When should you replace your hot water tank?
Unfortunately, hot water systems don’t last forever. While regular servicing every 5 years can extend the life of your system, most storage hot water tanks will eventually need replacing due to age, corrosion or component failure.
Why customers replace their hot water tank:
- Your hot water tank is leaking or has split
- You have no hot water or inconsistent hot water
- The system frequently breaks down
- Rust-coloured or dirty water is coming from your taps
- The tank is heavily corroded
- Replacement parts are no longer available
- Your household has outgrown the current system
- You want to reduce your energy bills with a more efficient model
- Storm damage, flood, hail and insurance claims
Our hot water service technicians will always assess whether your existing system can be repaired before recommending replacement.

What affects the cost of replacing a hot water tank?
The cost depends on the size and type of tank, the model you choose, access to the installation area and whether the existing plumbing, electrical or gas connections need changing. Replacing a tank with a similar model is generally simpler than switching to a different type of hot water system.
We can assess your existing tank, explain suitable options and provide a quote for the work required. Ask us about delivery, removal of the old tank and any rebates available for an eligible upgrade.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a hot water tank last?
Most storage hot water systems last between 8 and 15 years, depending on the brand, water quality, maintenance and usage. Regular servicing can help maximise the life of your system.
Can a leaking hot water tank be repaired?
It depends on the source of the leak. Leaking valves, fittings and pipework can often be repaired. However, if the storage tank itself has rusted or split, replacement is usually required.

- Water heater leaking from the bottom »
- Water heater leaking from the top »
Do you replace hot water tanks on the same day?
Yes. We carry a wide range of hot water systems in our service vehicles and can complete many replacements on the same day, subject to stock availability and installation requirements.
Which hot water system is best for my home?
The best system depends on your household size, hot water usage, available utilities, budget and long-term running costs. We’ll recommend the most suitable option based on your individual needs.
Can I replace my electric hot water system with a heat pump?
Yes. Heat pumps are an increasingly popular upgrade because they use significantly less electricity than conventional electric storage systems. Our team can advise whether your property is suitable.
Can I replace my electric hot water system with a solar hot water system?
Yes. If your property receives good sunlight and has suitable roof space, upgrading from an electric hot water system to solar can significantly reduce your electricity costs. We can assess your property, explain the available rebates and recommend the most suitable solar hot water system for your household.
Can I replace my electric hot water system with a gas hot water system?
Yes. If natural gas is available at your property, or you have LPG, switching from electric to gas can provide faster hot water recovery and lower running costs for many households. We’ll assess your existing services and recommend the best gas hot water system to suit your needs and budget.
Can I switch from gas hot water to electric, heat pump or solar?
Yes. Many homeowners choose to replace their gas hot water system with an electric, heat pump or solar hot water system when renovating, reducing energy costs or moving away from gas. Our team can discuss the advantages of each option and determine which system is best suited to your property.
Can I switch from solar hot water to a heat pump?
Yes. Heat pumps have become a popular alternative to solar hot water systems because they don’t rely on roof-mounted solar collectors and can be installed in a wider range of properties. They are highly energy efficient and can provide reliable hot water all year round. We can advise whether a heat pump is the right replacement for your existing solar hot water system.
