Signs Your Hot Water System Needs Repair or Replacement

If you're experiencing problems with your hot water system, it's important to know when it's time for a repair or replacement in order to avoid unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs. Here are some signs that indicate your hot water system needs repair or replacement:

  • Age: If your hot water system is more than 10 years old, it may be time to consider a replacement. As systems age, they become less efficient and more prone to breakdowns. Hot water storage tanks on old electric hot water and gas hot water systems can also become rusted out and faulty. 
  • Noise: If your hot water system is making unusual noises, such as popping, cracking or rumbling sounds, it could be an indication of sediment build-up or a failing component.
  • Leaks: If you notice any leaks around your hot water system, it's essential to have it inspected and repaired promptly. Leaks can lead to water damage, mold growth and even structural damage if left unchecked.
  • Inconsistent Water Temperature: If your hot water system is delivering water at inconsistent temperatures, it could be a sign of a malfunctioning thermostat, heating element or other component.
  • Discoloured Water: If your hot water is discoloured or has a foul odour, it's a sign of sediment build-up or a failing component.


At Melbourne Plumbing Co, our team of experts can diagnose and repair any issues with your hot water system. We can also advise you on whether it's time to replace your old system with a more efficient and reliable one.

FAQs

Why has my hot water stopped working?

There could be several reasons why your hot water has stopped working. It could be due to a malfunctioning thermostat, a broken heating element, a tripped circuit breaker, a faulty pilot light, or a blown fuse. It's best to call a professional plumber like Melbourne Plumbing Co to diagnose and fix the issue.

Can my hot water heater be fixed?

In most cases, yes, your hot water heater can be fixed. It depends on the extent of the damage and the age of the unit. If the damage is too severe or the unit is too old, it may be more cost-effective to replace the entire unit rather than repair it.

What is the most common problem with water heaters?

The most common problem with water heaters is a build-up of sediment and mineral deposits in the tank, which can reduce the unit's efficiency and lifespan. Other common problems include a faulty thermostat, a broken heating element, a leaking tank, and a malfunctioning pressure relief valve.

Who repairs hot water systems?

Professional plumbers typically repair hot water systems. Melbourne Plumbing Co are the experts when it comes to hot water systems of all kinds. It's important to choose a licensed and experienced plumber who specialises in hot water repairs to ensure the job is done correctly and safely.

When should I worry about my water heater?

You should worry about your water heater if you notice any signs of a problem, such as a lack of hot water, discoloured or foul-smelling water, strange noises coming from the unit, or visible signs of damage or corrosion. It's best to address these issues promptly to avoid more serious and costly problems down the line.

During landscaping works in our garden we accidentally hit a water pipe and had water going everywhere. Melbourne Plumbing Co quickly came to the rescue. They were over at our place the same day and quickly had the broken pipe fixed, with friendly service to boot! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Melbourne Plumbing Co. 👌

I have no hesitation in recommending Melbourne Plumbing Co! All of my experiences and contact with them have been nothing but incredibly positive and they will be my first call for any future issues. Melanie was super responsive to my initial query when I had low water pressure and sent someone out to look at it quickly. David and Mo were both really friendly and thorough while looking at my issue. They were able to fix my water pressure in the first visit and explained what the problem was to me. My shower is now the more powerful than it has ever been! When my hot water unit died, Christian came to visit the next day and worked around my schedule. He was able to provide me with a quote on the same day and had someone come out the next day to fix it. David and Maddy were really lovely and worked quickly to get their part done before the electrician arrived. They were both so friendly and let me ask questions along the way while they took me through everything they were doing. Everyone who helped and came to my home was incredibly helpful, friendly, thorough, and helped me understand the problem and what they were doing to fix it. Special shout out to David who was very kind and is very skilled at his job while teaching others, and to Melanie who has been so lovely and helpful. Huge thank you for minimising the stress in these difficult situations! It is greatly appreciated

