What most plumbers won’t tell you about your hot water system:

  • Not every hot water issue means a full replacement

    Many systems stop working due to minor parts like valves, thermostats or sensors - not the entire unit.

  • Some “repairs” cost more in the long run

    Cheap patch jobs can cause internal corrosion, pressure issues, or void your warranty.

  • Replacing the unit too early can cost you thousands

    We’ve seen systems replaced that had 5+ years of life left. You deserve an honest diagnosis - not a sales pitch.

  • The brand of your unit matters more than you think

    Not all systems are built the same. Some brands break down more, others cost a fortune to service.

  • That pilot light that won’t stay on? It’s usually a simple fix

    A common gas issue and one that’s often misdiagnosed as a full-system failure.

  • A cold shower isn’t your only risk

    Hot water issues can be a sign of deeper plumbing faults - or even gas leaks. The sooner you act, the better.

The hot water is out - and I have work tomorrow!

You jump in the shower and… ice-cold water.

You check the unit. Nothing.

The pilot light’s out. Or the system’s completely dead.

And now you’re panicking because you’ve got work in an hour and no time for this.

You try calling around but get voicemail after voicemail.

Or worse, someone says “We can get to you next week.”

Meanwhile, you’re boiling kettles to wash your hair, hoping it magically resets overnight.

But deep down, you know it won’t.

And the longer it stays broken, the more stressful it gets.

You just want someone who’ll actually show up, know what they’re doing, and get it sorted.
