  1. WHEN IS IT TIME TO REPLACE YOUR HOT WATER SYSTEM IN PERTH?

  2. If your hot water system is acting up, you’re not alone. These systems work hard every day, and over time they wear out. But how do you know when it’s time for a full replacement versus a simple repair? In this guide, Perth Local Plumbing & Gas helps you spot the signs early  — so you’re not left with a cold shower or a surprise leak. Read More. . .

  3. HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL HOT WATER SYSTEM LAST? Most hot water systems last between 8 to 12 years, depending on the type and how well they’ve been maintained. Gas systems may have a slightly shorter lifespan than electric or solar units, but regular servicing helps extend the life of any unit If your unit is over 10 years old, start planning for a replacement — even if it’s still working. Tip:

  4. WHAT ARE THE WARNING SIGNS YOUR HOT WATER SYSTEM IS FAILING? Here are the common red flags: INCONSISTENT WATER TEMPERATURE Hot one minute, cold the next? It’s often the first sign of trouble. RUMBLING OR BANGING NOISES Sediment build-up inside the tank can lead to serious damage. RUSTY OR DISCOLOURED WATER  Could indicate tank corrosion. LEAKS AROUND THE TANK  Even small drips should not be ignored.

  5. WHAT TYPE OF SYSTEM SHOULD YOU CHOOSE? There are several hot water systems available, each with its own pros, cons, and suitability for different types of households. Here’s a simple breakdown to help you decide what might be best for your Perth property: System Type Best For Pros Cons Needs gas fitting Gas storage Medium to large homes Fast recovery, reliable Electric storage Small households Lower upfront cost Higher energy bills Limited flow for multiple taps Continuous flow Any size home Efficient, compact Eco-conscious homes in Perth Solar + gas booster Low running cost High installation cost

  6. SHOULD YOU REPAIR OR REPLACE YOUR SYSTEM? REPAIR MAY BE ENOUGH IF: The system is less than 8 years old. The issue is minor (e.g. thermostat or valve). There’s no rust or significant leaking. REPLACEMENT IS THE SMARTER CHOICE IF: Your unit is nearing its lifespan. Repairs are frequent and expensive. You want a more efficient or environmentally friendly system.
