Hot Water Service and Repairs
Taking a cool shower provides cooling relief in 40 degree summer temperatures, but an unexpected hit of ice cold water isn’t so nice. While it could be as simple as a tank that needs refilling or a tripped circuit breaker, these issues are often more serious and therefore require professional repairs.
Hot water is essential to your daily routine, which is why here at Service Experts, we offer urgent and affordable same-day repairs.
We’ve been Melbourne’s most trusted water treatment specialists since 2002, and we’re on hand to get your hot water up and running again – whether the thermostat needs service or you require a whole new heat pump, we’ve got all hot water repairs and installations covered.
Common Hot Water Repair Issues
With average temperatures of 15 degrees, our winters in Melbourne are relatively forgiving compared to those in the northern hemisphere – but we still need reliable access to hot water. Regular plumbing maintenance is therefore essential for getting you not only through the colder months, but also allowing your family to enjoy hot water all year round.
Even if your plumbing systems appear to be running smoothly overall, ignoring small problems such as leaky water heaters or faulty heating coils could cause a complete system failure, leaving you with no hot water at all.
While there are plenty of things that could go wrong with your system, some of the most common diagnoses that we make include:
No Hot Water
Having no hot water is the clearest sign of a complete system failure and usually indicates that a heating element isn’t working properly. We can restore water flow by repairing faulty thermostats, heating coils, thermal switches, or taking a look at your energy supply.
Limited Hot Water Flow
Running out of hot water is most often due to a tank that’s not large enough to meet your home’s demands. Choosing a bigger model or a tankless water system are two options our technicians may recommend.
Frequent Leaking
Anything from a faulty temperature relief valve or a blocked drain could be causing leaks in your hot water tank. Valves relieve the pressure that builds up in the system and undergoes a lot of stress, so we may replace them to stop these leaks. Dismantling your tank to unclog the drains is another option we’ll consider.
Noisy Water Tank
Mineral and sediment build-up are two key reasons why you may be noticing high-pitched popping or rumbling sounds coming from your tank. Call us straight away if you hear a bubbling noise, as this usually indicates that the system is overheating or reaching dangerously high pressure levels.

Types of Hot Water Systems We Service
Are you worried about that strange creaking noise or the constantly changing water pressure? Give yourself peace of mind and ensure that your systems are operating effectively with our comprehensive hot water health check.
While electric systems tend to be the most popular in residences throughout Melbourne, mainly because they warm up water quickly with minimal heat loss, heat pumps are also growing in popularity for encouraging huge savings in electricity usage. However, regardless of the system type, we’ll examine every component to diagnose any potential issues before they require expensive repairs, from hot water cylinders to TPR valves.
We’ve served over 10,000 customers in our 20+ years of service, so there’s really no issue or heater type that we haven’t come across – our specialists carry valves, thermostats, heating elements, thermocouples, and other components for all systems!
If the system is more than 15 years old or beyond repair, we may recommend a complete replacement, which is often the more cost-effective option. Either way, we can service all major brands, including Bosch, Aquamax, Therman, and Rinnai, so contact us to book your system checkup today.

Hot Water Service & Repairs FAQs
How much does a hot water repair cost?
Hot water systems vary in range to repair or replace, but this varies depending on the type and size of the issue. Replacing the entire system does depend on which components need replacing, disposal prices, and the cost of the new unit chosen.
Is it worth repairing my hot water heater?
We’d recommend installing an entirely new hot water heater if the repair costs are 50% of the replacement price. A replacement may also be worthwhile if your system is near the end of its lifespan or frequently breaks down.
Why is my water not getting hot?
- Pilot light problems
- Gas or water tank leaks
- Faulty heating elements
- Undersized tanks
- Gas valve failures
- Extreme weather conditions
- Thermostat malfunctions
- Electric heater breakdown
How do I get my hot water working again?
Firstly, ensure that the thermostat is set to around 50 degrees and then check whether the circuit breaker has tripped. You should also try relighting the pilot light and inspect the water heater tank for any leaks. If you notice moisture, foul smells, strange tastes, or any other issues with your water, call a plumbing professional for safe and effective repairs.
What is the average lifespan of a hot water heater?
Residential hot water systems have a life expectancy of around 8 to 15 years.. However, this depends on how often you get maintenance and the system type; for instance, gas water heaters tend to last for 8 to 12 years, while electric systems can run for up to 15 years.
