Replace gas hot water system.

This Avalon customer (Northern Beaches Sydney) contacted us first thing on a Saturday morning when they woke to discover they had no hot water.

The thought of no hot water over the weekend for this busy family, complete with three teenage girls, filled the parents with dread and they booked an emergency service call-out for that morning.

The hot water storage tank was split and leaking water

Once onsite, Steve ran a series of tests on the customer’s existing solar hot water system (with gas backup) to determine why they had no hot water. Steve uncovered a few problems, including a split in the cylinder that was slowly leaking, so asked the customer for more information.  She explained that their hot water had been unreliable for some time. This would explain why they were running out of hot water – it had been leaking out of the split in the storage tank.

Servicing your hot water heater can prevent a catastrophic breakdown

Typically, smaller problems (such as unreliable hot water delivery) are a sign that a bigger problem, such as a complete breakdown, is on the horizon.  Had the split and leaking cylinder been left unattended, it would most probably have eventually burst.

Unfortunately, the manufacturers of the customer’s existing solar hot water system had stopped producing spare parts making it beyond economical repair. A replacement hot water system was necessary.

Switching from solar to gas hot water

Steve discussed solar hot water replacement options.  The customer explained that she was very interested in switching from solar to gas hot water.

Steve went on to explain the various gas hot water systems within their budget and the customer decided to install a new Rheem Stellar 160 litre gas hot water replacement system (model: 850360). The new hot water system could be installed in the same location at the side of the house.  We were able to utilise the existing gas pipes that were used for the gas backup for the old solar hot water system.

The customer’s hot water usage requirements had changed.

Since installing their original solar HWS, the family’s hot water usage requirements had changed considerably.

The children had grown into teenagers and enjoyed much longer showers than when they were younger. Additionally, the house had been extensively renovated and they were now running two dishwashers.  There was also a lot more clothes washing!

They would definitely need the biggest storage tank their budget would allow to ensure they didn’t run out of hot water.

Save time and money by employing a local hot water expert

Did you know that often the repair and installation of a hot water system requires the expertise and qualifications of both a licensed plumber and a licensed electrician?

We are qualified to undertake any plumbing and electrical work required to ensure your hot water heater is repaired quickly and within budget. Plumbers who do not specialise in the installation of hot water heaters may need to outsource the electrical work required to another tradesperson, thereby holding up your hot water system repair or installation, adding extra expense due to additional call-out fees charged by employing two tradespeople.

Your hot water heater is an expensive appliance. Don’t risk voiding your warranty.

Additionally, most manufacturers won’t cover the terms of your hot water system warranty if it isn’t installed by a licensed hot water technician or a qualified plumber. Hot water tanks are an expensive appliance so why would you risk voiding your warranty by installing it yourself or employing the services of someone who isn’t licensed?
