An emergency water heater repair at an Inner West Airbnb, just in time for the new guests.
Hot water emergency? Call 0410 693 532 to speak directly with one of our experienced hot water specialists (not a call centre operator).
Late on a Friday afternoon, we received an urgent call from a homeowner in Drummoyne (Inner West) whose electric hot water system had suddenly stopped working. With no hot water and new tenants arriving that evening, she needed help fast.
For most households, a lack of hot water is an inconvenience. But in this case, it was critical. Reliable hot water was essential before the tenants moved in.
Fast help and emergency call-out to Inner West customers.
We arranged to be on site within the hour to assess the problem. After running diagnostic checks, our technician confirmed that the heating element had failed.
Fortunately, our service vehicles are stocked with thousands of spare parts, including replacement elements, thermostats and valves for all leading brands. We replaced the faulty element immediately, and the customer’s hot water was restored before the tenants arrived.
The homeowner was extremely relieved. The water heater was running perfectly again. The tenants could move in and enjoy hot showers.
Preventative servicing for peace of mind.
While on site, we also completed a full service on the customer’s hot water system, checking the valves, thermostat, electrical components and overall system performance.
Preventative maintenance like this helps extend the life of the unit and avoids unexpected breakdowns. This can be especially important for rental properties or Airbnbs with frequent guest turnovers.
Common emergency hot water repairs.
Every day, we help homeowners and landlords througout the Inner West and Sydney with urgent hot water issues. Below is a list of common problems:
- Hot water temperature fluctuations: May indicate a faulty thermostat or heating element. We carry replacement parts for all systems and can repair it immediately.
- Leaking water heater: Pooling water around the tank can cause property damage or electrical hazards. If the system can’t be repaired, we can replace it the same day.
- No hot water: Often caused by a failed element, thermostat or power issue. We’ll diagnose and fix the fault on the spot.
- Strange noises: Banging or hissing sounds may signal sediment build-up or pressure problems. We can service and clean your system to restore smooth operation.
- Gas leak or gas smell: If you smell gas, turn off the gas supply and call us immediately. We provide rapid-response gas leak repairs for all systems.
- Discoloured or rusty water: Often a sign of internal tank corrosion. We’ll inspect the system and recommend the best repair or replacement.
- Pressure build-up: If your pressure relief valve keeps leaking, call us immediately. Our team can often diagnose and resolve pressure problems over the phone.
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, contact us immediately for expert advice.
