From that revitalising post-surf shower at Emerald Beach to washing away the salt and sand after a family day at Diggers Beach, when the hot water goes AWOL, it throws your whole household into a frenzy faster than a rogue wave. And here’s a local truth: heating water can guzzle more energy than a hungry copper shark, often taking a significant bite out of your power bill!

Whether you’re facing a sudden hot water meltdown or you’re simply tired of lukewarm showers that fade faster than a summer sunset, these are all common signs that your hot water system needs some expert attention or a full-on hot water tank replacement.

Let's Get You Managing Your Hot Water More Effectively

While our Coffs Harbour team are your hot water experts for installs, repairs and plumbing maintenance of all system types (electric, solar and gas), here are a few quick tips for your hot water system and knowing when to give us a buzz:

  • Identify your system’s type & age. Knowing if it’s electric, gas or solar and its age (systems over 10 years might be less efficient) helps us advise you better on issues or upgrades.
  • Look at energy ratings for new systems. When buying new, higher star ratings on the best hot water system for your home mean real savings on your energy bills down the track.
  • Don’t skip regular maintenance. Like servicing your car, periodic checks (e.g. the sacrificial anode in storage tanks needs replacing every few years) help your hot water system last longer and run efficiently.
  • Listen for odd noises. If your system starts banging, popping, or hissing, it could mean sediment build-up or another issue that needs a professional look.
  • Test your TPR valve safely. Every 6 months, gently operate the temperature pressure relief (TPR) valve to help prevent mineral build-up. Be careful, the water released will be hot.
  • Insulate exposed hot water pipes. Wrapping older, exposed hot water pipes with insulation can reduce heat loss, meaning you save a bit on energy.

Your Hot Water System Maintenance Questions Answered

My old hot water system is costing a fortune to run! What are the benefits of upgrading to a new one?

That’s a common concern! Upgrading an outdated system can make a big difference. Newer models, especially solar or high-efficiency gas units, often mean significant savings on your energy bills. You’ll also enjoy more reliable and consistent hot water and reduce your home’s carbon footprint. We can even help you with support for government rebate claims to make the switch more affordable.

Good question! Sometimes it’s a simple fix, like a faulty thermostat or element. Other times, especially if your tank is old, leaking or very inefficient, a replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run. Our experienced plumbers will give you an honest assessment and explain the types of hot water systems that would best suit your needs and budget if a new unit is the way to go.

Getting the right advice on hot water systems upfront is so important. Here’s how we handle it: We start with an on-site consultation, looking at your house plans, discussing your family’s hot water usage, your energy preferences (gas, electric, solar), and your budget. Based on this, we can recommend the ideal size and type of system (perhaps a Rinnai continuous flow unit or an Apricus solar system) to provide reliable, energy-efficient hot water for years to come.
