Types of hot water systems we repair
We offer repairs for the following types of hot water systems:
- Storage hot water systems: These systems use insulated tanks to store hot water. You can get a gas storage or electric storage system. Your system may be experiencing issues like leaks which require swift repairs.
- Instant hot water systems: Also known as continuous flow systems, these systems heat hot water as needed rather than using a storage tank. They can be powered by gas or electricity, with each system type requiring unique repairs.
- Heat pump systems: These unique systems draw heat from the environment to function. Your system may need to be repaired if it has a faulty thermostat or a compressor malfunction.
- Solar hot water systems: Solar hot water systems use solar power directly to heat water. This raises a unique set of issues that may require repairs, such as damage to the system’s solar panels.
Common issues with hot water systems
Your hot water system might require repairs for the following reasons:
- Tripped circuit breaker: A tripped circuit breaker can cut power to your hot water unit, meaning there’s no hot water for you to use.
- Pilot light: In gas hot water systems, the pilot light ignites the main burner. If it’s out, there’s no flame to heat the water.
- Faulty thermostat: Faulty thermostats can affect a wide range of systems. Your system’s thermostat could be miscalibrated or completely broken, causing hot water issues.
- Sediment build-up: Minerals in water can settle at the bottom of the tank, creating a layer of sediment that reduces heating efficiency.
- Corroded tanks: Over time, the inside of your tank can corrode, leading to rust and leaks. This often requires full tank replacements.
- Valve issues: A wide range of valve issues can affect your hot water system. This can cause leaks and reduced hot water pressure.
If your hot water isn’t working, book a repair today to get your system operating at its best again.

Frequently asked questions
Can I repair my hot water system myself?
Aside from very minor issues, you should leave hot water repairs to the professionals. This is particularly crucial for any issues related to electricity or gas. Without the proper training and accreditation, you run the risk of electrocution and gas leaks.
Why is preventative maintenance important for hot water systems?
Preventative maintenance is a crucial way to keep your hot water system operating at its best. The benefits of preventative hot water maintenance include:
- Prevents breakdowns: Regular maintenance can prevent breakdowns and faults that require repairs. This means you aren’t caught needing urgent repairs.
- Extends lifespan: Preventative maintenance can extend the lifespan of your hot water system significantly. It helps avoid issues like corrosion which can require you to purchase a whole new model.
- Maintains efficiency: Addressing issues like sediment build-up allows your system to operate more efficiently, which can help you save on your utility bills.
- Ensures safety: Systems that aren’t properly maintained can present health and safety risks. For example, poorly maintained gas connections can result in dangerous gas leaks.
Why do hot water systems break?
Reasons hot water systems break down include:
- Age and wear and tear: Like any appliance, components degrade over time. Seals fail, metal corrodes, and electrical parts wear out.
- Lack of maintenance: If your tank is not properly maintained, you’re more likely to experience long-term issues. Maintenance allows you to identify emerging issues before they require urgent repairs.
- Poor installation: It’s crucial to get high-quality professionals to install your water heater. Poor installation can lead to ongoing issues like leaks and premature component failure.
Is it better to repair or replace a hot water heater?
This depends heavily on your specific circumstances. Many issues you may experience with a water heater can be repaired relatively affordably.
However, certain factors may make it more appropriate to replace your heater outright. This includes if your heater is approaching the end of its lifespan.
When you rely on Climate Plus for hot water repairs, our expert team will advise you on the best course of action, whether that’s a simple repair or a competitive quote for a system replacement.
What do I do if my hot water system breaks down?
If your hot water system breaks down, it may be appropriate to shut off your power and water supply if it’s safe for you to do so. For urgent hot water repairs between 8:30am and 4:45pm, give us a call on 02 6185 5151.
