Signs of a Faulty Hot Water System

Hot water systems generally have a lifespan of 10-15 years (if maintained properly). To ensure the longevity of your system, you should call a plumber if you notice any of the following warning signs:-

• Your hot water system produces no hot water.
• There’s a puddle around the water tank (signs of a tank leak).
• Water drips from the piping around the water tank.
• Your gas hot water system gives off an unusually strong gas smell.
• There’s evidence of rust around the base of the water tank.
• Loss of water pressure when you turn on the hot water.
• The hot water doesn’t last very long.
• The pilot light on your gas hot water system no longer works.
• Rust-coloured water flows from your taps.
• Your hot water system makes strange noises.

Repairs to Gas Hot Water Systems

Gas hot water systems (powered by LPG) are very popular on the NSW South Coast. Far South Plumbing repairs both “storage” and “continuous flow” gas hot water systems. Our team has access to a wide range of gas hot water system parts, including thermostats, diaphragms, heating elements and strainer valves. As a licensed gas plumber in Narooma (NSW Licence No: 333534C), we don’t take any shortcuts with respect to customer safety.

Repairs to Electric Hot Water Systems

Far South Plumbing repairs both “storage” and “heat pump” electric hot water systems. Our experienced plumbers (based in Narooma) are able to replace pressure limiting valves, damaged pipes and water tanks. If your problem is an electrical one (power supply, thermostat, heating element, etc), we can call on local electricians we know. In relation to heat pumps, we possess a good working knowledge of compressors, coils, air filters and reversing valves.
