“If your failing hot water system has left you out in the cold, give us a call; we can service, repair or replace it asap!”

Signs your hot water system may be failing

If you find yourself running out of hot water more often or notice a decline in water temperature, it could be a sign of heating element or thermostat issues with your hot water system. Discoloured water or strange odours issuing from your taps may indicate corrosion inside the tank and unusual noises like rumbling or popping sounds could mean a buildup of sediment. And if you spot any leaks or water pooling around the system, it's time to give us a call.

Why is my Hot Water System failing?

Hot water system issues can be caused by a number of problems including:

A failed element or thermostat of your electric hot water system that leaves you with no hot water
A pilot light that has turned off
A failed TPR valve which causes water to pour out of the overflow pipe
A corroded tank that causes brown water to flow out of the hot tap or leak from the tank
A failed tank that corrodes and explodes, flooding your property.

How do I fix it?

Our qualified plumbers will test and replace broken parts, including the tank if it has corroded or failed. If you need a new hot water system installed, we will discuss which system will best suit your hot water needs and preferred energy supply. Your old hot water system will be removed and disposed of thoughtfully within 24 hours.
