Hot Water Systems Perth 

No hot water – or thinking about replacing your system?

A failed hot water system gets your attention fast. Whether it’s stopped working entirely, running out of hot water too quickly, or making noises it shouldn’t be, we can help.

We work on all types of hot water systems, including electric, gas, heat pump and solar systems, and we’re familiar with all the major brands. In most cases, we can diagnose the problem and provide a quote on the same visit. If the system is beyond repair or nearing the end of its lifespan, we’ll let you know honestly and help you choose a replacement that suits your household.

We also install new hot water systems, whether you’re upgrading an ageing unit, building a new home, or switching from one type of system to another.

Warning Signs

Signs your hot water system needs attention

Don’t ignore these early warning signs

No hot water

Could be a failed element, thermostat, pilot light or the system itself. We’ll diagnose it on the same visit where possible.

Running out of hot water quickly

If the system isn’t keeping up with demand, it may be undersized for your household, or a component may be failing

Discoloured or rusty water

Brown or rusty water from the hot tap often indicates corrosion inside the tank.

Leaking around the unit

Water pooling around the base of a storage system can indicate a failing pressure relief valve or a tank that’s starting to corrode through.

Unusual noises

Popping, rumbling or hissing sounds can indicate sediment build-up, a failing element or pressure issues.

Age of the system

Most hot water systems last 8-12 years. If yours is older and starting to give trouble, a replacement is often more cost-effective than ongoing repairs.

3

4

Remove the old unit

If we’re replacing your system, we’ll remove and dispose of the old one.

Common Questions

Hot water system FAQs

Answers to the questions we get asked most often about hot water systems in Perth.

Most storage systems last 8-12 years. Continuous flow systems often last longer. Once a system needs repairs regularly, replacement is usually the smarter long-term option.

It depends on your household size, energy source and usage patterns. Heat pump systems are efficient but have a higher upfront cost. We’ll help you weigh up the options without pushing you toward the most expensive one.

For common faults like a failed element or thermostat, yes – we often carry the parts needed. More complex repairs or new installations may require a scheduled visit.

A small drip from the pressure relief valve is sometimes normal. Significant leaking from the tank itself is a sign of internal corrosion – turn off the power or gas to the unit and call us.

If the system is more than 10 years old and needs a significant repair, it’s usually worth considering replacement. We’ll give you our honest view on whether the repair makes financial sense.
