Why Service Your Hot Water System?
Most hot water systems look fine from the outside. Inside, sediment and corrosion can build up for years without you knowing.
Regular servicing helps prevent premature failure, improves efficiency and reduces safety risks. If your system is around five years old or older and has never been serviced, now is the right time.
We provide professional hot water servicing for electric and gas storage systems across Perth.
Why Hot Water Systems Need Servicing
Over time, storage hot water systems naturally accumulate:
- Mineral sediment from mains water
- Scale build-up on heating elements
- Internal corrosion
- Deterioration of the sacrificial anode
By year five to seven, this build-up can be substantial.
Without maintenance, sediment settles at the base of the tank, insulating the heating element and forcing the system to work harder. This increases running costs and accelerates wear on internal components.
Servicing allows us to flush sediment, inspect internal parts and identify early signs of failure before they turn into leaks or full system replacement.
Anode Replacement – The Key to Tank Protection
Every storage hot water system contains a sacrificial anode rod.
The anode is designed to corrode instead of the steel tank. It protects the internal lining from rust and significantly extends the life of the unit.
However, anodes do not last forever.
By the five to seven year mark, many anodes are heavily depleted. Once the anode is consumed, the tank itself begins to corrode much more rapidly.
During servicing, we:
- Inspect the condition of the anode
- Measure deterioration levels
- Replace the anode if required
Replacing an anode at the right time can add years to the life of your hot water system and delay costly replacement.
What’s Included in Our Hot Water Service
Our hot water servicing includes a full system inspection and maintenance check.
We typically:
- Flush sediment from the tank
- Inspect and replace the anode if required
- Test temperature and pressure relief valves
- Check heating elements and thermostats
- Inspect gas components on gas systems
- Test Relief Valve - replacement if required
- Check electrical connections on electric systems
- Assess for leaks or corrosion
- Review overall system condition and lifespan
If any issues are identified, we explain your options clearly before proceeding.
Signs Your Hot Water System May Need Servicing
If you notice any of the following, it is worth booking an inspection:
- Discoloured or rusty hot water
- Rumbling or popping sounds from the tank
- Reduced hot water capacity
- Slow recovery time
- Water pooling around the unit
- System is 5+ years old and never serviced
Even if your system appears to be working normally, internal deterioration may already be occurring.
Relief Valve Testing & Replacement
Every storage hot water system is fitted with a temperature and pressure relief valve, often referred to as a TPR valve.
This valve is a critical safety device. Its role is to release excess pressure or temperature from the tank to prevent dangerous over-pressurisation.
As part of our hot water servicing, we:
- Test the temperature and pressure relief valve
- Inspect discharge pipework
- Check for signs of corrosion or blockage
- Replace the valve if it does not pass inspection
If replacement is required, we explain the issue clearly before proceeding.X
