Having a reliable hot water system is essential for every Canberra household. However, like any appliance, they can develop faults and require repairs from time to time. At Woden Valley Plumbing & Gasfitting, we are experts in hot water heater repairs and can get your system up and running again quickly and efficiently. We have extensive experience in repairing both electric and natural gas hot water systems.
Choosing the Right Hot Water System
Choosing the right hot water system for your household can be a daunting task, but it’s essential to consider several factors to ensure you make an informed decision. Here are some key considerations to keep in mind:
- Energy Efficiency: Look for a hot water system with a high energy efficiency rating. An efficient hot water system will help reduce your energy bills and minimize your environmental impact. Systems like solar hot water systems and heat pump water heaters are known for their energy efficiency.
- Cost: Consider both the upfront cost of the hot water system and the ongoing maintenance and repair costs. While some systems may be cheaper initially, they might incur higher running costs over time.
- Space Constraints: If you live in a small apartment or have limited space, consider a compact hot water system that can fit in a small area. Tankless systems or continuous flow systems are great options for space-saving.
- Hot Water Usage: Assess how much hot water your household uses daily. Larger families or homes with high hot water demand may require a system with a larger capacity or faster recovery times.
- Environmental Impact: Consider the environmental impact of your hot water system. Opt for systems that use renewable energy sources, such as solar water heaters, or those with a low carbon footprint, like heat pumps.
By taking these factors into account, you can choose a hot water system that meets your needs and supports your lifestyle.
Common Causes of Hot Water System Failures
Several components in Canberra hot water systems can develop faults and lead to the need for repairs. The most common causes we see include:
- Thermostat failure – The thermostat controls the temperature of the hot water. If it malfunctions, you may get water that is too hot or too cold.
- Element failure –Electric hot water systems have heating elements that can burn out over time. Gas systems have pilot lights that can go out.
- Leaking valves and fittings – Ageing valves and pipe fittings can begin to leak over time. This allows water to escape the system.
- Sediment build-up – Mineral deposits from the water can build up inside the hot water tank, reducing efficiency and affecting the ability of the pressure relief valve to function correctly.
- Rust and corrosion – Metal components like the tank, pipes and fittings can corrode over time, leading to leaks and blockages.
- Pressure issues – Incorrect water pressure can prevent the tank from filling properly or cause components to fail prematurely.
- Electrical faults – Problems with wiring, fuses or switches can prevent the system from heating the water properly.
The age and type of system also play a role. Older systems are more prone to breakdowns, while tankless systems have different components that can fail.
Signs Hot Water Systems Need Repairs
Some of the most common signs that your hot water unit needs professional repairs include:
- Reduced hot water flow – If you aren’t getting as much hot water as usual, it likely indicates an issue.
- Leaking tanks or pipes – Visible water leaks point to faults like corroded pipes or a cracked storage tank.
- Faulty thermostat – If the water is cooler or hotter than it should be, the thermostat may need replacement.
- Rust-colored water – Rusty water usually means there is corrosion inside the tank that needs addressing.
- Strange noises – Unusual rumbling, banging or hissing noises can signal problems with valves, sediment buildup or steam in tankless heaters.
- High energy bills – A faulty system may stay on constantly or work inefficiently, leading to higher electric or gas bills. Repairing your current unit or swapping to a new system that’s eco-friendly can reduce your greenhouse gas emissions.
- Slow recovery times – If it takes a long time for your system to reheat after use, there may be an underlying issue.
- Cloudy or smelly water – A faulty anode rod or bacterial buildup will contaminate the water.
If your system is unable to heat water properly, it may need professional repairs. The best way to diagnose the exact problem is to have a licensed plumber inspect whether replacing hot water systems or repairing it is the best path. They can pinpoint the issue and advise you on the work needed.

