Common Hot Water Problems We Fix

The most common causes behind faulty hot water systems are:

  • A tripped or faulty element or thermostat (for electric systems).
  • A pilot light or gas valve fault (for gas systems).
  • A failed tempering valve.
  • Sediment build-up.
  • A leaking tank or pipe.
  • Age/wear and tear.


Call us if you notice any of these signs in your system:

  • No hot water at all: Often caused by an element, thermostat, pilot light or gas-supply fault.
  • Water runs warm or goes cold quickly: Can be caused by a failing element, thermostat or an undersized/ageing unit.
  • Water is too hot: This dangerous issue is commonly caused by a faulty tempering valve.
  • Leaking unit or pipes: A leaking tank usually can’t be repaired and must be replaced. Leaking valves and fittings are often fixable.
  • Banging, rumbling or knocking noises: Usually caused by sediment build-up in the tank.
  • Rusty or discoloured hot water: Typically a result of tank corrosion or a spent anode.
  • Pilot light won’t stay lit: We’ll send a licensed gas fitter to fix the problem, which might be a thermocouple or gas valve issue.
  • Higher energy bills: This is the sign of a failing, inefficient system.

How Much Does Hot Water System Repair Cost in Sydney?

The cost of hot water repair depends on the fault and the system. Repairing thermostats, elements, thermocouples or tempering-valves is usually simple and affordable. On the other end of the spectrum, your entire tank may need to be replaced, which can be more pricey.

With All Needs Plumbing you always get an upfront, fixed price before we start repairs. We also offer $50 off your first service and a 10% seniors’ discount. Free call-outs apply during standard business hours (7:00am to 4:00pm, Monday to Friday).

Recent Hot Water Work in Sydney

When a Padstow Heights homeowner’s hot water system failed, our team was on-site fast to assess it. The old unit had reached the end of its life and was leaking. Rather than throw money at a system that wouldn’t last, we talked the owner through their options. 

Ultimately, we replaced it the same day with a suitable new unit. The homeowner was back to enjoying reliable hot water, without suffering cold showers for days on end.

When it makes sense to repair a system, we’ll do just that. If it isn’t the right option for you, we’ll make the replacement quick and stress-free.

“Highly recommended! Hot water system failure fixed literally within a couple of hours of me calling them for help. Marie in the office was friendly and so efficient, and Danny and Will could not have been nicer. They diagnosed and then replaced a failed very old Rinnai system very quickly, and got everything working despite very inclement weather. Fantastic.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is there no hot water in my house?

Contact us today for a fast solution to your hot water issue.

Should I repair or replace my hot water system?

If your system is leaking or badly corroded, it will generally need to be replaced. Most other water heater faults are repairable.

However, replacement might be the better option if your system is around 8–10 years old, and likely to run into further issues down the line. You can rely on our trusted plumbers to give you honest, high-quality advice about the right decision for your circumstances.

Do you repair gas, electric and solar hot water systems?

Yes. We’re experienced in dealing with any kind of hot water system, including gas, electric, solar, heat pump, storage, and continuous flow systems. Because we’re licensed gas fitters as well as plumbers, we can safely handle any issue you’re having with your gas system.

How quickly can you come out if I have no hot water?

We’re based in Kogarah and can often visit you the same day you get in touch, depending on where you live. If you’re experiencing a hot water emergency, call us on 1300 110 230 and we’ll send a plumber out ASAP.

What brands do you work with?

We’re highly experienced in dealing with all major brands, including Rheem, Rinnai, Thermann, Aquamax, Dux, Vulcan, and Bosch.

What should I do if I have a hot water emergency?

Faulty hot water systems can lead to plumbing emergencies. If you’re experiencing a hot water emergency, give us a call on 1300 110 230. Our team will provide guidance over the phone on steps you can take to reduce the immediate risk.

Depending on your situation, we may advise you to:

  • Turn off the control valve on the tank.
  • Turn off your water meter.
  • Turn off the electricity or gas supply.
  • If there’s a chance of a gas leak, you and your household should evacuate the area immediately.

What should I consider when choosing a new hot water system?

If you need a new hot water unit, our experienced team will guide you through everything you should consider to make the right purchase. Some important factors to think about are:

  • The size of your household: This influences the capacity you’ll require for your system.
  • The right fuel type: Gas and electric hot water systems have different running costs to consider. A solar system can be a strong long-term investment with higher upfront costs.
  • Space: We’ll make sure you choose a system that fits appropriately into your home.
  • Brand: We work closely with some of Australia’s leading hot water brands, and can advise you on finding the right model to match your needs.
  • Rebates: The NSW government offers rebates on certain types of hot water systems, including heat pump and solar systems. This can lead to significant savings on your installation.
