Same Day Hot Water Unit Service with Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas
Have you noticed that with the change in weather your hot water unit isn’t performing as well as it used to? Is your hot water only running lukewarm or does it take considerable time for the water to heat to a desirable temperature? It is likely that your hot water unit is faulty or, worst case scenario, on it’s last legs. Regular maintenance can ensure that hot water units are running efficiently, however it’s not a common priority for most home owners.
Hot water units are like any household appliance and will start to show signs of wear and tear after time. If your hot water is not running as it should, it may be a very small repair that is required to bring it back to life, or it could be something more serious. Don’t wait for your shower to run cold, Mainline Plumbing & Cheap Hot Water & Gas can assist with all areas of hot water unit maintenance and repair and offer a same day service on all hot water unit issues.
There are several reasons your hot water unit might be running less efficiently that might not involve complete replacement, including:
- Age
- Broken thermostat
- Sediment Build up
Age
Hot water units age like any other household appliance and become less efficient over time. Generally, a hot water unit has a lifespan of approximately 10 years (dependant on model, make and level of household usage). If you are aware that your hot water unit is older than this, it is important to have it regularly serviced. A quick inspection may find a small fault that can be rectified and add a few more years to your older unit’s lifespan.
Broken Thermostat
The thermostat is the component that regulates gas intake from an attached fuel supply and, if faulty or broken, will not allow the unit to receive the signal to heat your water. This is a simple problem to fix but must be done only by a professional who can asses the unit and decide if an alternate thermostat can be fitted to improve efficiency.
Sediment Build Up
Over time, water contaminants can build up the bottom of your hot water unit, preventing it from producing enough hot water and clogging up the pipes. It can also cause great damage to the heating element. Bunbury water often has high levels of calcium and other minerals, so it pays to get a local expert to inspect your hot unit. Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas know just how much sediment is too much for our local conditions.

Blocked drains and plumbing pipes are a common occurrence in Australian households and can become a big problem very quickly. Not only to blockages damage pipes and cause bacteria to grow within them, they can be very costly to repair if the blockage causes a leak, requiring pipes to be replaced.
Putting up with a blocked pipe not only means your water runs less efficiently, it can result in water being wasted and an increase in water consumption bills. Blockages typically lead to build up of pressure and plumbing leaks, which, in turn, result in water being lost and damaging walls, outdoor structures and gardens.
A gas leak is a serious hazard and should be inspected and repaired immediately by a 
Gas cooking can be significantly more economical than electric elements and stove top cooking with gas is a traditional method that has maintained its’ popularity due to the more efficient cooking times and higher-grade quality of heat production. But gas stove tops are a prominent culprit when it comes to leaks and can easily be switched on and left on by both adults and children. If you can smell even the faintest of gas odours when not cooking with gas, call the licensed professionals at Mainline Plumbing immediately.
Gas Repairs and Maintenance
If your hot water flow significantly decreases or stops completely whilst you are in the shower or running dish water, your most likely culprit is that someone is using the water elsewhere in the house or that the hot water has ‘run out’. It can take over 30 mins for some water heaters to re-heat a full tank of water and a household’s increasing number of showers, loads of washing, dishwasher or sink fills can tax your hot water system’s maximum capacity. An instantaneous hot water unit can simply heat the required amount of water as it moves through a heated coil, that may be able to assist with your growing families water requirements.

They may seem small enough, but ciggie butts are worse flushed than they are butted out and tossed in the bin. Butts just do not break down (have you not seen those stubborn butts still sitting on street verges after being rained on all winter?) and lead to big problems with blockages and pollution.
