About Us

The difference is in who shows up

When you contact Buddina Hot Water, you're speaking directly with the person who'll handle your hot water system from quote to completion. There's no call centre, no sales team working on commission, and no subcontractors arriving at your door. This owner-operated approach means faster service, honest advice, and workmanship you can count on across Buddina and the broader Sunshine Coast region.

We specialise exclusively in hot water systems—gas, electric, solar and heat pump installations, repairs and replacements. That focus allows us to diagnose issues quickly, recommend the right system for your home, and get your hot water flowing again without the runaround. Whether you're dealing with a failing unit or planning an upgrade, you'll work with someone who knows hot water systems inside out and takes pride in every installation.

Todd Petrie

Founder

I started this business because I saw too many homeowners being let down by rushed jobs, unclear quotes and technicians who didn't follow through. Hot water is one of those services you don't think about until it's gone—and when it goes, you need someone who'll show up, do the work properly, and get you sorted without the stress. That's what I'm here to provide.

Every call that comes through to Buddina Hot Water is handled personally. I quote the job, I do the work, and I make sure you're happy with the result. There's no middleman, no subcontractor who's never met you, and no sales pitch designed to upsell you on something you don't need. It's a straightforward approach that works, and it's how I reckon service should be done across Buddina and the entire Sunshine Coast.
