No hot water can bring a household to a standstill. You do not need to diagnose the system before you call, but a few simple details can make the first conversation more useful.
WHAT HAS CHANGED?
Is there no hot water at all, is it intermittent, or has the temperature gradually reduced? Note whether there is visible water, pooling, corrosion, unusual sounds or an error display. If you know the system type, brand or approximate age, that can also help.
KEEP THE IMMEDIATE RESPONSE SIMPLE
Avoid removing panels or attempting repairs yourself. If you are concerned about gas, electricity or water near electrical equipment, keep clear of the area and use the appropriate emergency service advice. Otherwise, minimise use of the affected system until it can be assessed.
REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. The sensible option depends on the actual fault, the condition and configuration of the current system, repair availability, household demand and the practical installation requirements. An on-site assessment gives you a proper basis for the decision.
WHAT TO INCLUDE WHEN YOU GET IN TOUCH
Tell us your suburb, what the system is doing, when it started and any visible signs you have noticed. Photos of an accessible label, error display or leak can also be useful if it is safe to take them.