Hot Water System Installation and Maintenance
Proper installation and maintenance of your hot water system are crucial to ensure it runs efficiently and effectively. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Hire a Professional: Always hire a licensed plumber to install your hot water system. Professionals have the necessary skills and expertise to ensure the installation is done correctly and safely.
- Regular Maintenance: Regular maintenance is essential to keep your hot water system running smoothly. Check the system regularly for leaks, corrosion, and other issues. Scheduling annual inspections with a professional can help catch problems early.
- Descale the System: If you live in an area with hard water, descaling your hot water system regularly is important to prevent mineral buildup. This helps maintain the efficiency and longevity of your system.
- Check the Temperature: Regularly check the temperature settings of your hot water system. Ensuring it’s set safely and efficiently can prevent scalding and reduce energy consumption.
By following these tips, you can ensure your hot water system remains reliable and efficient, providing adequate hot water for your household needs.
Upgrading or Replacing Your Hot Water System
If your existing hot water system is old or inefficient, it may be time to consider upgrading or replacing it. Here are some signs that it’s time to upgrade or replace your hot water system:
- Age: If your hot water system is over 10 years old, it may be time to consider replacing it with a newer, more efficient model. Older systems are more prone to breakdowns and inefficiencies.
- Energy Efficiency: If your hot water system is not energy efficient, upgrading to a more efficient model can save you money on energy bills and reduce your environmental impact. Consider options like solar hot water systems or heat pump water heaters.
- Leaks: Persistent leaks in your hot water system can lead to water damage and waste. If repairs are no longer effective, replacing the system may be the best solution.
- Corrosion: Corrosion in your hot water system can cause significant damage and affect water quality. If you notice rust or corrosion, it’s time to consider a replacement to prevent further issues.
Upgrading to a new hot water system can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and provide a more reliable hot water supply for your home.

We had our old gas heater serviced, and this company did a stellar job. Big thank you to Ian, who took the time to explain what he was doing and why -- and answered many, many questions about the system itself as well as a bunch of other related issues. Cannot recommend Ian enough.

Woden Valley Plumbing were so helpful when my elderly mother had a problem with her heater.

Accidentally ripped out bathroom vanity and caused massive water leak until mains turned off. Nick came “out of hours” and installed new mini stops on related water outlets so that the mains could be turned on and our house useable again. Lovely guy, fantastic service. You should pay him more!!

Nick arrived right on time which was surprising as other tradesmen have always been a little late. He was very courteous, even took off his shoes when walking in the house and on carpet, and politely answered all the questions I had. Fixed the problem quickly and cleaned up after too. Gill was very nice and friendly over the phone when booking and was informative over the cost beforehand. Highly recommend.

The company were very efficient in their booking and followup, to confirm details the day before the service man was to attend.On the day of the service call the service man rang to confirm the booking time and to ask if it was convenient to attend earlier as he had finished his previous job.He arrived within 25 minutes. The service man assessed the problem, repaired and serviced the furnace. The charge was the same as the quote provided earlier.On the whole we were very satisfied with the service provided by Woden Valley Plumbing and Gas Fitting.

Woden Valley Plumbing gets 12 out of 10 - on time, professional, respectful tradespeople who install and maintain reliable products. Over the last 25 years, they've installed 2 air-conditioning units, replaced the hot water system, and maintained the heater. Quick, efficient installation and servicing - no nonsense, no smoking out the front yard for 1/2 hour, they just get the job done.

Our old central gas heater wasn't working properly. These guys sorted out the problem, and suggested that we replace the heater and fit the new one in the sub-floor. Now we have a warmer house and an extra storage room!I was most impressed with their professionalism. While they were here they investigated a plumbing blockage and a gas leak and contacted Icon for us. They even turned up on Saturday to investigate a possible gas leak (which there wasn't, of course). Very professional, honest and reassuring. I highly recommend them.

My gas heater was not working on a minus 4 degrees Saturday morning and I called Woden Valley Plumbing and Gasfitting around 7am for advice and help. They could not have been more helpful and prompt in their response. I had a technician out within a couple of hours who quickly identified the issue and fixed the heater. He also kindly answered all of my questions about the system and options should the heater fail again as it is an old system. I thoroughly appreciated their professionalism, patience and assistance. I would recommend them to anyone else needing help with their gas heaters.

