Frequently Asked Questions
How long do hot water systems last?
The lifespan of a hot water system depends on the type and how well it’s maintained. Electric units typically last 8–12 years, while gas systems may last 10–15 years. Solar systems, when properly serviced, can often last more than 15 years. Regular servicing, such as flushing the tank and checking valves, helps extend the life of the unit and ensures it runs efficiently.
Why is my hot water running out so quickly?
If your hot water runs out faster than usual, the problem could be a faulty thermostat, a failing heating element, sediment build-up in the tank or the system being undersized for your current household needs. In some cases, increased water demand from additional occupants or appliances may mean you need to upgrade to a larger unit. Regular maintenance can help prevent these issues.
Should I repair or replace my hot water system?
Minor issues, like replacing a valve or thermostat, can often be repaired cost-effectively. However, if your unit is more than 10 years old, has recurring issues or is no longer meeting your hot water needs, replacement is usually the better long-term option. A new system may be more efficient, saving you money on running costs and reducing the risk of sudden failures.
Choosing the Right Hot Water System
Hot water systems aren’t one-size-fits-all, and choosing the wrong option can lead to high energy bills or constant breakdowns. Factors such as household size, water usage habits and fuel type all play an important role in selecting the right unit.
Professional advice helps ensure you get the best fit, whether that’s a gas, electric or solar hot water system. Routine servicing is just as important, extending the life of your unit and reducing the risk of unexpected failures. A well-maintained system saves money, conserves energy and provides peace of mind that hot water will always be there when you need it.
