Goodbye Cold Mornings: Ensuite Hot Water Upgrade in Camberwell
When Barry, a homeowner in Camberwell, noticed that his ensuite wasn’t getting the reliable hot water he needed, he reached out to O’Shea Plumbing for a long-term, energy-efficient solution. With only the main ensuite requiring servicing, he wanted a dedicated system that could provide consistent, instant hot water — without relying on the older storage system that serviced the rest of the home.
Our experienced plumbers in Melbourne were ready to restore comfort and convenience with a tailored upgrade designed to deliver efficient performance and long-term reliability.
Efficient Hot Water System Repairs and Installation
After inspecting Barry’s setup, we recommended installing a Stiebel Eltron DEL13 three-phase instantaneous hot water unit. This high-performance system provides fast, energy-efficient hot water directly to the ensuite, ensuring stable temperature control and eliminating the delays often caused by traditional storage systems.
Instantaneous systems like this one are compact, efficient, and ideal for bathrooms, kitchens/laundry that require dedicated, on-demand hot water. As specialists in hot water system repairs and upgrades, the O’Shea Plumbing team regularly installs both gas and electric models to suit each client’s specific home layout and water usage needs.
Professional Installation by Melbourne’s Trusted Plumbers
To complete the upgrade with minimal disruption, our licensed plumbers carefully accessed the existing hot water lines by cutting into the cabinetry, then isolating and shutting off the water supply. We reconfigured the pipework so the ensuite would operate independently from the main storage unit.
New copper pipework was routed neatly within the cabinetry, and an access point was created through the external wall for the cold-water feed. With precision and care, the new instantaneous unit was mounted securely, connected to both the cold mains and the hot outlet, and all access points were patched for a clean, professional finish.
Once Barry’s electrician completed the power connection, our team returned to commission the system and ensure flawless operation. The result was a smooth, efficient installation that delivered consistent performance and reduced energy consumption.
