FAQs
Got questions about your hot water system? Start here.
What type of hot water system is best for my home?
The best system depends on your household size, water usage, and energy type. Solar is great for energy savings, while continuous flow suits high-demand homes. Many homeowners explore solar options for long-term cost efficiency.
Why is my water only lukewarm or turning cold?
This could indicate a faulty thermostat, gas valve, or sediment build-up inside the tank. If your system is older, it may need repairs or replacement. Here’s what to check when hot water turns lukewarm.
How often should I service my hot water unit?
Most systems should be serviced every 12 months to prevent wear, leaks, or pressure problems. Valves and filters also need checking to maintain safe performance. Regular maintenance can add years to your unit’s lifespan.
Can a plumber help with low water pressure?
Yes, a plumber can check your tempering valve, pipework, and unit settings. Low pressure could signal a leak or internal restriction. Some common causes are easily fixed with the right tools.
What are the signs my system needs replacing?
Rust around the tank, water leaking from the base, or temperature fluctuations are key indicators. Age also plays a role; most units last 8–12 years. If you’re noticing these signs, consider the cost of repair vs replacement.
What should I do if my hot water system is leaking?
First, turn off your water supply if the leak is severe. Then call a licensed plumber to inspect the tank, valves, and pipework. Small leaks can quickly escalate and are often tied to pressure or relief valve faults.