I had an excellent experience with all the staff I dealt with at Woden Valley Plumbing and Gasfitting. The customer service staff who were able to book me in quickly and fit in with my availability, the two tradesmen who removed my old ducted gas heating and replaced it with a new one, and Andrew (the owner) who worked with me to ensure my needs were met. A great business and one I will be recommending and using again.

It was such a pleasure working with respectful and courteous professionals that know their trade, take pride in their work and live up to their motto.Our major job to replace our Storm Water drains and Install a rainwater tank took two weeks, as estimated. The on-site team worked through solutions for the unexpected problems, kept us informed on progress, explained what was to happen next day and what they were doing and why..Andrew, Ante and McKenzie were responsive and helpful and very patient in answering our 101 questions as we were planning before we committed to the significant body of work and expense.They are true to their motto – they turned up on time, were professional and cleaned up after the themselves.A great team to work with and would recommend with confidence. They are on our speed dial for any future plumbing needs!The tank is full and no more flooding.Thanks team.

Andrew and his team were terrific to work with from start to finish. They undertook major works involving two weeks full time on site, and were courteous and thoughtful throughout - Ante and Liam regularly checked in with us to manage any inconveniences and even moved plants with the digger and replanted them carefully. They also took the time to explain what was happening, explain options where unexpected problems were encountered, answer any questions we had, and respond to our (minor) feedback on the final walkthrough. Overall this team were excellent to work with and a pleasure to have sharing our space for two weeks - not something I thought I’d say, especially with a newborn! They clearly cared about the work they were doing and wanted us to feel happy with it as well. Easily recommend this team to anyone.

From the initial phone call to the work and service I received when my toilet became blocked was nothing short of excellent. The friendly and helpful office staff took my call and promptly scheduled an appointment. When the technician arrived he quickly went to task and gave me a detailed explanation of his findings, which turned out to be tree roots blocking my sewer line. He even took his shoes off when he came into the house! I would not hesitate to recommend Woden Valley Plumbing to anyone requiring their services. Job well done.

how good can a routine hot water and gas heater service get. Brodie was the service man. He arrived on time, got straight into the job, listened to our issues and resolved them. It was that fact that he knew there was a little problem, it didn't need to be fixed but he went the extra mile to resolve, he kept us informed all the way so we knew what was going on. Very well done. I highly recommend Woden Valley Plumbing

I don’t normally write reviews but I couldn’t let this pass. I was amazed and impressed by the level of service I received from Woden Valley Plumbing when I had my evaporative cooler serviced. There were no hidden costs and the technician expalined everything to me about what he needed to do to make sure my unit was working properly and also offered to book us in next year for our annual service. Thank you. Very happy and cool customer. 😊

We contacted Woden Valley Plumbing and Gasfitting after our old Braemar system set off our fire alarms. Thankfully the house was fine, but the fan assembly in the ducted gas heater was cooked.The team was very helpful in explaining our options and the risks and benefits of each one. They were genuinely concerned to ensure we made the right choice for us, and knew the risks before investing considerable money in a solution. A new fan assembly is one thing, but the risk of then having to replace circuit boards and worry about CO readings is something we wouldn’t have thought of, and had to weigh up. A problem of having an older system.In the end, we elected to replace our old system entirely, as the most reliable and risk free approach. The decision was made easier when, after discussing our financial difficulty with purchasing a new system, Andrew assisted us by offering an excellent price and even arranging a payment plan that we could afford. The new system was a 5 star Braemar, compared to our old 3 star, and The office helpfully advises us of the potential for a $500 rebate from Evo Energy for upgrading.Andrew and Emma (the office administrator) also did an excellent job of scheduling us in as soon as possible, which we were very grateful for since we have a 4 month old that was freezing in the house without heating!!When the team arrived the install was quick and trouble free, and the guys were polite and friendly. They helpfully explained the new system, answered our questions and cleaned up after they were done.I would definitely recommend these guys anytime you need a plumber or gas fitter, and particularly when you need to fix or replace your gas heating!

