I got an issue with an instantaneous gas hot water system. Its a Bosch 16B.
Ok, been having cold showers for a few days now putting getting a plumber off thinking that i can source the problem myself of an arvo. Now I cant see anything wrong with anything gas related before the hot water system. One plumber without even looking at it wants to sell me a $2000 dollar system without even thinking about repairing it. Another wants $250 plus labour plus parts. Now trolling other forums Ive seen a diaphragm replaced for HOT COLD HOT COLD issues($150) and a pilot light thingy replaced($23) I think i have no gas going to the pilot as I can't forcibly light it. Can any plumber shed a little light? NOTE: I'M NOT STOOPID AND NOT GOING TO BLOW MYSELF UP ...don't want to hear it :) |

We use 'The Gas Doctors' when our gas hotwater buggers up.
I think they are at Tarragindi (however it's spelt). They don;t seem to be overly expensive, although it always sucks spending money on something as boring as hot water. |

Speaking of plumbers does anyone know whats involved/how much it costs to get a water tank plumbed to your house to be eligible for the rebate?
Does it have to be a licensed plumber or can you just connect a few pipes? |

All that the DNR requires for your rebate is proof that the tank is connected to the roof.
