About Us

The difference is in the approach

At Mapleton Hot Water, we're a locally owned and operated hot water specialist servicing Mapleton and the wider Sunshine Coast region. Unlike general plumbers who dabble in hot water as a side service, we focus exclusively on hot water systems—gas, electric, solar and heat pump installations, repairs and replacements. This specialisation means we diagnose faults faster, carry the right parts, and deliver solutions that last.

We're owner-operated, which means the person who quotes your job is the same person who installs or repairs your system. There's no call centre, no subcontractors, and no commission-driven sales pitch. You'll deal directly with a licensed hot water professional who understands Sunshine Coast conditions, local water quality, and what works best for your household. That's the real difference—honest advice, quality workmanship, and a genuine commitment to keeping your hot water running reliably.

Todd Petrie

Founder

I started Mapleton Hot Water because I saw too many homeowners being let down by hot water services that treated every job like a sales opportunity. Too often, people were sold expensive systems they didn't need, or left waiting days for a repair that should have taken hours. I wanted to do things differently—put the customer first, provide honest advice, and deliver work I'd be proud to stand behind.

Hot water might seem like a simple trade, but there's real skill in diagnosing issues quickly, recommending the right system for your household, and installing it properly the first time. I've worked across the Sunshine Coast for years, and I genuinely care about getting your hot water back on as quickly as possible—because I know how disruptive it is when it goes out. When you call Mapleton Hot Water, you're speaking directly to me, and I'm the one who'll be at your door with the tools and know-how to fix it.
