Signs Your Hot Water System Needs a Repair
Not all hot water issues mean your system needs to be replaced.
Often, a quick repair can get things back on track.
One of the most obvious signs is when your water isn’t getting hot at all, or it heats up briefly and then goes cold again. You might also notice the temperature fluctuating while you’re in the shower, switching from hot to cold without warning.
Another common issue is a drop in water pressure when you’re using the hot taps. This could indicate a blockage or a problem with the system itself.
If your hot water starts coming out rusty or discoloured, that’s usually a sign of corrosion inside the tank. Unusual noises, like banging, popping or hissing, can mean there’s a build-up of sediment or a fault in the heating element. And of course, any visible leaks around the system shouldn’t be ignored.
If you’re noticing any of these problems, it’s best to have it looked at before it turns into a bigger (and more expensive) issue.
We Repair All Hot Water Systems
Our licensed plumbers work on all major types of hot water units. If you’ve got a gas hot water system, we can check the burner, pilot light, and gas connections to get it running efficiently again. For electric hot water systems, we’ll inspect and repair elements, thermostats, and wiring issues.
We also service instant or continuous flow systems, which are great for saving energy but can sometimes suffer from pressure or ignition problems. If you have a solar hot water unit, we’ll assess the panels, storage tank, and booster settings to ensure everything is working as it should. And for homes with heat pump systems, we’ll test both the mechanical and refrigerant components to make sure you’re getting reliable hot water through winter.
Not sure what system you’ve got? No stress. We’ll figure that out for you. And if it turns out the system is beyond repair, we can help you choose and install a new one that suits your household and budget.
