since there was nothing that actually needed fixing. He was also great with scheduling initially too which I really appreciated. Jonty is a genuinely good guy and a truly honest tradie – I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.Posted on Google![]()

Jonty was great to work with! He installed an outdoor tap for me quickly and efficiently, and the quality of his work was outstanding. I couldn’t be happier with the result.
When your hot water stops working in Palmview, the last thing you want is to wait days for someone to show up. Ripple Plumbing & Gas services Palmview and the surrounding area, with same day repairs and replacements available for most standard systems.
We work with homeowners, landlords and property managers across Palmview, including rental properties and acreage blocks on tank supply. Whatever your setup, we will assess it properly, give you a straight answer on whether repair or replacement makes more sense, and have it sorted with minimal disruption.
We handle all aspects of hot water systems
If your unit can be repaired safely and cost-effectively, we’ll fix it. If replacement is the smarter long-term solution, we’ll explain why before any work begins.
Ripple Plumbing & Gas installs and services:
Every system is sized and installed to suit Queensland conditions and your household’s usage.
Hot water failures don’t wait for business hours.
If your system has burst, stopped heating or is leaking, we prioritise urgent hot water repairs across Palmview. Our goal is to restore reliable hot water as quickly as possible while ensuring safe, compliant installation.
The most common causes are a failed heating element in electric systems, a faulty thermostat, a tripped circuit breaker, a failed pilot light in gas systems, or a pressure relief valve that has discharged. On older systems, a burst or corroded tank is often the culprit. Some of these are straightforward repairs, others mean the system needs replacing. Call us and we can usually diagnose it over the phone before we even arrive.
As a general guide, electric storage systems last 10 to 15 years, gas storage systems 10 to 12 years, continuous flow gas systems 15 to 20 years, and heat pump systems 10 to 15 years. Systems on the Sunshine Coast near the coast can corrode faster due to salt air. If yours is approaching or past these ranges, a repair might buy you time but a replacement is usually the smarter investment.
It depends on the age of the system and what has failed. If the tank itself has burst or corroded, replacement is the only option. If it is a component like an element, thermostat or valve, and the system is under ten years old, a repair usually makes sense. We will give you an honest assessment and a price for both options so you can decide without any pressure.
In most cases yes, for standard electric and gas replacements. Call before midday and we will do our best to have hot water restored the same day. Solar and heat pump systems, or non-standard configurations, may require a day or two depending on supply.
Minor repairs such as a thermostat or element replacement start from $1,200. We quote the job before starting so you know exactly what you are up for. If the repair cost is close to replacement cost, we will tell you that honestly.
It depends on your household size, how your property is set up, and your energy priorities. Gas continuous flow suits most families who want on-demand hot water without a storage tank. Electric storage is reliable and low upfront cost. Heat pumps are increasingly popular on the Sunshine Coast because of the warm climate and the running cost savings over electric. Solar makes sense on properties with good roof orientation and low shading. We can walk you through the options for your specific home and give you a recommendation without pushing any particular brand.
Electric storage heats water using an element inside the tank, similar to a kettle. It is simple and reliable but typically the most expensive to run. Gas storage and continuous flow use a gas burner, with continuous flow heating water on demand rather than storing it. Solar uses roof-mounted panels to heat water with the sun, with a gas or electric booster for cloudy days. Heat pump systems work like a reverse air conditioner, extracting heat from the surrounding air to heat the water, using significantly less electricity than a standard electric system.
Generally yes. Heat pumps are most efficient in warm climates and the Sunshine Coast climate suits them well. They typically use around a third of the electricity of a standard electric storage system, which adds up to meaningful savings on a quarterly power bill. The upfront cost is higher than electric storage, but most households recover that through running cost savings within a few years. There are also federal government rebates available that can significantly reduce the purchase price. We can give you a straight comparison for your household size and current setup.
