There’s nothing worse than no hot water, or other issues with your hot water system. So you might also have a leak or a tripping circuit breaker, all of which makes it that much more irritating when all you want is to wash the dishes.

In this case, it makes sense to weigh up whether to repair or replace your current electric hot water systems. Brisbane residents can use this guide to work out what’s the best option for their situation, as well as get in touch with a specialist who can have a look at the problem in person.

Whether your old system is causing you trouble, or you want new electric hot water systems installed altogether, here are some of the services King Solarman can help you with.

If you’re building a new property or you simply want to install a whole new electric hot water system to replace a broken or older one, this is a good place to start.

You don’t want just anyone to install your system, as a poorly installed hot water system might be just as much of a problem as no hot water system at all. An electric hot water system is more than just plumbing, it also involves electrical components that need to be installed correctly to make sure your home is safe.

When you give us a call, we’ll ask you a few questions about what system you want and where it’ll go. If it’s replacing an older system, the simplest option is usually to put it in the same place as before, because a lot of the piping and wiring is already in place.

Electric hot water installation involves:

• Finding the right location
• Tank sizing
• Installing valves
• Laying, installing, and connecting pipes
• Electrical connection and disconnection
• Ensuring that the electric hot water system is compliant with local building regulations

As well as electric hot water system installation, Brisbane residents can consider other options for hot water, including solar hot water systems that use the power of the sun to heat water in your tank. This is a great option if you’re interested in a more environmentally friendly home. So make sure to consider your options to find the right system for your home.

Installing a new electric hot water system isn’t the only option. Often, a repair job can make it work like brand new again, and it’s just a phone call away. When do you know that your system needs repairing?

Ideally, you should get your electric hot water system checked out on a regular basis. Regular maintenance prevents it from breaking down or developing problems, so you don’t need to worry about malfunctions. It can even work out as cheaper because a well-maintained system will last longer.

But sometimes you just need someone to come in for electric hot water repairs. Get in touch if you notice the following issues:

• No hot water at all
• Not enough hot water
• Tripping power when using hot water
• Faulty elements
• Thermostat failures
• Leaks
• Relief Valve issues
• Corrosion

All of these are signs that your system needs to be repaired. Thankfully, they’re also problems that we can repair. Even old hot water systems can be kept going with some careful repairs, and many of these issues are a quick and simple fix for a trained professional.

It’s generally not a good idea to try to repair your system yourself, because they involve electrical and plumbing work, so you could make things worse and more expensive. So get in touch with King Solarman for any hot water system repairs.

Some homeowners in Brisbane aren’t sure whether it’s best to repair or replace their system. After all, a lot of issues can be repaired with a relatively quick fix, and you’ll continue to get years of use out of your hot water system.

But sometimes, just because a problem can technically be fixed, it’s still best to replace the system entirely.

Repairs cost money and, if you find that your system keeps on leaking or breaking down, it might be time to invest in a newer one. Replacement might also be a better idea if you have consistently high running costs, poor tank capacity, or an older system, because it will be more economical in the long run to upgrade your system.

There are a lot of different options for electric hot water systems. Brisbane residents should consider what might be best for their home, as it’s not a case of “one system fits all”.

For example, you should choose what type of hot water system you prefer. As well as electric and gas options, you can also invest in a solar or heat pump hot water system.

When looking through these options, consider factors like:

• System size, as a bigger home will require a larger system
• Running costs per month
• Off-peak tariffs
• Sustainability

If you’re replacing a hot water system, you should look back on how much it has cost historically, as well as how much hot water your household uses. While you don’t necessarily want a massive tank that costs a lot to operate, you also don’t want to constantly run out of hot water because your system isn’t robust enough.

Consider winter uses as well as summer uses, so go back at least six months or a year. We can also offer advice based on our experience with other customers and the size of your home.
