FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
How long should a hot water system last?
Most hot water systems last between 8 and 15 years, depending on the type of unit, water quality and how well it has been maintained. Storage tank systems often have a shorter lifespan than some continuous flow models. Regular servicing can extend performance, but age, corrosion and internal wear eventually reduce efficiency. If the unit is nearing the end of its expected lifespan and showing signs of decline, replacement may be more practical than ongoing repairs.
Why is my hot water system leaking from the base?
A leak from the base of a hot water system often indicates internal tank corrosion or failure. Over time, sediment build-up and natural wear can weaken the tank lining, leading to cracks or splits. In some cases, the leak may be coming from a valve or fitting above the unit and running down, so proper inspection is important. If the tank itself has failed, replacement is usually required, as internal tank damage cannot typically be repaired.
Should I repair or replace my hot water system?
The decision to repair or replace a hot water system depends on its age, condition and the cost of the required repair. Minor component failures, such as valves or thermostats, can often be repaired economically. However, if the unit is older, inefficient or experiencing repeated issues, replacement may offer better long-term value. A professional assessment helps determine whether a repair will restore reliable performance or if upgrading to a new system is the smarter option.
