FAQs

What could be wrong with my hot water heater?

There could be a number of issues causing the root problem with your hot water heater. You could have leakage of water or gas, poor water storage or your pilot light could be in disrepair, to name a few potential findings. 

What are some indicators that I should have my hot water tank or heater inspected?

There are a few things to look for if you think your water heating system needs servicing, such as:

• Leaks near the hot water tank

• Hot water smelling off or having a discoloured/gritty appearance

• Noises coming from the tank

• Inefficient or insufficient water heating

• Rust appearing in the water or on the tank itself

If you see any of the red flags listed above, give us a call and we will assist.

How do I know if my hot water heater needs repair or replacement?

There are a few factors to consider when deciding whether a hot water heater needs replacement or repair, for example:

• The age of the system: If the heater or tank is nearing the end of its life expectancy, it might be more financially savvy to invest in a new unit. 

• How much repair and maintenance has already been required: If you’ve found yourself sinking a lot of money into repairs, perhaps a new water heater is a wise decision. On the other hand, if repairs have been minimal so far, you might be able to get by with some minor servicing and keep the hot water flowing for years to come.

• The cost of running your current hot water heater: In some cases, replacing your hot water heater can actually save you significant money on your heating bills. Newer systems can be more efficient, providing a greater amount of heat for less cost. 

The best thing to do is to call our experts and let them assess the job. They can tell you upfront whether it’s more economical to replace or to repair.

How long do hot water heaters generally last?

If maintained regularly, most hot water heaters will remain in working condition for 10 to 15 years.
