Sorrento is a popular coastal suburb north of Karrinyup, sitting between Marmion and Hillarys along the beachfront. Like many of Perth's coastal suburbs, homes in Sorrento face the added challenge of salt-laden air, which accelerates corrosion on external hot water systems. Rusted panels, leaking relief valves and failing anodes are all common issues Glenn sees when working in the area.
Many Sorrento properties were built in the 1980s and 1990s, and a good number are still running the original hot water unit or a replacement that was installed over a decade ago. Once these systems start showing their age — inconsistent temperatures, visible rust, pooling water at the base — repair often becomes a false economy.
Glenn lives and works in the nearby northern suburbs, so Sorrento is well within his regular service area. He can usually get to a Sorrento address quickly, assess the situation, and if replacement is the right call, have a new system installed the same day. He carries common Rheem and Everhot units on the van, so there's no waiting around for parts.
You'll get a straightforward explanation of your options, a fixed price before work starts, and a clean, compliant installation.
