Electric hot water components we inspect and repair

An electric hot water system is made up of many different components that work together to provide you with hot water. A fault with any of these components can cause a loss of hot water, leaks, slow reheating or annoying inconsistent temperatures.

From our experience with electric hot water systems, we inspect:

  • Heating elements
  • Thermostats and temperature controls
  • Electrical isolators and connections
  • Hot water storage tanks
  • Tempering valves
  • Pressure and temperature relief valves
  • Expansion control valves
  • Isolation valves
  • Anodes
  • Water inlets and outlets
  • Pipework and system connections

Once we find the cause of the problem, we can determine whether the issue can be repaired or whether a part needs to be replaced. If the fault involves electrical components or wiring, a suitably licensed electrical worker may be required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who repairs an electric hot water system, a plumber or an electrician?

It really depends on the cause of the problem. A licensed plumber can repair leaking tanks, valves, pipework and other plumbing components. Faults involving heating elements, thermostats, electrical connections or wiring should be handled by a tradie with an electrical licence.

Why is my electric hot water system not heating the water?

The most common causes we see include a faulty heating element, damaged thermostat, tripped circuit breaker, electrical supply problem or an issue with an off-peak timer.

Why is my electric hot water system only producing lukewarm water?

Lukewarm water could be caused by a failing heating element, incorrect thermostat operation, a faulty tempering valve or the system running out of stored hot water. The right repair will depend on whether the problem is electrical, plumbing-related or caused by increased household demand.

Why does my electric hot water system keep tripping the circuit breaker?

A tripping circuit breaker can indicate a faulty heating element, damaged wiring, moisture reaching an electrical component or another electrical fault. Leave the circuit switched off and do not repeatedly reset it. You should arrange an inspection by a suitably licensed electrical worker if this keeps happening.

Can a leaking electric hot water system be repaired?

Yes, many electric hot water system leaks can be repaired when they come from a valve, fitting, pipe or connection. However, a tank that is leaking due to corrosion or internal damage will usually need to be replaced.

How long does an electric hot water system take to heat up?

An electric storage hot water system can take a few hours to heat a full tank from cold. The exact time depends on the tank capacity, heating element and starting water temperature. Off-peak systems may only heat during scheduled controlled-load periods.
