Sound familiar?

  • No hot water at all, or it runs out faster than it used to
  • Water dripping from the relief valve or pooling under the tank
  • Rusty or discoloured hot water
  • The pilot light keeps going out
  • Rumbling or popping noises from the tank
  • Power or gas bills higher than they should be

Repair or replace? The honest answer

A failed thermostat, element or valve is often a straightforward repair. A leaking tank isn’t: once the tank itself leaks, it’s time to replace it. Most storage systems last around 8 to 12 years, so age matters too. We explain what we find and the cost of each option before doing anything.

Choosing a new system

Gas continuous flow

Endless hot water, compact, suits bigger households

Gas or electric storage

Simple, lower upfront cost, easy like-for-like swaps

Heat pump

Lowest running costs, pairs well with solar panels

Common questions

How often should my hot water system be serviced?

Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation. Relief valves should be checked regularly, and a service every few years helps the system last longer.

How much does a new hot water system cost?

It depends on the type, size and how complex the install is. We’ll give you a fixed quote before starting.

Should I repair or replace my hot water system?

If the tank is leaking or the system is near the end of its life, replacing it usually makes more sense. If not, a repair is often the better value. We’ll tell you which.
