How Long Do Hot Water Systems Last?
Normally, a traditional hot water system has a life span of around 10 to 12 years. However, a tankless heater can last up to 20 years.
When Will Your Hot Water System Require A Service?
During their life span, problems often start out small. As a consequence, water heaters’ problems go unnoticed and keep getting worse until it’s too late to fix. For example:
You are running out of hot water more and more often.
The water temperature keeps changing while you are using it.
The water is not heated properly until it is not heated at all.
The system can make noises from small to loud.
The water pressure is low or changes continuously.
Water is leaking out of the hot water system.
Hot Water Installation & Replacement Geelong FAQs
We install and replace the main system types you’ll see around Geelong: electric, gas, and solar hot water, and we can also work with heat pump systems. If you’re not sure what suits your place, we’ll talk through how many people are using hot water, your peak times, whether you’ve got gas available, and what you want to spend upfront versus running costs. We can source systems across different brands, then supply, install, test, and get you back to reliable hot water fast.
Most hot water installs are done the same day once the right unit is on site. A straight swap, like replacing an old electric storage unit with a new one in the same spot, is usually a few hours. If you’re changing the system type (say electric to gas or adding solar), it can take longer because there’s extra pipework, valves, and set-up to get right. Either way, we’ll let you know the plan before we start, then install, test, and make sure everything’s working properly.
If it’s a simple fault, a repair can be worth it. But if the tank is leaking, the system keeps breaking down, or it’s clearly past its best, replacement is often the smarter move. Warning signs include rusty water, water pooling around the unit, inconsistent temperatures, or your hot water running out too quickly. Another clue is rising running costs, especially on older electric units. We can inspect the system, explain what’s failed, and give you an honest call on whether a repair makes sense.
Yes. When we replace your hot water unit, we don’t leave the old one sitting there for you to deal with. We’ll isolate it, disconnect it properly, drain it, and take it away once the new system is in and running. We keep things tidy as we go because the last thing you want is water everywhere or bits left behind. If the unit can be recycled, we’ll send it that way. And if it’s wedged into a tight corner or down a narrow side path, we’ll work out the safest way to get it out without smashing walls, doors, or your garden on the way past.
Yes. We’re fully licensed for hot water installs, including gas, electric, and solar. We’ll isolate everything properly, install it to the rules, test it, and issue the compliance certificate when it’s required, so you know it’s been done safely and you’re covered. With solar hot water systems, we’ll make sure the system is sized correctly and the booster set-up is right for your household, so you actually get the hot water you expect. If you’re unsure what’s involved, just ask.
They do. Your new hot water system will come with the manufacturer’s warranty, and the length depends on the brand and model you choose. We guarantee our workmanship, so if something isn’t right after the install, we’ll come back and fix it. We also test the unit properly before we leave and can supply the compliance paperwork as part of the installation service. If you want peace of mind, we’ll run through the warranty details before you commit, so you know exactly what you’re covered for.
