Leaking Rheem hot water unit repair, North Shore Sydney

Fast hot water unit repairs. All Sydney suburbs.

When this customer at Wahroonga, on Sydney’s Upper North Shore, awoke to no hot water, they contacted our team for urgent assistance. Over the phone, our hot water specialist John, guided the customer through a simple process of trying to determine the cause of the problem.  When the customer went outside to assess the hot water system, they discovered a steady leak coming from their Rheem electric 315 litre hot water unit.

Due to the rain, the customer hadn’t noticed the hot water unit was leaking.

After a few weeks of regular rain, it’s understandable that the customer hadn’t noticed the leak earlier. The outside location of most gas, electric and solar hot water units mean that most people don’t realise their system 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.

This was a simple and cost-effective repair.

Once onsite, our hot water unit repair specialist Steve discovered that the pressure temperature relief valve (TPR valve) had failed and needed replacement.  Whilst onsite, Steve inspected and served the hot water unit. He found that the anode was showing signs of corrosion and was replaced.

This was a simple and cost-effective repair and the customer was be back enjoying trouble-free hot water in no time.

Cheapa Hot Water Sydney

Don’t waste money employing multiple trades.

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.

Don’t risk voiding your hot water heater 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 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?

Save money today by calling our Sydney hot water experts. Our trucks are on the road right now stocked with thousands of spare parts to repair and service your hot water heater quickly.
