Signs your hot water system needs a repair
Leaks and electrical faults get worse fast, and a small repair now is far cheaper than water damage or a failed tank later.
Call Jack and he'll tell you honestly what's wrong — and whether it's worth fixing.
- No hot water at all
- Water is lukewarm or the temperature keeps changing
- Running out of hot water faster than usual
- Leaking from the tank, valves or pipes
- Banging, rumbling or other strange noises
- Discoloured or rusty water
- A sudden jump in your power or gas bill
Gas hot water system repairs
As a licensed gas fitter, Jack repairs both gas storage and continuous flow systems on natural gas and LPG. Gas faults should always be handled by a licensed gas fitter — never as a DIY job.
Brands: Rheem · Rinnai · Bosch · Thermann · Dux · Aquamax
Faults Jack fixes
- Pilot light that won't stay lit
- Faulty thermocouples and gas valves
- Continuous flow error codes

Electric hot water system repairs
Electric storage systems are simple and reliable, but parts wear out. Jack repairs electric hot water systems for homes and businesses across Adelaide, and common fixes like thermostats, elements and valves can often be done in a single visit.
Brands: Rheem · Rinnai · Dux · Thermann · Aquamax · Bosch
Faults Jack fixes
- Faulty thermostats
- Burnt-out heating elements
- Leaking tanks and relief valves

Solar hot water system repairs
Solar systems heat water with the sun and use a gas or electric booster on cloudy days. If your water is only lukewarm when the weather turns, the booster is often the culprit. Jack repairs both roof-mounted and split solar systems, including the plumbing and boosters.
Brands: Rheem · Solahart · Rinnai · Chromagen · Edwards · Thermann · Apricus
Faults Jack fixes
- Failed electric or gas boosters
- Faulty valves
- Leaking panels or tanks
- Faulty circulation pumps
- Poor water temperature
Heat pump hot water system repairs
Heat pumps draw heat from the air to warm your water, using far less electricity than a standard electric system. They're efficient but more complex, so faults need someone who knows them. Jack repairs heat pump systems across Adelaide and works to manufacturer warranty conditions.
Brands: Stiebel Eltron · Rheem · Rinnai · Bosch · Chromagen

No hot water? Jack's open 24/7.Call now and he'll talk you through it.
Call 0421 570 166Should you repair or replace your hot water system?
Most faults on systems under 10 years old. Thermostats, elements, valves and boosters can usually be replaced for far less than a new system.
Older systems, units that keep breaking down, or a tank that's leaking from the tank itself. A new system is often the better long-term value.
Jack will give you an honest recommendation either way — never an upsell. Thinking of upgrading? See hot water system installation →

Hot water repair questions
I've got no hot water. Can you come out now?
Jack is open 24 hours, 7 days a week. Call 0421 570 166 and he'll talk you through it and get your hot water back as quickly as possible.
How do I know if my hot water system needs repairing?
The common signs are no hot water, water that won't stay hot, leaks, strange noises, discoloured water, or a sudden rise in your power or gas bill. If you notice any of these, get it checked before a small fault becomes a bigger one.
Is it worth repairing, or should I replace it?
Most faults are worth repairing, especially on systems under 10 years old. If your system is older, keeps failing or the tank itself is leaking, replacement is often better value. Jack will give you an honest recommendation.
Why does the pilot light on my gas hot water keep going out?
It's usually a faulty thermocouple, a dirty pilot, a draught or a gas supply problem. Because it involves gas, it should be checked by a licensed gas fitter. Jack can diagnose and fix it.
Why is my solar hot water only lukewarm on cloudy days?
That usually points to a faulty electric or gas booster. Jack can test the booster and repair or replace it.
What usually goes wrong with heat pump hot water systems?
Common causes are compressor or fan faults, refrigerant leaks, faulty sensors, blocked air filters and electrical problems. Most can be repaired.
Will a repair void my warranty?
No. Jack carries out repairs to Australian Standards and the manufacturer's guidelines. Some faults may also be covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Which brands do you repair?
All the major brands, including Rheem, Rinnai, Dux, Thermann, Aquamax, Bosch, Solahart, Chromagen, Edwards, Apricus and Stiebel Eltron.
