Hot Water System FAQs

Why is my hot water not working?

Common reasons include a faulty thermostat, heating element, or a tripped circuit breaker. If the system isn't heating, it may require professional inspection and repair to identify the issue.

How do I know if my hot water system is broken?

Signs of a broken system include no hot water, inconsistent water temperature, strange noises, water leaks, or visible rust around the tank. If you notice any of these, it's time to call a plumber.

What causes a hot water system to leak?

Leaks can occur due to corrosion, wear and tear, or damage to the tank, pipes, or connections. Over time, age and poor installation can also lead to leaks. Regular maintenance helps prevent these issues.

How often should I service my hot water system?

It’s recommended to service your hot water system every 1-2 years to ensure it's working efficiently and to prevent buildup of sediment or mineral deposits, which can reduce efficiency.

What size hot water system do I need?

The size of the system depends on your household's water usage. A family of four typically needs a 250–300L tank. Consider your number of bathrooms, appliances, and peak usage times when choosing a size.

Why is my hot water running out too quickly?

This could be due to a malfunctioning thermostat, a build-up of sediment, or a water heater that's too small for your needs. A professional plumber can assess and resolve the issue.

Can I repair my hot water system myself?

While minor issues like a tripped circuit breaker can be fixed yourself, it's best to leave major repairs, such as replacing heating elements or thermostats, to a licensed plumber to ensure safety and proper functionality.

How long does a hot water system last?

Most hot water systems last between 8-12 years, depending on the type and maintenance. Regular servicing can extend the lifespan of your system.

How much does it cost to repair a hot water system?

Repair costs vary depending on the issue but generally range from $100 to $500 or more. More complex problems, like replacing a tank or heating element, can cost more. Always get a quote before proceeding.

Why is my hot water cloudy or rusty?

Cloudy or rusty hot water may be caused by sediment buildup in the tank or corrosion inside the pipes. Flushing the system or replacing corroded parts can help restore clean water.
