FAQs about hot water system servicing
How often should a hot water system be serviced?
Each household or business would have a different frequency of use of the hot water system. The more often you use it, the more often it needs servicing. In an ideal world where nothing breaks down, the maintenance rules apply:
Annual service: continuous or instantaneous flow.
Every five years: storage tanks (electric/gas); heat pumps; and solar.
Depending on how often and how hard your system works, you’ll need to keep an eye on the sacrificial anode and TPR valves. Your hot water system’s lifetime is heavily reliant on a mechanism known as the sacrificial node. A critical component of your system, the anode is a zinc-coated metal rod made of aluminium or magnesium.
The safest frequency for any hot water system is to have its servicing scheduled annually.
How much does hot water system servicing cost?
There is no standard price for hot water system servicing. The licensed plumber will have to investigate and consider various factors to reach a fair market price estimate. We would need to consider the type and brand of the hot water systems, the type and location of the property, and any other plumbing issues we might discover during the servicing. It would be best to contact the hot water specialists at Rowson’s Plumbing Services for expert advice and better estimates.
Should I DIY my hot water system Servicing?
That’s a no-no! Unless you are also a fully equipped and licensed plumber, handling any plumbing job is not a brilliant idea. Before beginning a plumbing project, there are a few things to consider. Do you have all of the necessary tools and equipment? Are you confident that you understand what you’re doing? Are you willing to pay more for hot water repairs when you realize you made a mistake? A qualified plumber may certify that your plumbing meets plumbing code requirements, and hot water plumbers provide a warranty. Also, keep in mind that your hot water unit’s warranty requires hot water service and repairs to be performed by a certified technician or licensed plumber.
Why hire a professional?
There are numerous reasons why a skilled plumber is required to service your hot water system. First, it is unlawful in most towns to undertake DIY plumbing, and you will be unable to obtain a permit to resell your home until you have a plumber repair your DIY plumbing. The second factor is the quality of the services that are provided after the servicing. You can be confident that any faults or potential difficulties with your hot water system will be handled appropriately and swiftly. Finally, there’s safety. If not managed properly, the hot water system, whether electric or gas, can cause serious injury, damage, and death. Professionals will inspect your gas water heater to ensure there are no leaks from the gas supply to the water heater unit. We will ensure that water does not get into contact with the electrical components and electric heating element of an electric water heater, which could result in shorts and electrocutions.