After a very cold weekend with no heat, I frantically started calling around various heating companies early Monday morning. None of the ones I called could come quickly (ie that day) but I eventually I found Woden Valley Plumbing and Gas. The helpful phone person said they’d have an experienced tech to me between 9-11am. Brodie came around 10am, diagnosed what would have been a costly repair to the old, inappropriate-for-its-location and generally inferior gas heater. I decided to replace the whole thing and they squeezed me for Thursday morning. While the two techs cheerily fitted the new system, they had a novel way of getting the old heater out the roof cavity and off the roof, which may disturb some viewers. I was happy with the prompt and friendly service, and recommend this company to anyone who is in need of central heating.

Lindsey Carroll
08:40 02 Jun 20
I liked that they were more concerned with the safety of our old unit, than to get paid on time. Our old heater was failing at a financially difficult time for us, but they were happy for us to delay paying the bill for a week, rather than delay installing the new unit, due to the dangerous gases that our old unit was putting out. Thank you for putting our health above everything else. As for the installation of our new heater, and removal of our old one: fast and friendly service.

Thank you to the A team for coming and installing my brand new heater, extremely professional, well presented and well mannered young men, they left the house cleaner than it on departure, magnificent service and will definitely be using their services again.

After waiting more than two weeks for two other plumbers to turn up, Josh finally arrived and did a magnificent job. He not only arrived on time on the expected day, but worked effectively and efficiently. It was a pleasure doing business with him.

I called Woden Valley Plumbing & Gasfitting when my 25 year old hot water system completely gave up on me, from my first phone call I was completely put at ease with the process. They showed up when they said they would (on the same day) and most importantly I didn't have to worry about a thing as they took care of everything from start to finish until I had hot water again. I called a number of companies who quoted me an oddly cheap installation but there were "add-ons" so I was left unsure of how much it was actually going to cost, Woden Valley Plumbing gave me a fixed price for everything including the valves too which added to the ease of a stressful situation! Thanks to all involved!

We recently had new basin and bath taps plus a new toilet installed by Josh and Ante and it was a very positive experience. Jayde was so helpful when I first rang and she made suggestions which I hadn't thought of and which we ultimately went with. We had a small window of availability for the installations and she made us feel that nothing was too much trouble. Josh and Ante turned up at the appointed time and did a fabulous job. They were friendly and professional at the same time and left the bathroom looking cleaner than it had before they arrived.Thank you for a great job. I would certainly recommend WVPG.

Quick response, and a better price for after-hours callout than some of the competition. Josh rocked up quickly, and did a very thorough and efficient job. I'd call these guys again.

Josh attended to repair the Evaporative Cooler. He was knowledgable and communicative. He arrived on time and worked quickly.I would not hestitate to recommend this service (Its is not common today in trades people.)I was left with longer term options- which will see me seeking out WV Plumbing for future replacement of my aging Cooler, when that time arrives.Thanks Josh much appreciated.

We had a plumbing disaster on Saturday - a neigbourhood sewerage main burst, leaving our backyard in quite a state. Ante from Woden Valley Plumbing and Gasfitting attended and was extremely helpful and professional. He contacted Icon Water to advise of the issue and organised them to come out to clear the blockage and clean and disinfect our yard. We have used WVPG several times over the past few years and have always been impressed with their service, punctuality and professionalism. Thank you.

