We know our stuff, it's that simple. Arrogance? No. It's just purely and simply a case of experience and continuing education on our part. We're maintenance plumbers, which means we're problem solvers, so we need to know about a vast range of products and issues. Experience certainly helps, but a thirst for knowledge and an eagerness to keep up to date is essential if we want to be able to nut things out for our clients.
It's important, and the roll-on effect protects the consumer and ensures they're getting the very best service and expertise we can offer. A good plumber might know how to do the basics, a great plumber builds and builds AND BUILDS on the basics, with further technical training, education classes, keeping up to date with current products, investing in quality tools and equipment, and by ensuring they're abreast of changing rules and regulations.

Services
Hot Water Heaters - installation, repairs and service in Geelong, Torquay, Barwon Heads, Ocean Grove & surrounding areas. Tomlinson Plumbing can help you with the installation, repair and service of all types of hot water units. Whether it be mains pressure storage, low pressure, gravity fed, instantaneous, continuous flow, or solar, we can assist.
A continuous flow hot water system is a compact, space efficient, wall mounted unit that ignites and burns fuel to heat the water as you use it, rather than storing it like more traditional tank style hot water systems do. Continuous flow hot water systems provide unlimited volumes of hot water and are available in various capacities, so there'll certainly be an option to suit most households or commercial properties.
It is essential that a solar hot water system be installed with either a gas or electric booster unit for days when there's low solar gain. Rheem have an extensive range of solar hot water systems to suit different climates and water conditions. You can compare Rheem's products here. The Thermann range includes a gas boosted solar hot water system and an electric boosted solar hot water system.
Storage hot water systems store hot water in a tank ready for you to use and they're available as natural gas, LPG & electric. They operate by releasing hot water from the top of the tank when you turn on the hot water tap. To replace that hot water, cold water enters the bottom of the tank, ensuring that the tank is always full.
In short, back flow valves stop hazardous pollutants from being sucked back into our drinking water supply. Imagine turning on the tap to get a drink, only to find some medical waste in your glass. What about some cleaning chemicals from the local carwash, or dyes from the corner hair salon. At Tomlinson Plumbing, we are licensed to provide advice on, assess, install, test, and maintain back flow prevention valves.

What a lovely surprise.
I am very happy to recommend Tomlinson Plumbing. I rang this morning and Michael came to fix my leaking bathroom basin and replace a faulty kitchen mixer tap this afternoon.
Extremely friendly and professional.
I was really pleased to see that Michael chose to wear a mask all the time he was doing my job. Really reassuring in these Covid times.
He charged what I consider to be a very reasonable fee for the job.
I think I have found a reliable, friendly, and knowledgeable plumber (who charges a reasonable price) in the Torquay area.
A big thank you to Michael and Karen

We can’t recommend Tomlinson Plumbing highly enough. Michael installed a new rainwater tank and plumbing for us. Throughout the process Karen kept us really well informed and when we were told people would be on site, they were. They are great people to boot!
