Few things interfere with your day as much as a broken hot water system. From cold showers to messy leaks, it’s a household problem that requires immediate attention. Hot water is something we take for granted until we no longer have it. The good news? Many hot water system issues can be resolved more quickly than you might think, especially when you know who to call.
In this blog, we’ll break down how long common repairs typically take, the factors that impact repair times, and when a full replacement might be the best solution.
The time it takes to repair your hot water system depends on a few factors, including the type of system (electric, gas, solar or heat pump) and how severe the problem is. A full system failure is going to take longer to deal with than a minor leak.
The next thing to consider is the age of your system. If it’s an older appliance, it may be harder to source parts for. Where it’s located and how easy it is to access will also affect how long it can take to repair. For example, it might be harder to work on if it’s located in a confined space like a roof cavity.
Here’s a list of some of the most common hot water repairs and how long you can expect them to take.
While it’s often worth fixing a hot water system, in some cases, a replacement system is the better option. If it’s nearly the end of its lifespan or constantly experiencing problems, you’re better off investing in a new system than constantly paying for costly and inconvenient repairs. Similarly, if your system is old and inefficient, you’re probably better off getting a new hot water system that costs less to run. The good news is that often a replacement hot water system can be installed quickly, within a day or so.
