Arranged with Chris to install a replacement hot water service in the morning, and the new unit was installed and operating by 3:15pm the same day. Very impressed with the quality of the install by Mark and Jayden and my overall experience with "Tha Tap Man". Thanks again guys.

Matthew was helpful to discuss about which hot water system to choose. He provided me a couple of options to select from with his advice. Matthew is very friendly and working good on installation of a new hot water tank. He also follow up with me to check how it's going... Highly recommended

Our hot water system failed and used The Tap Man to look at the issue and make recommendations on options. Chris was knowledgeable and fantastic, and our whole system was replaced that afternoon. Fast, efficient, and great communication between the admin staff with ETA's. Would not hesitate in recommending them.
