Hot Water Repairs Perth
Expert diagnosis and repair of all hot water system types. We fix what can be fixed and give honest advice when replacement is the better option.
When your hot water stops working, you need it fixed quickly. Our technicians diagnose and repair all types of hot water systems, and provide honest advice about when repair makes sense versus replacement.
Common Hot Water Problems
No Hot Water
Possible causes:
- Electric: Failed element or thermostat, tripped circuit breaker
- Gas storage: Pilot light out, thermocouple failure, gas supply issue
- Gas instantaneous: Flow sensor fault, ignition failure, gas valve issue
- Heat pump: Compressor fault, refrigerant leak, controller failure
- Solar: Pump failure, blocked circulation, booster fault
Not Enough Hot Water
Possible causes:
- Undersized tank for household needs
- Sediment build-up reducing effective capacity
- Faulty thermostat (heating to lower temperature)
- Dip tube failure (mixing cold and hot water)
- High demand exceeding recovery rate
Water Too Hot or Scalding
Possible causes:
- Faulty thermostat (not cutting off at set temperature)
- Tempering valve failure
- Incorrect thermostat setting
This is a safety issue requiring immediate attention.
Leaking System
Possible causes:
- Tank corrosion (often indicates end of life)
- Failed pressure relief valve
- Loose fittings
- Failed seals or gaskets
Tank leaks from corrosion typically mean replacement is needed.

Repair vs Replace Decision
We help you decide based on:
| Factor | Lean Toward Repair | Lean Toward Replace |
|---|---|---|
| System age | Under 8 years | Over 12 years |
| Repair cost | Under 30% of new | Over 50% of new |
| Previous repairs | First major repair | Multiple recent repairs |
| Tank condition | Sound, no corrosion | Rust, leaking, sediment |
| Efficiency | Acceptable | Very high running costs |
We never pressure you into replacement. Some older systems have years of life left with proper repairs.
