Hot Water System Repair

In colder regions, hot water systems are particularly important. Replacing your old system with a new one will result in consuming less energy, being more efficient and being more environmentally friendly.

There are many hot water systems available in the market such as electric, gas, solar and instantaneous hot water systems and storage tank solutions etc. Our plumbers from Blue Mountains Plumbing are the ones who are experts in finding faults in hot water systems. They can easily install, repair and service these systems. A hot water system possesses a central boiler. Water is heated at 140 to 180 °F (60–83 °C). Through pipes, hot water is circulated to different rooms. This can be accomplished through gravity and pressure systems. Sometimes, pumps are used for forced circulation either through a one or two-pipe system.

Types of Hot Water Systems

Electric Hot Water System

Electric hot water systems can be installed both indoors and outside, but they are often costly to run. There are multiple sizes available. They can produce hot water at ease. Their installation cost is less. Upper and lower heating elements will heat the water in this system.

Gas Hot Water System

The initial cost of a gas hot water system is more, but running cost are less than for an electric hot water system. The majority of them are installed outdoors because of the venting, but some are also fixed indoors with the help of a ‘flue’. They come in natural gas and LPG versions where natural gas or LPG are acting as the fuel source of these systems. They are mostly installed in larger houses because the water consumption is higher in those. If the system is not producing heat, there could be gas valve issues, the gas pressure might be low or the pilot light might have gone out and may it may need to be fixed or replaced.

Instantaneous Hot Water

Instant hot water systems are the ones that have a continuous flow of water with a regulated flow rate. They are very efficient and can be cheaper to run than the other hot water systems. This is due to their instantaneous nature. They can pump out as much water as needed at any time. They are available in both gas and electric models. There is little heat loss and they require less space than a storage tank. They only heat water when it is required. They can be repaired if a problem arises.

Storage Tank System

This system stores a certain amount of water and because it is heated, it can be used throughout the whole day. It stores water before the usage which can be beneficial if there are multiple members in a household. The system comes with a warranty of 5 to 10 years and needs servicing every couple of years. It is available in LPG, gas and electric models. It is bigger in size and can be more expensive. It can be repaired by the Blue Mountains plumbing expert technicians.
