Having a water heater is one of the great joys in life. They provide hot water for showers, dishes, and laundry. You can’t imagine going without one. But, like all appliances, they eventually break down and need to be repaired.

Damaged hot water heaters can be detrimental to modern living. They can cause extensive water damage, lead to dangerous mould growth, and be a general nuisance. If you’re experiencing any of these problems, you need a professional to take a look at your water heater and make the necessary repairs.

At Hills Emergency Plumber, we have a team of qualified and experienced plumbers who can help you with all your hot water heater repair needs. We understand the importance of having a functioning water heater, so we’ll do everything we can to get it up and running again as quickly as possible.

Types of Water Heaters

There are several types of hot water heaters, including:

Solar Hot Water Heaters

Australia is one of the sunniest countries in the world, so it’s no surprise that solar hot water heaters are becoming increasingly popular. Solar hot water heaters work by using the sun’s energy to heat water, which is then stored in a tank. They’re environmentally friendly and can save you money on your energy bills.

Conventional Water Heater

A conventional water heater is the most common type of hot water heater. It consists of a tank that stores water and heats it with gas or electricity. The size of the tank will determine how much hot water you have available at any given time.

Tankless Water Heater

A tankless water heater doesn’t store hot water. It heats water on demand. That means you’ll never run out of hot water, but it can take a little longer to get hot water to your tap than with a conventional heater.

Heat Pump Water Heater

A heat pump water heater is similar to a conventional water heater, but it uses less energy. It works by taking heat from the air and using it to heat water. This makes it more efficient than a gas or electric water heater.

Condensing Water Heater

A condensing water heater is the most efficient type of hot water heater. It captures heat from exhaust gases and uses it to heat water. This makes it more expensive than other types of water heaters, but it will save you money on your energy bills in the long run.

Common Problems With Hot Water Heaters

There are several common problems that can occur with hot water heaters. These include:

Leaking

Hot water heaters can develop leaks over time. This can be due to a number of factors, including:

• Corrosion: Over time, the tank can corrode and develop holes. This is more common in older water heaters.
• Temperature: If the water heater is set too high, it can cause the tank to rupture.
• Pressure: High water pressure can cause the tank to burst.
• Sediment build-up: If there is sediment build-up in the tank, it can cause the tank to leak.

If you notice water leaking from your hot water heater, it’s important to have a professional take a look at it as soon as possible. A small leak can quickly turn into a big problem.

No Hot Water

If your water heater isn’t producing any hot water, there are a few possible reasons:

• The pilot light is out: If the pilot light goes out, the gas won’t be able to heat the water.
• The thermostat is set too low: If the thermostat is set too low, the water won’t get hot enough.
• The gas is turned off: If the gas is turned off, the water heater won’t be able to heat the water.
• There’s a problem with the electrical supply: If there’s a problem with the electrical supply, the water heater won’t be able to heat the water.

If your water heater isn’t producing any hot water, we will diagnose the problem and get your water heater up and running again in no time.

Not Enough Hot Water

If you’re not getting enough hot water, it could be because:

• There’s a broken dip tube: This is a plastic tube that goes down the center of your tank and delivers the cold water to the heating element. If it’s broken, cold water mixes with hot water, which can result in lukewarm showers.
• The thermostat is set too low: If your water heater doesn’t have an adjustable thermostat, you may need to replace it.
• The heating element is broken: This is the part of the water heater that actually heats the water. If it’s not working, you won’t have any hot water.
