Quick answers
How much does a new hot water system cost installed?+
Electric storage systems typically cost $1,100 to $2,000 installed, gas systems $1,200 to $2,500, and heat pumps $2,500 to $4,500 before rebates bring them down substantially. Instantaneous gas sits around $1,200 to $2,800 depending on flow rate. Like-for-like swaps sit at the lower end; fuel changes add electrical or gas work.
Can my hot water be fixed or replaced today?+
Usually, if you call in the morning: same-day replacement of common electric and gas storage sizes is standard practice for hot water specialists carrying stock. Unusual sizes, solar and heat pumps typically take a day or two. Ask the plumber to confirm the exact unit and time window when booking, not after arrival.
How long do hot water systems last?+
Storage tanks typically last 8 to 12 years, instantaneous gas 15 to 20 with servicing, and heat pumps around 10 to 15. Anode replacement mid-life can stretch a tank's years. Once a tank passes a decade, budget for replacement rather than repeated repairs.
Why is my hot water running out quickly?+
In a storage system: a failed element or thermostat (heating only the top of the tank), sediment buildup, or a tank simply too small for the household. In instantaneous systems, undersized flow rate shows up when two showers run at once. An element and thermostat swap is a cheap fix; persistent shortfall means resizing.
