How Long Do Hot Water Systems Last?

Hot water systems are expected to last anywhere between 10-15 years. Your location, usage and the type of hot water system will always determine exactly how long it will survive.

Some parts within the system will last longer than others, which is why a regular yearly service is often the best to pick up any faults.

KEEP IT REGULAR!

A regular service will help you save money on large costs down the track, though, and can keep your water steaming hot!

While on site, your plumber will inspect parts such as the following:
  • Tempering valve
  • Pressure relief valve
  • Sacrificial anode
  • Thermostat
  • Thermocouple

When one of our expert plumbers services (checks out) your hot water they can accurately identify any parts that need repairing or replaced. They may also recommend a full (new) system replacement if the age and other factors of your system mean its beyond repair.
