Do Hot Water Systems Need Maintenance?
Hot water systems are one of those things that we use day in, day out, yet we don't think to show them a little TLC until the day we wake up and there is no hot water, or they go BANG!
Your hot water system services the whole house, from the bath & shower to all the taps in your home or workplace, as well as appliances that require the use of hot water. So, when you think about it, hot water systems may just be the hardest working appliance we have.
Just like the car that we service annually to make sure we can get from A to B without issues, hot water systems need to be serviced around every 2 years (depending on the types of hot water systems you have). A hot water specialist is the only person that should be carrying out an existing hot water system service or hot water system repairs.
If you have noticed any issues with water temperature, leaking hot water systems, hot water taps not heating to their usual temperature, or have no hot water at all, then it's best that you give us a call and we can send one of our hot water specialists to investigate the issue for you. Whether you have an electric hot water heater, a solar hot water system, a gas hot water system, or have heat pump hot water, our professional plumber can identify what needs fixing and can have your hot water up and running in no time.

Sydney's Hot Water Systems and Water Heater Repair Sydney
Help Choosing the Best Hot Water System Replacement for You
Choosing which Hot Water System is best for your house can seem a daunting process as there are so many hot water system types on the market. The type you have might also depend on how much hot water you need on a day to day basis. Chiswick Plumbing is able to assess your property and household needs to make recommendations on the best hot water system for you and provide detailed quotes.
Below is a sample of the various gas, electric and solar hot water systems available in Australia...
Gas Hot Water Systems
If you have a connection, Natural gas is a good option. It can be cheaper than electricity; gas rates don’t vary through the day and gas hot water systems can heat water as needed. A four-person household may require a 135–170L tank. You also have the option of an instantaneous system.
Due to venting requirements, Gas systems are usually installed outdoors, however, they can be installed indoors with a flue. Gas has an energy efficiency star rating. Some have a pilot light, which uses a small amount of gas.
Electric ignition is more economical, but in a blackout you can lose your hot water supply.
Liquid petroleum gas (LPG) bottles are an alternative to natural gas – however, this will increase your running costs.
5 Star Gas Storage
Perfect for anyone looking to convert from an old electric water heater, 5 star gas storage water heaters are better for the environment and cost less to run.
Important: Depending on the tank material, 5 star gas storage systems require routine sacrificial anode replacement to prevent corrosion and prolong the lifespan of the water heater.

Continuous Flow
Hot Water Systems
Instantaneous/Continuous Flow
A tankless system that delivers continuous Hot Water. Entering cold water passes through a heat exchanger (usually located outside) to instantly deliver hot water to your various taps and fixtures.
Continuous or AKA Instantaneous Hot Water Systems, heat only as much water as you need, when you need it. Depending on the distance between your tap and the Hot Water System, it may take a few seconds before hot water begins to flow. Most models use gas, but electric models are available.
The size you need (flow rate in litres per minute) depends more on the number of hot water outlets the heater has to serve, than on the number of people in the household. As a general rule, for a two-bathroom house you need a flow rate of about 22–24 L/min. Talk to your Chiswick Plumbing to find the right capacity for your home.

Electric Storage Hot Water Systems
An electrically heated storage tank system is usually relatively cheap to buy and install, but is usually the most expensive to run, especially if it’s on the continuous (full day) rate.
Systems that run on off-peak electricity are much cheaper to run, but need a larger tank as the water heated overnight has to last you all day. And off-peak electricity isn’t available to all homes. A four-person household typically needs a 125–160L tank for a continuous system or 250–315L for off-peak. Can be installed indoors or outdoors.

Ground/Roof Mounted Solar Hot Water Systems
Solar Water Systems or Solar Domestic Hot Water Systems can be a cost-effective way to generate hot water for your home, using a FREE fuel – our sunshine!
Solar Water Heating Systems use Solar Panels (or Collectors), which are typically mounted on the north facing aspect of a roof, to capture the heat and light from the sun. Water is drawn into the Panels from a Storage Tank which is either located on the roof or at ground level. The heated water travels from the bottom of the Panel to the top, where it is then returned to the tank.
1
Dux Sunpro Range
The Dux Sunpro is a ground mounted, split solar system (tank on ground, solar collector panels on roof) and comes in Gas & Electric boosted models.
- Mains pressure hot water unlike continuous flow boosted systems

Split/Integrated Heat Pumps -
Pump Hot Water Systems

You can purchase stand-alone heat pump hot water systems as an integrated unit with a built-in water storage tank and back-up resistance heating elements. You can also retrofit heat pumps to work with an existing storage water heater.
