Hot Water System Repairs Gold Coast

How long do hot water systems last? Typically 10 years or more. You can extend the lifespan of a hot water system with regular maintenance, which our hot water system specialists recommend every 12 months. If you have hot water problems and your unit is less than 10 years old, it’s likely that a simple repair could have your existing hot water system back in service. Often, just replacing a heater valve or element is all that’s needed as they wear out well before the storage tanks.

Low hot water pressure, leaking hot water systems or no hot water at all, Gold Coast Plumbing Experts have seen every problem before and have the industry expertise to handle all of it. We offer our hot water heating services to industrial, residential and commercial properties, and can normally repair or install a hot water system Gold Coast-wide within hours of your call.

And don’t forget: there’s always a Gold Coast Plumbing Experts team member on the other end of our 24/7 emergency hotline whenever you need us.

So, give our local team at Gold Coast Plumbing Experts a call on 1300 600 632 to discuss your particular issue and options.

What Size Hot Water System Do I Need?

Choosing the right system size depends on your hot water needs, mainly the number of people in your home and your daily usage.

For instantaneous hot water systems, their size is based on their flow rate, essentially how much water it can supply per minute. An under sink hot water system, for example, only needs to be small because it supplies one outlet: the sink. A high-capacity whole-house system, however, is designed to handle multiple outlets, like a shower, washing machine and bath running at the same time.

With hot water systems which rely on storage tanks, storage size is the key factor to get right – so you don’t run out of hot water.

Whatever your hot water needs, we we provide advice for your hot water system sizing so it’s just right for you.

Hot Water System Brand

We install, repair and maintain the top brands and performers, according to the Choice Magazine reliability survey.

These include:

  • Rheem: the trusted name in hot water since 1936.
    Rinnai: Japanese quality,  manufactured in Australia.
    Aquamax: creators of the first 5-star energy-rated electric hot water systems.
  • Dux, Thermann, Bosch and more.

Our plumbers and technicians will also dispose of your old hot water system.

Gold Coast-Wide Installation & Compliance

The Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) reports that up to 40% of hot water installations fail to meet mandatory standards. Non-compliant work is hazardous, can void your home insurance, and often requires a second callout to fix.

Don’t risk it. Our licensed plumbers and gas fitters provide a 100% workmanship guarantee on every job.

Hot Water FAQ

Do I need a plumber or electrician for electric hot water systems?

Typically, you need both, but our plumbers are also licensed for the electrical connection and disconnection of electric hot water systems. So, choosing Gold Coast Plumbing Experts for hot water services means it’s just one call and the whole job is done.

How long does it take to heat a 250 litre hot water system?

For an electric storage hot water system it takes 1 hour to heat 100 litres of water on average. So, for a 250 litre tank, it should take around 2-3 hours. If you still have no hot water from a 250 litre system after 2.5 hours, you likely have some hot water problems and should contact us to assist.

Do you take away my old hot water unit?

There’s nothing as unsightly as a rusty old hot water system sitting in your yard! We’ll remove your old hot water heaters from your property, leaving the area nice and tidy so you can just enjoy having hot water flowing again.

What are gas hot water systems, and which are the leading brands recommended?

A gas hot water system is a water heating solution that uses natural gas as its primary fuel source heat water. These systems are known for their efficiency and continuous hot water supply.

When considering a gas hot water system, you should consult hot water specialists, like us, who can provide expert guidance on what brand and model works for your home. We will assess your hot water requirements and recommend suitable options from leading brands such as Rheem, Rinnai, Bosch. Choosing a reliable brand and seeking professional advice ensures an efficient and dependable hot water system for your home.

How much does a hot water system cost?

The cost of a hot water installation includes the unit itself plus labour.

Most installations are straightforward, especially with ‘like-for-like’ replacements where you’re swapping the old unit for a new unit that uses the same type of hot water system. Whereas, changing the type of hot water unit (typically from electric to gas) requires installing new pipes and fittings which is more time consuming and generally more expensive.

Generally, an electric hot water unit is cheaper than a gas system, but the finale price can vary depending on the size of the unit.

Can heat pumps be used as reliable hot water systems for supplying hot water, either as a new unit or integrated into an existing system?

Absolutely! Heat pumps are highly efficient and environmentally friendly devices that can serve as reliable hot water systems for residential and commercial settings. Whether you want to install a new unit or upgrade your existing hot water system, heat pumps offer a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution.

What should the life expectancy of a hot water system be?

Most hot-water system warranties and lifespan are generally around 6-10 years. With proper maintenance, a standard electric storage tank should last at least 10-12 years. While, Gas and instantaneous systems can have a longer life span than standard electric tanks. Factors like local water quality and regular servicing, do influence maximum system service life.
