Common Hot Water Problems in St Albans Properties
Many homes in St Albans still rely on gas storage units installed 15-20 years ago, well past their expected lifespan. Unlike areas with hard water, this suburb benefits from Melbourne’s soft water supply, meaning hot water system failures typically result from age or component rust, not mineral buildup.
We can diagnose these specific issues quickly, saving you time and money.
Emergency Breakdowns That Can’t Wait
When your hot water system fails completely, often right before the kids’ bath time or during your morning shower, you’ll want immediate help. Common emergency issues we can resolve include:
- Complete system failures with no hot water production at all
- Leaking tanks flooding your laundry or garage
- Strange noises indicating imminent system failure
- Pilot light issues preventing water heating
- Thermocouple failures in older gas units
Rising Energy Bills from Inefficient Systems
If a massive water or gas bill has hit you, your old water heater might be the culprit. The post-war homes common in St Albans often still have original or decades-old hot water systems that consume far more energy than modern units. Signs your system costs you money include:
- Constantly running systems that struggle to maintain temperature
- Visible rust or corrosion on the tank
- Water that takes forever to heat up
- Inconsistent water temperatures throughout the day
