No one wants the stress—or the expense—of replacing a hot water system, especially if it fails on a weekend or right before Christmas when the house is full of guests. Unfortunately, across Perth, many hot water units are failing far earlier than they should.
Why Hot Water Systems in Perth Wear Out So Quickly
Most hot water systems in Perth only last 7–10 years, often due to a lack of routine maintenance. The good news? A little care goes a long way.
By following two simple maintenance steps, you can significantly extend the lifespan of your unit:
-
Have your hot water system professionally serviced every 3 years
This keeps internal components functioning efficiently and safely.
-
Lift the pressure relief valve every 6 months
This is a quick task you can do yourself to prevent pressure issues and prolong the system’s health.
We have clients whose systems are over 25 years old—well beyond the average lifespan—and the reason is simple: they’ve consistently followed the manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations.
When Was Your Hot Water Unit Last Serviced?
If it’s been more than three years since your last hot water service, now is the time to act. Regular maintenance not only saves you money but also helps you avoid emergency breakdowns at the worst possible times.
