Common Hot Water Problems
Is Your Hot Water System Acting Up?
Nothing disrupts your morning routine quite like stepping into a cold shower. Hot water system failures can happen without warning, leaving you frustrated and searching for answers. Leaking hot water systems are among the most common issues we see in Paddington, often caused by corroded storage tanks, faulty pressure relief valves, or loose pipe connections. Ignoring a leak, even a small one, can result in significant water damage to your floors, walls, and belongings.
Another frequent complaint is inconsistent water temperature, which might point to a faulty thermostat, sediment buildup in the tank, or problems with the heating element. You might also notice your pilot light going out repeatedly on gas systems, or hear strange noises such as banging, hissing, or rumbling coming from the unit. These sounds often indicate sediment accumulation at the bottom of the tank, which forces your system to work harder and increases energy costs.
If your hot water runs out faster than it used to, your household demands may have outgrown your current system's capacity, or internal components may be deteriorating. Discoloured water with a rusty appearance suggests corrosion inside the tank, a sign that replacement may be necessary soon. Whatever the symptom, addressing these issues promptly prevents further damage, reduces the risk of complete system failure, and protects your Paddington home or business from unnecessary expense and inconvenience.

Common Questions Answered
Hot Water System FAQs
We know choosing and maintaining a hot water system can raise plenty of questions. That's why our team at Paddington Plumbing and Drains has compiled answers to the most common queries we hear from Paddington residents. If you don't find what you're looking for below, our experienced plumbers are always happy to provide personalised advice for your situation.
There are several types of hot water systems to consider, each with distinct advantages. Electric hot water systems are straightforward and cost-effective to install, though they can be more expensive to run over time. Gas hot water systems connected to natural gas provide continuous flow options and are generally more economical to operate. Solar hot water systems harness renewable energy, significantly reducing energy costs while benefiting the environment. Heat pump hot water heaters are among the most energy-efficient choices available, extracting warmth from the air to heat water. Our team assesses your household size, budget, available space, and energy priorities to recommend the system that best suits your needs.
Several signs indicate your system requires attention. If you notice water pooling around the base of your hot water tank, hear strange noises like banging or hissing, experience inconsistent water temperatures, or see rust-coloured water, these are clear indicators of underlying issues. A leaking hot water system should never be ignored, as it can lead to water damage and higher utility bills. Frequent cycling on and off, reduced hot water supply, or a unit that's approaching or exceeded its expected lifespan are also signs that repair or replacement may be necessary. Our experienced team can inspect your system and provide honest recommendations on whether a repair will suffice or if a new installation would be more cost-effective in the long run.
The installation process begins with an initial consultation where we discuss your household's hot water needs, budget, and any preferences for system type. We'll assess your property to determine the best location and ensure compliance with local regulations. Once you've approved our competitive quote, we schedule the installation at a time that suits you. Our licensed plumbers remove your old unit if necessary, prepare the site, and install the new hot water system with precision and care. We test everything thoroughly, explain how to operate and maintain your new system, and clean up completely before we leave. The entire process is designed to be as smooth and hassle-free as possible, with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Improving energy efficiency starts with regular maintenance, including flushing sediment from storage tanks and checking that all components are functioning correctly. Installing insulation around your hot water tank and pipes reduces heat loss, particularly important in older Paddington homes. Upgrading to a more efficient system, such as a heat pump or solar hot water system, can dramatically reduce energy costs. Adjusting your thermostat to a moderate temperature, fixing leaks promptly, and using water-saving fixtures throughout your home also contribute to overall efficiency. Our team offers hot water efficiency audits to identify specific opportunities for improvement in your property.
A malfunctioning system often announces itself through several telltale signs. Water that never reaches a comfortable temperature, or fluctuates wildly between hot and cold, suggests thermostat or heating element issues. Unusual sounds such as rumbling, popping, or hissing typically indicate sediment buildup or pressure problems. Visible leaks, even small ones, signal deteriorating components that need immediate attention to prevent further damage. Discoloured water, particularly if it appears rusty, points to corrosion inside the tank. If your hot water runs out much faster than it used to, the system may be struggling to keep up with demand. A pilot light that won't stay lit on gas systems requires professional inspection. Any of these symptoms warrant a call to our expert plumbers for a thorough diagnosis.
Absolutely. We understand that hot water emergencies can happen at any hour, which is why our emergency service is available around the clock, every day of the week. Whether your system fails late at night, on a weekend, or during a public holiday, our experienced team responds quickly to restore your hot water supply. We arrive prepared with the tools and parts needed for most common repairs, minimising the time you're without hot water. Our emergency plumbers provide the same quality workmanship and transparent pricing you'd expect during regular hours, because we believe reliable service shouldn't wait until morning.
