No hot water can quickly become an emergency, especially when your system stops working unexpectedly. Illawarra Hot Water provides fast emergency hot water service for households experiencing sudden breakdowns, leaks and other urgent hot water problems.
Whether your system has stopped heating, is leaking heavily or has developed an electrical or gas fault, our team can assess the problem and help get your hot water running again.
Not every hot water problem requires immediate attention, but some issues can quickly cause damage or leave your household without essential hot water.
Your hot water system has completely stopped working
Your system is leaking water
There is water pooling around the heater
Your hot water is suddenly scalding or unusually cold
You notice unusual noises from the system
A pressure relief valve is continuously releasing water
An electrical fault is affecting your hot water system
You smell gas around a gas hot water system
Your hot water system has failed outside normal operating conditions
If you notice gas, smoke, exposed electrical components or a major water leak, avoid attempting to repair the system yourself. Turn off the appropriate supply if it is safe to do so and contact a qualified professional.
A breakdown does not automatically mean you need a new system.
Where practical, repairing the existing unit can restore your hot water without the cost of a complete replacement.
Replacement may be more suitable when the system is old, seriously damaged, repeatedly breaking down or no longer economical to repair.
We’ll help you understand your options so you can make an informed decision rather than replacing your system unnecessarily.
If your hot water system is leaking, turn off the water supply to the system if it is safe to do so and contact a qualified hot water professional. A significant leak can cause water damage and should be assessed as soon as possible.

Different homes have different hot water requirements. The right system depends on factors such as household size, daily hot water usage, available energy sources, installation requirements and running costs.
