Heat Pumps hot waterWhat’s your hot water system doing?
Most calls to Advance Hotwater start with one of these. If yours is on the list, it is worth a conversation before anything gets replaced.
- No hot water at all
- Water not getting hot enough
- System is leaking
- Strange banging or rumbling noises
- Hot water runs out too quickly
- Tripping the safety switch

A note on safety: if you can smell gas, see scalding water or steam, or the system is tripping power repeatedly, stop using it and call us. Please don’t attempt electrical, gas or pressure-related repairs yourself.
Repair when it makes sense. Replace when it doesn’t.
A hot water problem doesn’t automatically mean a new system. An element, a thermostat, a valve, a solar controller, a gas ignition fault — these are components, and components can often be changed.
What matters is knowing which situation you are actually in. That means looking at the fault, the age and condition of the unit, and whether the repair is worth doing on a system that may be near the end of its life anyway.
When customers review Advance Hotwater, straightforward advice is one of the things that comes up most often — including advice that pointed people away from spending money they didn’t need to spend.
Often repairable
- Failed heating element or thermostat
- Leaking or weeping relief valve
- Gas ignition and control faults
- Solar pumps, controllers and sensors
- Tempering valve giving inconsistent temperature
- Seals, fittings and isolation valves
Usually points to replacement
- The tank or cylinder itself has corroded through
- Rusty water and a leak from the body of the unit
- Repair cost approaching the value of a new system
- Parts no longer available for an old model
Every system is different — the only way to know for certain is to have the fault assessed.
