Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to install a new hot water system?
Most hot water system installations can be completed within a few hours, depending on the type and setup. Simple replacements of electric or gas units are usually finished the same day, while new solar systems or conversions between gas and electric can take a little longer. Your plumber will remove the old system, install and connect the new one, and ensure everything meets Australian safety standards. In most cases, you’ll have hot water back on the same day.
Can I replace my electric hot water system with solar?
Yes – switching from electric to solar hot water is a great way to lower your energy bills and environmental impact. A licensed plumber can assess your roof position, water usage and budget to recommend the right system, such as a Solahart setup with a gas or electric booster for cloudy days. While the initial cost is higher, solar systems offer long-term savings, reliable performance and consistent hot water for homes across the Illawarra’s sunny climate.
Why does my hot water run out so quickly?
Running out of hot water too soon could mean your system is undersized for your household or struggling with worn components. Sediment build-up, a faulty thermostat or heating element can also reduce efficiency. If your system is more than 10 years old, it may not be keeping up with modern water demands. A licensed plumber can inspect the system, flush the tank if needed and advise whether a repair or upgrade will fix the issue long-term.
