For rental properties, busy family homes and anyone who wants reliable hot water without paying for features they'll never use, a Vulcan gas storage system installed by our licensed plumbers and gas fitters (PL 9874 | GF 014602) is one of the best-value changeovers in Perth.
Which Vulcan Hot Water System Is Right for Your Perth Home?
Vulcan 135L Natural Gas Storage
The Vulcan 135L (from $1,400) is the classic Perth family workhorse. Despite its compact 135-litre tank, fast gas recovery delivers 248 litres of hot water in the first hour - comfortably covering a 3–4 person household's morning routine. With a 4-star energy rating, 27 MJ/h gas consumption and a weather-and-corrosion-resistant external build, it's a straightforward like-for-like replacement for most existing gas storage units, which means quick installation and minimal changeover cost.
Vulcan 4★ 170L Natural Gas Storage
Need more capacity? The Vulcan 170L (from $1,450) steps up to a 170-litre tank with the same 248-litre first-hour delivery, 4-star efficiency and rugged construction - built for households of 4–5 people, or any home where the evening bath-and-dishes rush stretches a smaller tank. At only $50 more than the 135L, it's often the smarter buy for growing families.
Both models carry a 7-year cylinder warranty plus 1 year on parts and labour, and share the same 422mm × 502mm footprint - only the height differs - so upgrading capacity rarely requires plumbing modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Vulcan hot water system cost in Perth?
The Vulcan 135L starts from $1,400 and the 170L from $1,450, plus installation. We provide a fixed, all-inclusive quote - unit, installation, removal of your old system and all valves and fittings - before any work begins, with a $0 call-out fee during business hours.
Should I choose the Vulcan 135L or 170L?
The 135L suits most 3–4 person households; the 170L is the better choice for 4–5 people or homes with a big evening hot water demand. Both deliver 248 litres in the first hour and share the same footprint, so for $50 difference, growing families usually go the 170L.
Can you install a Vulcan hot water system today?
In most cases, yes. Vulcan units are among the most common same-day changeovers we do - if you call in the morning, we can usually have your new system installed and running the same day, anywhere in the Perth metro.
Are Vulcan hot water systems any good?
Yes - Vulcan is Australian-made by the Rheem Hot Water Group, the country's biggest hot water manufacturer. They're deliberately simple systems: fewer features, proven internals, easy servicing and a 7-year cylinder warranty. For value-focused buyers and rental properties, they're hard to beat.
How long do Vulcan hot water systems last?
A Vulcan gas storage unit typically lasts 8–12 years in Perth conditions, often longer with basic maintenance. Replacing the sacrificial anode around year five protects the cylinder and can add years of service life.
My Vulcan pilot light keeps going out - repair or replace?
A failing thermocouple or pilot assembly is usually a quick, inexpensive repair on a younger unit. If your Vulcan is over 10 years old or the tank is leaking, replacement is the better value - and at $1,400–$1,450 supplied, a new Vulcan with a fresh 7-year warranty often costs little more than major repairs on an old unit. We'll give you an honest on-site assessment, free during business hours.
