Why is my hot water system not working?
There are several reasons a hot water system might stop working. Common issues include a faulty thermostat, a broken heating element (for electric systems), a malfunctioning pilot light or gas valve (for gas systems), or sediment buildup inside the tank.

In some cases, the system may be too old and struggling to meet demand due to wear and reduced efficiency. Leaks, strange noises, or discoloured water are also warning signs of internal damage or corrosion. If hot water is intermittent or completely unavailable, it’s best to have the system professionally inspected to prevent further damage or safety hazards.
How long should a hot water system last?
In Australia, the average lifespan of a hot water system is typically between 8 to 12 years, depending on the type, brand, and level of maintenance. Electric storage systems tend to last around 8–10 years, while gas continuous flow systems can last 10–15 years with regular servicing.

Factors like water quality, usage frequency, and local climate can also affect how long a system lasts. Regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank and replacing sacrificial anodes, can extend its service life and maintain efficiency over time.
Should I choose gas, electric, or solar hot water?
Each type of hot water system has its pros and cons:

Electric systems are cheaper upfront and easier to install but can be more expensive to run long-term.

Gas systems provide fast heating and are cost-effective in areas with gas access.

Solar hot water systems offer the highest energy savings and environmental benefits, especially in sunny regions, but come with higher installation costs.
