Emergency water heater repair at an Airbnb in Collaroy.
Hot water emergency? Call or SMS 0410 693 532 to speak directly with one of our local hot water specialists. You won’t speak to someone at a call centre, but one of our technicians.
Late on a Friday afternoon, we received a call from an Airbnb owner whose electric water heater had suddenly stopped working. Understandably, they were beside themselves because they had guests moving in the following morning!
This was a hot water emergency!
A rapid response to an urgent call-out
From our Warriewood factory, we were onsite at the Collaroy property within the hour. After running diagnostic checks, we found that the hot water system’s heating element had failed. Because our service vehicles are fully stocked with thousands of spare parts, we were able to replace the faulty element immediately. Within a short time, the customer’s hot water system was back up and running. Needless to say the owner was elated we could respond so quickly, and relieved to have peace of mind that her guests would arrive to trouble-free hot water the next day.
Preventative water heater servicing for peace of mind
While on site, we carried out a complete service of the customer’s water heater, including checking the thermostat, valves, and electrical components.
Regular maintenance like this helps extend the lifespan of your hot water system and prevents unexpected breakdowns, especially important for rental and Airbnb properties with frequent guest turnover.
Common emergency water heater problems
If you discover you’ve got no hot water, a leaking water heater, or intermittent hot water, our local hot water specialists are available to provide emergency assistance. Common problems include:
- Hot water temperature fluctuations: Often caused by a faulty thermostat or heating element. Our technicians carry replacement parts for all brands.
- Leaking water heater: Water pooling around your system can cause property damage or electrical hazards. If it’s beyond repair, we can replace it the same day.
- No hot water: Usually the result of a failed heating element, thermostat, or power issue. We can diagnose and fix it immediately.
- Strange noises: Banging or hissing sounds can signal sediment build-up or pressure problems. We’ll service and clean the unit to restore performance.
- Gas leak or strong gas smell: Turn off the gas supply and call us straight away. We handle gas leak repairs safely and urgently.
- Discoloured or rusty water: A sign of tank corrosion or deterioration. We’ll assess the system and recommend repair or replacement options.
- Pressure build-up: If the relief valve keeps leaking, pressure may be too high. Contact us for advice, we can often resolve simple issues over the phone.
If you’re dealing with any of these problems, contact us for expert advice before the issue escalates.
