RCM Hot Water

Hot Water Guides

How hot water systems work, what tends to go wrong with them, and what is safe to check yourself before you call a plumber.

Need it fixed rather than explained?

Call 0415 611 356 or go straight to hot water repairs or emergency hot water.

How these guides are written

Each guide takes one question we are asked on the job and answers it properly: how the system works, what the symptom usually means, and where the job stops being something to check and becomes licensed work.

Every guide lists its sources, and none of them asks you to open up the gas, electrical or pressurised side of a system. If a guide points to a fault, the next step is a plumber.

Still not sure what your system is doing?

Tell us the symptom and the model on the data plate, and we will tell you what we think is going on.
