Hot Water Systems

No hot water is one of those problems that’s fine to ignore for about five minutes, and then very much isn’t. We repair and install hot water systems across gas, electric, solar and heat pump types, and where a system’s reached the end of its working life, we’ll say so rather than patching something that’s going to fail again in a month.

One recent job involved a hot water unit that had stopped working entirely — Steven had it diagnosed and swapped over the same day it was reported. That’s the standard for straightforward replacements: same-day where the job allows for it.

Common signs your system needs attention

  • No hot water, or hot water that runs out much faster than it used to
  • Rumbling or banging noises from the unit, often a sign of sediment build-up
  • Water pooling around the base of the unit
  • Rusty or discoloured hot water

  • A pilot light that won’t stay lit (gas systems)

Repair or replace?

As a general guide, older systems nearing or past 10 years old are often more cost-effective to replace than to keep repairing, since parts get harder to source and efficiency drops off. That said, the right call depends on the specific fault and system type, so we’ll assess yours rather than giving a blanket answer.

Choosing a new system

Gas, electric, solar and heat pump systems all suit different households differently — a gas continuous flow system might suit a larger family, while a heat pump can make sense where running costs matter more than upfront price. We’ll talk through the options relevant to your situation rather than pushing a single default.
