Who Can Repair my Hot Water System in Bunbury and the South West?

Hot water by Mainline

Autumn is in the air in the South West. While the days may still be warm and sunny, the temperature is dropping overnight and early mornings. Water is a resource most of us take for granted and hot water a luxury most homes and businesses can’t do without. As the weather continues to cool down, starting the day with a cold shower is not the ideal way to begin the day.

To ensure your hot water system is in good working order, it’s important to have it inspected and repaired regularly. How do you know it’s time to have your hot water system inspected and repaired? Read on to learn a few signs including:

  • Your hot water doesn’t stay hot
  • Unusual noises coming from your hot water system
  • Water leaking or pooling below or near your hot water system

Your hot water doesn’t stay hot

For many households, the first noticeable sign the hot water system needs repairing is your hot water doesn’t stay hot or is only lukewarm (or worse still cold!) Whether your hot water system is solar, electric or gas, they function in the same way in as they heat water, minerals separate and over time cause residue to build-up. The more residue, the harder your hot water system must work to keep your hot water at the right temperature.

Unusual noises coming from your hot water system

Have you noticed strange noises coming from your hot water system? Turning on your hot water tap to be greeted by out of the ordinary noises are a warning sign your hot water system needs inspecting. Don’t dismiss these out of the ordinary noises as if left, they can result in further damage needing more extensive repairs.

To regulate pressure in the water tank, ensuring it doesn’t over pressurise, hot water systems can release a small amount of water. This is normally more evident on hot days. However, if your hot water system releases more than the occasional drip or there is water leaking or pooling below or near your hot water system, this is a warning sign it needs repairing. If not repaired, a snowball effect can occur, residue can continue to build, resulting in corrosion, resulting in small cracks to appear, resulting in water leaking from your hot water system.
