About Us

Hot Water Specialists Who Actually Answer the Phone

We're a locally owned hot water company serving Wurtulla and the wider Sunshine Coast, and we do things a bit differently. When you call Wurtulla Hot Water, you're speaking directly with the tradesperson who'll be working on your system—not a call centre, not a salesperson, and definitely not a subcontractor who's never seen your job before. Todd Petrie runs this business hands-on, which means every quote, every diagnosis, and every installation is handled by someone who genuinely knows hot water systems inside out.

Unlike general plumbers who juggle dozens of different trades, we focus exclusively on hot water repairs, replacements, and installations across gas, electric, solar, and heat pump systems. That specialisation means faster turnarounds, more accurate diagnostics, and honest advice about what'll work best for your home and budget. Whether your system's given up the ghost on a Sunday morning or you're planning an upgrade before summer hits, you'll get the same reliable, straightforward service every time.

We've built our reputation around the Sunshine Coast by keeping things simple: turn up when we say we will, diagnose the problem accurately, and fix it properly the first time.

A Word from the Owner

Why I Started Wurtulla Hot Water

Todd Petrie

Founder

After years working in the broader plumbing industry, I noticed a real gap when it came to hot water service on the Sunshine Coast. Too many homeowners were getting pushed toward unnecessary replacements, dealing with call centres that couldn't answer basic technical questions, or waiting days for a tradie who'd never specialised in hot water systems. I started Wurtulla Hot Water to offer something better—a local service where the person answering the phone is the same person diagnosing your system, quoting the job, and doing the work.

I've always believed that hot water problems shouldn't be complicated or stressful. Whether you're in Wurtulla, down near Mooloolaba, or anywhere across the Sunshine Coast, you deserve quick, honest answers and quality workmanship that'll stand the test of time. That's what drives me every day, and it's the standard I hold myself to on every single job.
