When it comes to hot water service, several common issues can arise that may disrupt the availability or functionality of hot water in your home. Understanding these problems can help you troubleshoot and address them promptly. Let’s explore some of the most common hot water service problems:
When troubleshooting electric storage hot water systems, several factors can contribute to insufficient hot water or no hot water at all. Some potential causes include the electricity supply not being connected, using more hot water than expected, or incorrect thermostat settings. It’s important to ensure that the electricity supply is connected and functioning properly, check the thermostat settings, and be mindful of your hot water usage to avoid exceeding the system’s capacity.
In gas storage hot water systems, it’s essential to address any issues related to the Pressure & Temperature Relief Valve (PTR) to ensure the system operates smoothly. During the heating cycle, a small quantity of water may escape through the PTR valve, which is normal. However, if there is a continuous trickle of water or a steady flow of more than 20L per day from the PTR, it may indicate a problem. This could be due to excessive water supply pressure, a faulty PTR valve, or a faulty thermostat. In such cases, it is recommended to turn off the gas supply and contact our team for assistance.
A faulty thermostat can cause the hot water system to produce water that is either too hot or not hot enough. This can be an inconvenience and may even pose a safety risk. If you notice inconsistent water temperatures, it’s possible that the thermostat needs to be repaired or replaced.
If you find yourself running out of hot water sooner than usual, there may be an issue with your hot water system. Insufficient hot water could be caused by a malfunctioning burner or a gas supply issue in gas-powered systems. In electric systems, the problem may lie with the thermostat or other components. A professional evaluation can help diagnose and resolve the underlying cause.
Experiencing a sudden decrease in hot water temperature can be frustrating. This issue can be attributed to a malfunctioning dip tube, which is responsible for directing cold water to the bottom of the tank for heating. If the dip tube is damaged or broken, it can result in a decrease in hot water temperature. Additionally, a problem with the gas supply in gas-powered systems can also lead to a sudden drop in temperature. Seeking professional assistance can help identify and rectify the issue effectively.
A leaking hot water system is a clear indication of a problem. It could be caused by a faulty pressure relief valve or a failed internal component. Identifying the source of the leak is crucial in determining the appropriate course of action. Promptly addressing a leaking hot water system is important to avoid water damage and potential further complications.
Over time, sediment can accumulate in the hot water system, particularly in areas with hard water. This buildup can cause the water to become discoloured or develop a strange odour. Sediment can also lead to decreased efficiency and potentially damage the heating elements. Flushing the system periodically can help remove the sediment and ensure optimal performance.
While on holiday, we had a stuck bath plug, which wasn’t great with a toddler in tow. Ryan came to the rescue, arriving straight away and fixing the problem without any issues. He was so helpful and efficient, just what we needed! I only wish he lived in Melbourne so he could be our go-to plumber. Highly recommend his services!
Ryan had great communication and timely responses. We were offered an effective and affordable solution to a complex underground leak.
The team were knowledgeable and competent.The team were able to come out for same day service in an urgent situation. I have never had Tradies provide such an immaculate clean-up job. If you want honest, amiable and accommodating service - call these guys.
We recently had our gas hot water system replaced by Ryan as our existing one had failed. We discovered on a Friday, that our existing system was leaking a lot of water, and Ryan came out the same day and offered a temporary patch to get us through until we could get a replacement, which we were very grateful for. We were able to then schedule Ryan in the following week as planned and he completed a new install for us. Communication was great and we found Ryan easy to work with. We will use him again for any future work.
Ryan and Jazmine were both very friendly and efficient. From the time I made the booking to when Ryan arrived on site, I was updated on his arrival time. Ryan arrived at the time he advised and was very professional. I explained the issue with the gas fireplace and Ryan told me what the issues could be and what he would do to fix it. Within half an hour he had the fireplace working again and explained how he fixed it. While he was working on the fireplace, he had a mat on the floor to catch any dirt and gave the fireplace a thorough cleaning. I was very impressed with the quality of his work, and he will be the first person I call if I have any issues with the gas appliances.
What a great service this company gives. I was told a 2 pm arrival and got a text to say he was going to arrive at 2.10... who does that these days??/ so impressive. Took his shoes off on arrival, brought a blanket to keep the area clean... vacuumed up after..A very tidy 1 and half hours and the fire place is working well.., after 30 years of not having a service. Ryan was impressed with how clean it was, well it only gets used in the winter.. which is Queensland is not very often. Cannot recommend them too highly.
Ryan arrived right on time & I received regular texts about the appointment beforehand. He fixed my faulty fireplace quickly & then carried out a total service. He also left everything spotlessly clean & I’d definitely would not hesitate to use him again & highly recommend his services.
We recently completed a major renovation of our place at New Farm. Ryan was prompt to come out on site and look at the job, and he was super friendly, knowledgeable and quickly followed up with a firm / fixed price quote.
We had a laundry, shower and toilet that all required rough in and final fit off and Ryan did a top-quality job in every way. When we ran into a few issues with some of the products I supplied, Ryan went above and beyond to work with the supplier to resolve the issue, always wanting to ensure we had a good result.
I would highly recommend Ryan and thanks to both Ryan and Jazmine for delivering on what they said they would.
Great experience with Ryan when installing an integrated dishwasher. Came out at short notice. Very prompt and friendly, executed the work very well, and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend.
