Repair or replace?
Not every system needs replacing. Elements, thermostats, pressure relief valves and tempering valves can often be repaired at a fraction of the cost of a new unit. But once a storage cylinder is leaking, replacement is usually the only practical option. We’ll always give you the honest answer on-site, for free.

Hot water questions from Marrickville
Clear answers to common hot water questions from Sydney homeowners.
Why does my hot water smell strange or like rotten eggs?
A sulphur or rotten-egg smell can result from bacteria reacting with the sacrificial anode inside a storage tank, particularly after water has sat unused. Other odours may come from drains rather than the water itself. The source should be confirmed before changing parts.
Why is my hot water system leaking from the bottom?
Water at the bottom may be running down from a valve or pipe above, or it may be escaping from the tank itself. Drying the area and tracing the highest wet point helps identify the source. Leakage through the tank body means the cylinder is not repairable.
What is an expansion control valve (ECV), and does my hot water system need one?
An ECV relieves cold-water-side expansion as the stored water heats. Whether one is required depends on local water authority conditions, the valve arrangement and manufacturer instructions.
How often should a hot water system be serviced?
A general inspection every few years is sensible for most domestic systems, while manufacturers may specify particular intervals for relief valves, anodes, burners or heat-pump components. Commercial plant and heavily used systems usually need more frequent scheduled maintenance.
Will a heat pump work during winter or in cold weather?
Yes. Quality Australian-spec systems operate through Sydney winters, although efficiency and recovery can reduce as air temperature falls. Most include an electric boost element for unusually cold conditions or high demand. Read more about heat pump hot water.
