Common Hot Water Issues in Highton
No Hot Water
A complete loss of hot water in Highton homes can be caused by a faulty thermostat, broken heating element, gas supply issues, or a failed pilot light. Our plumbers diagnose and repair the issue fast.
Leaking Hot Water System
A leaking hot water unit can cause significant water damage if not addressed quickly. Common causes include a failed temperature and pressure relief valve, corroded tank, or worn inlet/outlet connections.
Inconsistent Water Temperature
If your hot water temperature fluctuates between hot and cold, you may have a faulty tempering valve, sediment build-up in the tank, or an undersized system for your household demand.
From Our Plumbers
"When Highton homeowners call about hot water issues, we always check the age of the system first. Most hot water systems last 8-12 years. If yours is older, a replacement with a modern energy-efficient model often works out cheaper than repeated repairs."

What brands of hot water systems do you install in Highton?
We install and service all major brands including Rheem, Rinnai, Bosch, Dux, AquaMax, Thermann, and Stiebel Eltron. We can recommend the best system for your home and budget.
How long does a hot water system last?
Most hot water systems last 8-12 years depending on the type, brand, and maintenance. Gas storage systems typically last 8-10 years, while electric systems can last 10-12 years. Heat pumps and solar systems often last longer.
Should I repair or replace my hot water system?
If your system is under 8 years old, a repair is usually cost-effective. If it's older or has multiple issues, replacement with a modern energy-efficient model is often the better investment.
How quickly can you replace a hot water system in Highton?
In most cases, we can replace your hot water system on the same day. We carry common models on our vans and can source others quickly from local suppliers.
What size hot water system do I need?
The right size depends on your household size and usage. As a guide: 1-2 people need 125-160L, 3-4 people need 250-315L, and 5+ people need 315-400L for storage systems. Continuous flow systems are sized by flow rate.