Called Canberra Plumbing and Drains (also known as Woden Valley Plumbing and Gasfitting) about a water leak that sounded like it was coming from inside the laundry wall. Jayde explained in detail what it would cost and what the process was to locate and find the leak. There was a separate charge for the initial call out and then a quote to fix the leak and repair the concrete slab. Jayde explained in detail what was included and what was not included.Brodie D. attended the same day and examined the wall and searched for the leak. He couldn't find the exact spot because it appeared the leak was coming from under the foundation of the wall.Brodie D. and Michael attended the following afternoon to continue the job. After Brodie D. briefed Michael he left and Michael went to work. He had to dig through the tile floor and concrete slab as well as remove a small section of the wall. He finally located the leak that was under the floor level between the outside brick wall and the interior wall frame.It was now Michael's normal quitting time. Josh arrived to take over, but Michael decided to stay as well because he wanted to make sure the leak was fixed so we would have water.Michael and Josh fixed the leak and then discovered another leak. Instead of stopping (as it was already getting late on Friday night and they both had plans) they continued with the job until the leaks were fixed and they were sure they were no more. Then they cleaned up the laundry and took the floor rubble away with them.My wife and I appreciate the amount of work they did and the efforts Michael and Josh put in to fix the leaks so we had running water for the weekend.I want to commend Jayde, Brodie D., Michael and Josh for their outstanding workmanship, professionalism, care and high level of knowledge relating to home construction and plumbing they demonstrated while finding and fixing the water leaks in my home.Canberra Plumbing and Drains (also known as Woden Valley Plumbing and Gasfitting) are not the cheapest but I believe they are one of the best. I recommend them for any plumbing, drainage or gasfitting work required.

Great experience. Had Brody out when heating stopped working - quickly determined that the heater had reached the end of its life (20+ yrs old) and organised for a new heater install the next day (thanks Josh - awesome job). Highly recommended.

I can recommend Woden Valley Plumbing & Gasfitting for the service/repair of Brivis ducted gas heaters. Our heater was having problems during the start up sequence. WVP&G were able to schedule a service in a few days time and the technician, Josh, turned up at the appointed time and quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it by cleaning the flame detector. Josh was both efficient and knowledgeable and we were very happy with the service provided.

I was very pleased. I had to arrange a gas heater fix and replacement while interstate. Woden valley did a great job handling the work, and getting it done without any problems. They were good at managing the work which was important as I was not ale to be at the house when they did it.So very good service and price. They give the type of service that most other Canberra companies seem unable to provide. So keep it up,, I rarely get good service in Canberra, thankfully this was one of those times.. thanks Glenn P.

The Woden Valley Plumbing and Gasfitting team were fantastic to deal with. They were engaging and responsive from the initial call. My hot water unit was on its last legs and with a family of five I was keen to have it replaced. I had a technician visit the same day to inspect the unit and reassure me it wouldn't burst!!! I then had a replacement unit installed the following day. The team were professional, they explained the options that were available and that would suit my family needs and they installed the unit without fuss. Best customer service I have received during my first 12 months in Canberra - highly recommend them.

Overall a very pleasant experience dealing with the Company. Experienced trades was quickly able to establish the fault in our evaporative cooling. Further they provided a compedative quote for a replacement unit and were able to give us an installation date quite soon given it was the busiest period for their business (peak summers). We are now awaiting the installation which was booked in by their friendly receptionist.

Brodie comes highly recommend as he was punctual, professional and super clear in helping me to understand all the relevant details concerning the problems with my solar hot water system. He arrived after hours and was meticulous and patient in taking time to explain how the system works so i could understand what he would need to fix and why. Prompt service and attention to detail made for a stress free experience.

Have just used Woden Valley Plumbing for my second middle of winter heater emergency and they were fantastic! They got me in super quick and fixed my heater power. While there Jake cleaned out the vents and tested the heater to make sure it was working ok which was a great bonus! Both occasions they have been on time, clean and tidy and make booking and appointments really easy for someone working full time. Would highly recommend

Great service provided by Woden Valley Plumbing and Gasfitting to a water leakage emergency we had at our home.The Receptionist was most polite and very helpful in booking call-out. The tradesmen arrived right on time as arranged and were very quick to identify the fault. They advised us of cost, provided a good value for money solution, and set about the tasks once given the go-ahead. Works were completed within the allotted time and all waste materials were removed. Highly recommend

This is the second time we have used Woden Valley Plumbing - the first time -after some under house flooding where we required some extensive altering to our storm water system they did a tremendous job getting us out of trouble. This latest job was a simple job fitting some new taps. These guys are great - they do professional work, on time and with a pleasant attitude. I have no hesitation in recommending this plumbing team - well done guys.
