About Us
'Expert' isn't a word we throw around lightly. It isn't a slogan for refrigerator magnets, or badge you can slap on a website, and expect to remain untested. It's not a title you can confer upon yourself - it comes from your clients, your peers, and your qualifications. It may be a boast, but it's earned. And after more than 30 years of experience, it's a word we're comfortable using.
We're Family Owned And Operated - Our Reputation Is Our Business.

Once your system is installed, we keep it running at peak performance through our routine maintenance program. Depending on your circumstances, visits are automatically scheduled to take place at six or twelve month intervals. There's no need to mark your calendar - we'll contact you to schedule servicing at your convenience.
We provide a one year guarantee, including parts and labour, for all our water coolers and boiling water systems. Our filtration systems (excluding cartridge and UV lamps) are guaranteed for five years, provided they are serviced by us, as per our recommended maintenance plan.
All our installations are conducted by licensed plumbers, trained in the installation of our products. Their work is guaranteed by the Plumbing Industry Board for a period of six years, subject to certain terms and conditions.
We have a $10 million public and products liability insurance policy, for your protection.
All our work is performed in accordance with VECCI guidelines, to ensure the safety of your workplace. We keep meticulous records and are able to provide detailed verification of installation and maintenance visits, should you require them.
