Does your hot water tank need replacing? We’re here to help and offer fast assistance to customers in all Sydney suburbs.
Since 1998, our specialists have been repairing and replacing hot water tanks in homes and businesses throughout Sydney. Below we’ve outlined common reasons why our customers call us for hot water tank replacement.
Like all appliances, hot water heaters don’t last forever. If maintained correctly and serviced every 5 years or so, most tanks will last many years, even decades.
Unfortunately, as hot water systems get older, manufacturers stop producing spare parts and replacement tanks. When old systems encounter problems and need to be repaired, spare parts may not be available and hot water tank replacement is the only option.

READ THIS! IT WILL SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY
Did you know that a new hot water system is a big investment and often needs the installation and setup of plumbing, gas and electric components? This requires the experience and qualifications of both a licensed plumber and a licensed electrician. At Cheapa Hot Water, we are licensed and qualified to undertake any plumbing and electrical work required to complete your hot water system installation or repair 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.

If not, relight it according to the instructions in the manual or follow the instructions here if you have a Rheem Stellar or Rheem 5 Star gas hot water system. Not sure how to relight the gas pilot light? Contact us for assistance.
- Thermostat setting : Check the thermostat on your hot water tank is set to an appropriate temperature for hot water. Setting the temperature of your water heater »

- Tank capacity : If the capacity of your hot water tank is inadequate you may run out of hot water or have no hot water at all whilst you wait for it to heat up again.

Leaking Hot Water Tank
Leaking hot water tanks are one of the most common emergency calls we receive from our Sydney customers every day.
The outside location of most gas, electric and solar hot water systems mean that most people don’t realise their hot water heater is leaking until they start running out of hot water prematurely. Worse, it may not be until they completely run out of hot water that they take measures to locate the problem and, only then, discover the leak.
Of course, a leaking indoor hot water heater can also go unnoticed and usually causes bigger issues caused by internal water damage. This is why we strongly recommend that your hot water system should be serviced every five years or so as this should identify and resolve problems before they arise.
Unfortunately, a split tank is typically unable to be repaired and hot water tank replacement is required.
IMPORTANT: If your hot water heater is leaking a substantial amount, i.e. more than a bucket of water in 24 hours, we strongly recommend you call us on 0410 693 532 for advice and, if required, emergency assistance. This can be an indication of a more serious problem.
