Electric Hot Water Systems
These systems are a true all-rounder and work well in big and small homes. They’re typically quick, easy to install, and low maintenance (plug in and go). The power behind your portable air conditioner will depend on the model, though electricity tariffs may influence your costs.
Gas Hot Water Systems
If you have natural gas in your home, these are all relatively inexpensive options that provide steady, consistent heat. Gas hot water systems are appropriate for larger households and provide a reliable hot water supply daily.
Solar Hot Water Systems
Solar power is perfect for households looking to reduce their bills and carbon footprints. They take advantage of free solar power to produce electricity efficiently. Cloudy-day gas or electric boosters are included in some models.
Instantaneous/ Continuous flow hot water systems
Need hot water in an instant, whenever you like? Instantaneous hot water systems, also known as continuous flow hot water systems, can give you hot water when needed, so there is no longer a need to wait for a tank to fill up with hot water. They are compact, efficient, and never “run out,” making them great for busy homes.
Trust Prime Plumbing to help you find a compatible option, whether it’s gas hot water systems, an environmentally friendly solar hot water system, or the convenience of radiant heat water heaters.

No Supply of Gas

If you have a gas hot water system and no hot water to the house the first thing to do is check whether the gas supply to the house is turned on. On the pipe coming from the gas meter going into the home is what we call a gas meter valve (tap) located. It has a coloured handle, usually red, and should be in a vertical position. When it is indeed in a vertical position and none of your appliances are working, no gas to the stove, no hot water, etc. the issue is with the gas supply and not the hot water installation unit. The best thing to do in a situation like this is to call your gas provider. In the situation that your gas meter valve is on and it is only your hot water unit that is not working you might need the help of Prime Plumbing & Gasfitting.

Pilot Light is out

Another very common cause of a lack of hot water in the house is a pilot light that is out. Most hot water installation system have clear instructions on the unit as to how to turn the pilot light back on, but if you’re unsure how to do it, you can always give our friendly staff at Prime Plumbing and Gasfitting a call. When you’re relighting the pilot light you might have to light it a few times to force the air out. Once the light is burning consistently again your hot water should be up and running again in minutes.

Tank size

Depending on the type of system you have the size of the tank might not be sufficient for your household (anymore). Storage hot water systems have a limited supply of water. Running the dishwasher, the washing machine, and having a shower at the same time for example might not be possible with a storage hot water system. Upgrading from storage to an instant hot water system might be a good solution to increase the water pressure if your household constantly runs out of hot water.

Faulty thermostat

Having hot water intermittently can indicate an issue with the thermostat. Check if it is set correctly. If it is, but the water is either not hot enough or constantly hot and cold chances are the thermostat is broken. Luckily, replacing the thermostat is something the expert plumbers at Prime Plumbing and Gasfitting can easily assist you with rather than to suggest new hot water installation.

Leaky tank

Another less common, cause of not having (enough) hot water is a leak in the hot water tank. Usually, this issue will present itself quite abruptly and is not something that can be fixed without the involvement of hot water installation from professional plumber. To minimise the possible damage from a leaky tank you may want to check the tank for leaks regularly. A slight drop from the Temperature pressure relief (TPR) valve is normal, due to water expanding as it heats up. Rule of thumb, if you see water anywhere else but at the TPR, call Prime Plumbing & Gasfitting.
