Don’t waste time and money. Call the local hot water specialists!

You may not be aware but some hot water heater repairs and the installation of any new tank often require the services of both a licensed plumber AND an electrician. Thankfully, our hot water specialists are qualified to undertake both the plumbing and electrical work necessary to complete any repair or installation job.  This ensures your hot water system is installed quickly, on time and budget. Plumbers who are not hot water specialists may need to outsource the electrical work required to another tradesperson, thereby holding up the job and adding extra expense due to additional call-out fees charged by employing two tradespeople.

Parramatta water heater repairs, replacement and installations

Below are examples of recent jobs we have completed for customers in Parramatta.

Replace leaking electric water heater

This Parramatta customer contacted us after discovering their water heater was leaking. With the heavy rain in Sydney, they hadn’t noticed the extra water pooling around the system until they began running out of hot water.

Luckily, John was nearby and able to attend quickly. Although the leak wasn’t an emergency yet, leaks can worsen rapidly, so it’s always best to address them as soon as they’re noticed.

What causes a water heater tank to leak? 

Once onsite, John inspected the customer’s old Rheem 160L electric hot water system and determined that the likely cause of the leak was tank corrosion. Over time, minerals in the water can corrode the interior of the tank, causing cracks or holes where water can escape.

Early detection of corrosion is key to preventing leaks and prolonging the life of your hot water system. We recommend servicing your water heater every five years to catch and fix issues before they lead to breakdowns or costly replacements. A routine service usually takes just 45 minutes—a small investment for peace of mind and reliable hot water.

Why a leaking water heater tank can’t always be repaired.

Unfortunately, when a hot water tank starts leaking due to corrosion, repairs are usually not an economical option. Modern water heaters are not designed for the tank to be repaired or replaced, so a full system replacement is typically required.

In this case, John discussed replacement options with the customer, who opted for a new Rheem 160L electric hot water system (model: 491160). The previous Rheem unit had provided over 15 years of reliable service, and the new model could be installed in the same location, making the replacement process straightforward.

Benefits of the new Rheem 160L electric hot water system.

• Twin Elements for Faster Heating: Perfect for households needing an extra boost of hot water. The second element ensures a consistent supply even during high-demand periods, like running a washing machine while someone showers.
• Energy Efficiency: The new system is designed to reduce energy consumption, helping the customer save on utility bills while lowering their carbon footprint.
• Durability: The tank features vitreous enamel lining and a heavy-duty anode for superior corrosion protection, ensuring a longer lifespan.
• Peace of Mind: A 12-year cylinder warranty* provides extra assurance (*warranty conditions apply).

The hot water system installation process

John drained and disconnected the old Rheem water heater before installing the new one in the same location. He ensured the system was properly connected, tested for functionality, and cleaned the site thoroughly. The old tank was removed for recycling. Within a few hours, the customer was enjoying trouble-free hot water again.

An emergency hot water system repair

We recently helped a Parramatta customer with a dangerous and emergeny situation when their old gas hot water system caught fire. Although the customer had extinguished the flames before calling, they were understandably concerned about the risk of it reigniting. Recognising the urgency, our local hot water plumber arrived within the hour to assess and resolve the issue.

The importance of regular hot water system maintenance.

While fires caused by hot water systems are rare, this incident underscores the critical role of regular maintenance. Servicing your water heater at least every five years can detect and fix potential issues before they lead to catastrophic failures.

A professional service takes only 30 to 45 minutes and offers peace of mind by prolonging the lifespan of your system. During a service, worn or failing components can be replaced, reducing the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns.

Important: To protect your warranty, always have your hot water system repaired or serviced by a licensed and experienced technician, like the team at Cheapa Hot Water.

Replacing the damaged water heater. 

In this case, the fire had rendered the old gas water heater irreparable, so a replacement was necessary.

First, we carefully dismantled and safely disconnected the damaged unit from the gas supply. It was then removed and recycled responsibly. The customer was happy with the capacity of their previous system, so we discussed replacement options and recommended the Rheem Stellar 330 gas hot water heater (model: 850330).

Features of the Rheem Stellar 300

The Rheem Stellar 330 is a premium gas hot water system with several key benefits:

• Energy efficient: With a 5-star energy rating, it’s designed to reduce gas consumption and lower utility bills.
• High capacity: It offers a 200-litre per hour recovery rate and a 330-litre first-hour capacity, ensuring sufficient hot water for long showers and simultaneous use across multiple taps.
• Advanced safety features: The system is equipped with state-of-the-art safety technology for peace of mind.

Within a few hours, the customer’s new system was installed, providing reliable, energy-efficient hot water.
