💧 About Saxon Hot Water Systems
Once a well-known Australian brand, Saxon Hot Water manufactured electric storage and heat-exchange systems for decades, with many still installed throughout Queensland homes. The company ceased manufacturing in 2011, meaning no new Saxon systems are available, but JR Gas & Water continues to support existing customers with safe replacements, upgrades, and maintenance.