Simply brilliant. From the initial call to attending and completing repairs, I couldn't be more impressed by Aaron and Melbourne Plumbing Co, after urgent repair for burst plumbing and shower taps that were unable to be turned off. The leaking had also caused water ingress in the building and flooding downstairs and through the wall outside. Aaron promptly and easily identified the fault and was able to repair it "live" without mains access. Water was flooding through the wall behind the shower, and running outside and into the room downstairs. The burst and flooding was due to high water pressure required to supply slowly-leaking taps reported since moving in and quoted to repair in 2023 by rental agency plumbers (replace old tap washers), but repair work was never approved to be performed. The agency owner repeatedly refused to approve repair work and insisted on attending and personally viewing the property faults and repair issues (which included rusty water and recurrent failure of the electricity supply). He reached in to the shower and turned the leaking shower taps even tighter in the off direction in 2023 to demonstrate how he had solved the faulty taps and any need for plumbing repair. The agent stated that the taps were simply not turned tight enough "off". He advised me I "just need to turn them off tighter" in order prevent the water that was leaking from the shower head and also leaking directly from the tap spindles, particularly leaking from the tap spindle for the hot water. As a result, this and the un-repaired taps allowed the leaking water to continue leaking from the tap and shower fixtures, and water pressure to continue to increase for over 12 months. This also meant Aaron had to attend and repair the burst and had high pressure running shower water and external flooding to combat to isolate the issues and fault and perform the repair work. Couldn't be more impressed with the professionalism and ability to Melbourne Plumbing Co to respond, identify and complete repair. Melanie was also fantastic and very prompt, and made everything easy. No hesitation in recommending them. Highly capable, efficient, and thorough. A special comment about Aaron, and his pride and workmanship- despite his youth, he seemed like he’d been a plumber for over 50 years. He had so much integrity for his trade and dedication to helping and getting the job done. Extremely experienced, calm, reliable and trustworthy. Can’t thank and commend him enough.

Amazing ... we were waiting longer than a month for our usual plumber so rang Melb Plumbing. It wasn't an emergency but they had a free plumber available and were at our place in 15 minutes. Yes 15 min! They were professional, polite, asked how we wanted our taps set, listened to us, explained what they were doing, did the job very efficiently and cleaned up. They are fantastic. Even made sure the dog didn't escape out the door. David and Mo ... thanks for your excellent work. Price was fair and reasonable for a few hours of tricky quarter turn taps, kitchen mixer and shower set replacements. Highly recommended.

If you require a plumber/s in an emergency these are the people to call. I had a serious issue with my Hot Waterservice (no HOT WATER coming through the tap), my worst nightmare. Fortunately a Plumber by the name of Arron arrived checked out the issue and went to work. Solved the problem and explained the issue. Not only that he replaced my bathroom taps, kitchen taps and adjusted the ones in tha laundary. Try turning on a Tap that has been locked for a number of years. Arron did the hard work for me and made everything new again (Magic).The cost was very competitive and I would recommend that you give them a call if that plumbing nightmare rears its ugly head in your home and let Melbourne Plumbing deal with it so that you can have that warm shower and sleep in peace.

Chris and his team have done a fabulous and professional job moving and installing new plumbing and appliances for our new kitchen. The job was completed ahead of schedule to an excellent standard! Communication and responsiveness were both excellent. What we appreciated the most was the diligence and care that was shown towards our kitchen space when installing the sink, tap, oven and dishwasher after the cabinetry and stone was installed. This is a rare trait and one to be applauded. We would have no hesitation in hiring Chris and his team from Melbourne Plumbing Co and we will do so again when we tackle our bathroom and laundry.

The guys were great. There were 2 new toilets,new shower suite and new faucets installed. All done professionally with smiles and provided work updates as it all progressed. Their work area was always left clean. These new installations were required because of my hip issues. Melbourne plumbing were aware and helped me select the products for my needs. Christian was informative and patient. Also wanted to mention that I love my new rain shower with handle. It makes showering so much easier as do the new toilets and faucets. I highly recommend Melbourne Plumbing for not only the plumbing and installation, but also for assisting in choosing the right products for my bathroom. Yes I highly recommend Melbourne Plumbing.
