Signs your hot water system is on the way out

Note: This information relates to storage tank style hot water heaters.

Most people notice something is wrong with their hot water system when the water is no longer hot or the hot water only lasts for a short time. The signs a hot water system is failing can be felt in the shower, but there is also some visual checks you can do on your hot water system.

In some cases the hot water system storage tank is simply undersized and not capable of providing enough hot water for the amount of people living in the property.

• Water temperature is warm rather than hot
• Hot water does not last as long as it once did
• Water around base of hot water system
• Electricity breaker switch keeps tripping
• Leaking from pipes associated with the hot water system
• Corroded electrical components

Warning: Do not touch or investigate electrical components unless you are a qualified electrician. There is a risk of electrocution.

It can be difficult for customers to know whether their hot water technician is telling them the truth. Some hot water installers will quote super low prices over the phone and then increase the price after performing the job. Others will use inferior quality, cheap, imported products that may fail in a short amount of time. If the pricing seems to good to be true then it probably is.

At Brisbane Hot Water Services we generally recommend trusted hot water system brands, such as:

• Rheem
• Rinnai
• Dux
• Bosch
• Evoheat
• Quantum
• Vulcan
• Aquamax

We urge potential customers to only use ABN registered, insured and qualified local businesses for their hot water system repairs or installations.

If your installer is not licensed to do the job then it is likely any warranty will be voided if a problem arises.

There are a number of regulations relating to the correct installation of hot water systems.

Electric hot water systems are not quite as desirable as they once were. They do remain a cheap option to quickly replace your broken system however there are much more energy efficient systems nowadays. New types of systems such as heat pump can drastically reduce your hot water system bill. Heat pump technology is also now used in newer models of clothes dryers.
