Call us about repair, replacing or installing your hot water cylinder

Hot water cylinders or instantaneous continuous flow water heaters can fail anywhere between 5 and 75 years of age. If your hot water system is more than 15 years old, it could fail within the next 5 years. The life-span of a particular applicance depends on a number of factors such as:

  • How much it gets used from day to day.
  • How long individual components of the appliance last, for example whether moving parts wear out, or a circuit-board or other metallic part corrodes.
  • The physical environment where the appliance is installed, for example whether it’s cold and damp or hot and dry.

Don’t wait for disaster

Nobody feels excited about planning for the cost and disruption of replacing a hot water system. On the other hand, an unexpected Christmas Day call-out to replace your old cylinder could cost you $500-$1000 just to get a plumber to look. Add in extras like cleaning and drying your carpet, an electrician, and whatever it might take to repair any plaster and paint damage from a flood, and you can immediately see why prevention is better than cure.

It’s impossible to predict when a system might fail, but you should pay attention if you notice it behaving differently from normal. Don’t wait for it to break down completely!
