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 Sydenham
Clear answers to common hot water questions from Sydney homeowners.
Why does my continuous flow hot water stop when I turn the tap down?
Continuous-flow units need a minimum water flow to stay operating. When the tap is reduced below that threshold, the burner shuts off. A blocked filter, restrictive shower head or faulty flow sensor can make this happen too easily.
How do I know if the thermostat needs replacing?
A faulty thermostat may cause water to stay cold, become excessively hot or trip the safety cut-out. The thermostat and element are tested together because either can produce similar symptoms.
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.
How can I tell if the heating element has failed?
Typical signs are no hot water, slow recovery or only a limited amount of hot water in a twin-element tank. An element must be tested electrically after safely isolating the circuit; visual inspection alone is not reliable. Read more about electric hot water systems.
Why does my relief valve discharge pipe need to be upgraded?
The pipe must discharge safely, remain visible where required, avoid creating a hazard and use suitable materials and fall. Old lines may be undersized, combined incorrectly, concealed or terminated in an unsafe location.
