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. Issues Related to A Hot Water System
Types of Hot Water Systems
Electric Hot Water 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
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.
Repairing and Replacing of Hot Water System
Amateur set up or repair of hot water systems leads to problems and long-term costs. When a problem occurs, you need to call Blue Mountains Plumbing experts to rectify the issues properly who will address overheating, water leaking, noise from the tank, etc. They can either replace an old heater with a new one or fix the problem by replacing a pressure-relief valve, heating elements or thermostat and they can also insulate hot water pipes and lower temperature to 120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius). You can upgrade the unit or choose to go tankless.
