Quick Troubleshooting Tips for Electric Hot Water Systems
Ensure the circuit breaker in your switch box hasn't tripped. If it has, resetting it may resolve the issue. If it repeatedly trips, an electrician should inspect it.
Check the pressure relief valve. If functioning normally, it should release a small amount of water daily. If there's no release, topping up the tank might resolve the issue.
Signs Your Electric Hot Water System Needs Replacing or Servicing
- Age - Pretty much any system older than 10 years and especially over 15 years should really be replaced, especially if it hasn’t been maintained. Their performance will have decreased over time (increasing your bills) and newer systems are more energy efficient and cheaper to run.
- Discoloured Water - Rust and sediment can build up over time inside the tank (especially in poor water quality areas) and this is very difficult to fix. Sediment can be drained out but rust isn’t fixable. The cost of this repair work usually outweighs a replacement unit but some systems that have specific tanks can be replaced.
- Leaking - Water leaks come from many sources and are commonly a bad sign. Leaks can also cause damage to your home and its electrics so this should be checked out by one of Freecall’s qualified engineers ASAP.
- Varying Temperatures - Inconsistent water temperature is a sure sign that your electric hot water system is slowly dying. This can be due to one or a combination of heating element, thermostat, pressure and timer. If it’s not very old it can be repaired or may just need a simple service, but if it’s old, again, it might be time for a new system.
