Water heater FAQs
How long does a hot water heater last?
The lifespan of a hot water heater depends on the type and maintenance. Traditional tank water heaters typically last 8–12 years, while tankless models can last 20+ years with proper care.
What size hot water heater do I need for my home?
The right size depends on household size and hot water usage. As a general guide:
- 1–2 people: 50L–100L
- 3–4 people: 125L–250L
- 5+ people: 250L–400L+
For tankless systems, consider flow rate (litres per minute) instead.
How does a hot water heater work?
A hot water heater warms water using either gas or electricity and stores it in a tank or heats it on demand in a tankless system. The heated water is then delivered to taps and showers when needed.
What’s the difference between a gas and electric water heater?
Gas: Heats water faster, works during power outages, and can be cheaper to run (especially with natural gas).
Electric: Easier to install, generally lower upfront cost, but may have higher running costs depending on electricity rates.
What are the best brands of hot water heaters?
Popular and reliable brands include Rheem, Rinnai, Bosch, Stiebel Eltron, Dux, and Thermann, to name but a few. The best option depends on your budget and requirements. Contact us for advice specific to your needs and budget.
Hot water heater troubleshooting and repairs
Why is my hot water heater not working?
Common reasons include power supply issues, a faulty thermostat, sediment buildup, or a broken heating element.
Why do I have no hot water?
Check if the power or gas supply is on. If you have an electric heater, inspect the circuit breaker. Gas systems may need the pilot light relit. If this doesn’t work, you may have a bigger problem. Get in touch for fast help.
Why is my hot water heater making noise (popping, banging, hissing)?
These sounds often indicate sediment buildup in the tank, which causes overheating and steam bubbles. Flushing the system may help. Not sure how to do this? Contact us for assistance.
Why is my hot water heater leaking?
Leaks can result from a corroded tank, loose connections, or a faulty pressure relief valve. If the tank itself is leaking, replacement is usually necessary.
Why is my water heater only producing lukewarm water?
Possible causes include a faulty thermostat, sediment buildup, or a failing heating element. Adjusting the thermostat may help.
How do I reset my hot water heater?
Locate the reset button (usually on the thermostat or circuit breaker panel) and press it. If the problem persists, consult a professional.
Why does my hot water smell like rotten eggs?
This is usually caused by bacteria reacting with the anode rod, creating hydrogen sulfide gas. Replacing the anode rod with an aluminum-zinc one can help. Our trucks are stocked with replacement anodes and thousands of spare parts. Call us for fast assessment and repair.
Why does my hot water heater keep turning off?
It may be due to a faulty thermostat, overheating, a gas supply issue, or electrical faults. If this happens frequently, professional inspection is recommended. Contact our team to book a service call-out.
Why is my hot water pressure low?
Potential causes include sediment buildup, clogged pipes, faulty pressure regulators, or partially closed valves. Need advice? Contact our friendly team for assistance.
Hot water system installation and maintenance.
How much does it cost to install a hot water heater?
Installation costs range from $500–$2,500 AUD, depending on the type, size, and location of the unit. Additional costs may apply for upgrades or relocation. For an obligation free quote, contact us directly. We can let you know over the phone.
How do I flush my hot water heater?
Turn off power/gas, connect a hose to the drain valve, open the valve, and let the water drain until clear. Repeat annually to prevent sediment buildup. Need assistance? Contact our friendly team for advice.
How often should I drain my water heater?
At least once a year to remove sediment and improve efficiency. Not sure how to do this? Book a service call-out and we’ll do it for you. Once onsite, we’ll check other vital parts are working efficiently and not close to breakdown.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
If the unit is over 10 years old, leaking, or requires frequent repairs, replacement may be more cost-effective. Your water heater may be under warranty. Contact us directly and we’ll be able to tell you whether your warranty is active.
Can I install a hot water heater myself?
Installation requires compliance with plumbing and electrical codes (like the team at Cheapa Hot Water). In Australia, a licensed professional is usually required. Water heaters are expensive appliances – don’t risk voiding your warranty by using unlicensed labour to install your new water heater.
