About Us

The Person Who Quotes, Does the Work

When your hot water system fails or needs replacing, you want someone who understands the system inside out and takes personal responsibility for getting it right. At Parrearra Hot Water, the owner-operated approach means the person who visits your home, assesses your needs and provides your quote is the same qualified technician who'll complete the installation or repair. There's no call centre, no subcontractors turning up unannounced, and no commission-driven sales pressure—only straightforward advice and quality workmanship.

Unlike general plumbing businesses that handle everything from blocked drains to bathroom renovations, hot water systems are our sole focus. This specialisation allows us to diagnose problems faster, recommend the most suitable electric, gas, solar or heat pump system for your household, and complete the job efficiently. Whether you're in Parrearra, Minyama, Buddina or anywhere across the Sunshine Coast, you'll receive the same dedicated, local service every time. We're here to provide reliable hot water solutions backed by proper licensing, extensive experience, and a genuine commitment to looking after Sunshine Coast homeowners.

From the Owner

Built on Trust and Technical Skill

Todd Petrie

Founder

I started this business because I saw too many homeowners dealing with confusing quotes, surprise costs and poor communication from large plumbing companies that spread themselves too thin. Hot water systems require specific knowledge—understanding pressure relief valves, tempering valves, electrical and gas compliance, energy ratings, and how different models perform under real-world conditions. By focusing solely on hot water, I'm able to offer faster service, honest pricing, and the confidence that comes from working with someone who genuinely cares about getting your system running properly.

Every job I take on across the Sunshine Coast is handled personally. I show up, I assess, I quote, and I complete the work. There are no sales teams working on commission, no subcontractors you've never met, and no pressure to buy an oversized system you don't need. My reputation depends entirely on the quality of my work and the trust I build with local families and property owners. Whether you're upgrading to a heat pump in Parrearra, replacing an old electric tank in Maroochydore, or dealing with an emergency hot water failure in Kawana, you'll receive the same straightforward, reliable service every time.

We commit to providing honest assessments, transparent pricing, and installations completed to the highest standard. You'll never be upsold on unnecessary equipment or rushed into decisions—our goal is to match the right hot water solution to your home and budget.
