If your electric hot water system isn’t working, a qualified hot water plumber is needed to assess and repair it. Depending on the system’s age and the issues, we can often have it back up and running the same day. If specific parts are required, it typically takes just a few days. Electric hot water and heating systems are generally easier to fix than gas systems due to having fewer moving and mechanical parts, often just requiring calibration, cleaning, and occasional part replacements throughout their lifespan.
We cover Boolaroo, Warners Bay, Speers Point and Lake Macquarie for the servicing and repair of gas hot water systems and new system installations of gas and electric systems. Just get in touch for a free, no obligation quote.
While some noise is normal, excessive and unusual sounds like knocking, banging, popping, and rumbling indicate that your heater likely needs servicing or repair.
Over time, storage tank-based systems lose their heating efficiency, leading to lower maximum temperatures and less available hot water.
Sediment and rust can accumulate inside the storage tank. While sediment can be drained, rust is often irreparable, making tank replacement a more cost-effective solution.
Inconsistent water temperatures are a common sign of a failing hot water system. If the unit isn’t very old, it might just need a simple repair or service. However, older units may need replacement.
Low or trickling hot water from taps suggests sediment blockages in the tank, reducing pressure. While hard to fix in storage tanks, tankless systems can often be repaired.
Systems over 10 years old, especially those 15 years or more, might need to be replaced. Older systems perform less efficiently and cost more to run, while newer models are more energy-efficient. Regular servicing can extend lifespan, but annual checks are recommended for systems over 5 years old.
A significant increase in gas bills (beyond typical cost increases) often indicates an inefficient hot water heater. Repairs or servicing can improve efficiency and reduce costs.
If you have wet pipes, damp patches or suspect a leak, this can give your hot water system serious performance problems

Yes usually, but we will let you know. Once we have seen the system, model, its age and condition we will be well-placed to advise on the best solution, whether that be repairing it or perhaps upgrading to a newer more efficient system.

Yes but not always. Most systems will have common problems we can fix with parts we carry or we can just service and calibrate them to get them working again. Sometimes the problem may require more specialised parts which can take longer

In many cases, older electric hot water systems can still be repaired, especially if the fault is simple. If replacement components are available and the tank remains in good condition this also means we can make an effective repair. However, if the system is badly corroded, inefficient or experiencing repeated faults, replacing it may be a more practical long-term solution
