Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should a hot water system be serviced?

    Most systems benefit from servicing every one to two years to maintain efficiency and prevent unexpected breakdowns. Regular checks help identify worn components, sediment buildup or failing thermostats before they create larger problems. Shellharbour households with high water usage or older systems may benefit from more frequent inspections. Preventative maintenance extends the lifespan of the unit and improves performance, especially for electric and gas systems that work harder during colder weather. Servicing also helps ensure the system meets safety standards.

  • Why does my hot water smell like metal or sulfur?

    Metallic smells often come from rust inside the tank, while sulfur or rotten egg odours are usually caused by bacteria reacting with the tank’s anode rod. Homes in Shellharbour that use older tanks or have not serviced the system in years may notice this issue more often. Flushing the tank, replacing the anode rod or upgrading to a newer system can resolve the problem. Water quality and tank age both influence how quickly these odours develop. If the smell persists, a full inspection may be needed to rule out more serious internal corrosion.

  • How do I choose between gas, electric and solar hot water?

    Choosing the right hot water system depends on your household size, energy preferences, budget and available space. Gas units heat quickly and suit busy families, while electric systems offer simpler installation and lower upfront costs. Solar systems provide long-term energy savings for Shellharbour homes with good sun exposure. Other factors include recovery time, running costs and long-term reliability. Comparing each option helps determine which setup best supports your daily routines and long-term energy goals.
