Hot Water Repairs and Replacement

Hot water is one of the jobs we get called about most. Whether your system has stopped working, is leaking, or is simply old and costing too much to run, we will tell you straight whether it is worth repairing or time to replace.

Signs your hot water system needs attention

  • No hot water, or it runs out much faster than it used to
  • Water leaking from the tank or pooling around the base
  • Rusty or discoloured hot water
  • Banging, rumbling or hissing noises
  • The power keeps tripping when the heater is on

Systems we work on

  • Electric storage: elements, thermostats, valves and full replacements.
  • Gas: storage and continuous-flow gas systems, installed and repaired by our licensed team. More on gas fitting.
  • Solar: solar hot water repairs and replacements.

Not sure what you have? Send us a photo of the label on the tank and we can usually tell you the options over the phone.

Hot Water FAQs

Should I repair or replace my hot water system?
 
If the tank itself is leaking, it needs replacing. Faulty thermostats, elements, valves and gas controls can usually be repaired. Systems more than 10 to 12 years old are often better replaced than repaired.
What types of hot water systems do you install?
 
Electric storage, gas (storage and continuous flow) and solar hot water systems. We can help you compare running costs and choose the right size for your household.
Is a dripping relief valve a problem?
 
A small drip while the water is heating is normal. A constant stream, or a valve that never stops dripping, usually means the valve or the water pressure needs attention.
What should I do if my hot water tank is leaking?
 
Turn off the power or gas to the heater, then turn off the cold water valve going into it. Call 0414 720 602, including after hours.
