Common Hot Water Problems
Is Your Hot Water System Letting You Down?
Hot water systems work hard year round, and when they start to fail, the signs are often impossible to ignore. You might notice lukewarm water during your shower, puddles forming around the base of your storage tank, or unusual banging and hissing sounds coming from the unit. These symptoms can indicate a range of issues, from sediment build-up and failing heating elements to corroded anodes and pressure relief valve problems. Left unaddressed, even minor faults can escalate into costly repairs or complete system failure.
Water damage is another serious concern when hot water tanks develop leaks. A slow drip might seem manageable, but over time it can saturate flooring, damage walls, and create ideal conditions for mould growth. Sudden tank ruptures, though less common, can release hundreds of litres in minutes, causing devastating damage to your Gordon property. Energy costs can also spiral if your system is working inefficiently, with faulty thermostats or poorly insulated tanks forcing the unit to heat water continuously.
Sometimes the problem lies not with the tank itself but with related components like gas fitters' connections, electrical wiring, or water pressure regulators. If your pilot light keeps going out, your circuit breaker trips repeatedly, or you're experiencing inconsistent hot water delivery throughout your home, it's time to call in the professionals. Our expert plumbers can identify the root cause quickly and recommend the most practical solution, whether that's a targeted repair, component replacement, or advice on upgrading to a more energy-efficient system.

Common Questions Answered
Hot Water System FAQs
Over the years, we've answered thousands of questions about hot water systems from Gordon homeowners and business operators. We've compiled the most common queries here to help you understand your options and make informed decisions. If you don't find what you're looking for, our friendly team is always happy to provide expert advice tailored to your specific situation.
The ideal system depends on several factors including household size, energy preferences, available space, and budget. Gas hot water systems are popular for their quick recovery and lower running costs if natural gas is connected. Electric systems offer simplicity and work anywhere, while solar hot water systems provide excellent energy efficiency in our climate, particularly with Gordon's good sun exposure. Heat pump systems are gaining popularity as an energy-efficient middle ground. Our team can assess your property, discuss usage patterns, and recommend the most appropriate option that balances upfront costs with long-term savings and environmental considerations.
Several indicators suggest replacement might be more practical than ongoing repairs. Systems approaching or exceeding their expected lifespan, typically between eight and fifteen years depending on type and maintenance history, often become unreliable and expensive to keep running. Visible corrosion, persistent leaks, declining efficiency, and frequent breakdowns all point toward replacement. If repair costs approach half the price of a new installation, replacement usually offers better value. Advances in technology mean new systems are significantly more energy-efficient than older models, so replacement can actually reduce your ongoing energy costs. Our technicians provide honest assessments and detailed cost comparisons to help you make the right decision for your circumstances.
Sudden hot water loss can stem from various causes depending on your system type. For gas systems, the pilot light may have extinguished due to wind, debris, or a faulty thermocouple, or there might be gas supply interruptions. Electric systems often fail due to tripped circuit breakers, blown fuses, or failed heating elements. Both types can experience thermostat failures, which prevent proper temperature regulation. Sediment buildup in storage tanks can also reduce efficiency dramatically. In some cases, the issue lies with pressure relief valves or inlet and outlet connections. Because hot water systems involve gas, electricity, and pressurised water, attempting DIY diagnosis can be dangerous. Our qualified technicians have the expertise and safety equipment to identify problems quickly and resolve them properly.
Regular maintenance significantly extends system life and prevents unexpected failures. Annual professional inspections should include checking and testing the pressure relief valve, which is a critical safety component, inspecting the anode rod in storage tanks and replacing it when depleted, flushing sediment from the tank bottom, checking all electrical or gas connections, testing thermostat accuracy, and inspecting for corrosion or leaks. Between professional services, homeowners should occasionally test the pressure relief valve themselves and watch for warning signs like strange noises, water discolouration, or temperature fluctuations. Solar systems require additional attention to panels, pumps, and fluid levels. Gas systems need combustion checks and flue inspections. Proper maintenance prevents costly emergency repairs and ensures your system operates safely and efficiently throughout its lifespan.
Installation timeframes vary based on the system type and site conditions. Straightforward like-for-like replacements where we're swapping an old storage tank for a new one of similar size and fuel type typically take between two and four hours. More complex installations involving system type changes, relocations, or upgrades to meet current regulations can take a full day or occasionally longer. Solar hot water installations require roof work and take longer than conventional systems. Heat pump installations may need electrical upgrades. We always aim to minimise disruption and restore your hot water service as quickly as possible without compromising quality. During your initial consultation, we'll provide a realistic timeframe based on your specific situation so you can plan accordingly.
Various government and utility provider programs offer financial incentives for upgrading to energy-efficient hot water systems, though these change regularly and depend on your specific circumstances. Solar hot water systems and heat pump installations often qualify for support due to their reduced environmental impact and lower ongoing energy consumption. Some programs offer direct rebates, while others provide interest-free loans or point-of-sale discounts. Eligibility typically depends on factors like your existing system type, property location, household income, and whether you're replacing a failed system or upgrading a working one. Our team stays current with available programs and can guide you through eligibility requirements and application processes, helping you access any financial support that might reduce your upfront investment in a more efficient system.
