Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my hot water system needs repairing or replacing?

If your system is leaking from the main tank, has heavy rust stains around the base, or is more than 10 to 12 years old, it is usually a sign that the inner cylinder has corroded and the unit needs replacing. However, if your tank looks structurally sound but you are experiencing fluctuating temperatures, running out of hot water quickly, or hearing strange knocking sounds, the issue can often be repaired. In those cases, we can simply replace a faulty element, thermostat, or pressure relief valve to get it working perfectly again.

What is the difference between a storage tank and a continuous-flow system?

A storage tank system keeps a set amount of water (e.g., 135 to 400 litres) heated constantly inside an insulated cylinder so it is ready whenever you turn on the tap. A continuous-flow (or instantaneous) system only heats water on demand as it passes through the unit. Continuous-flow systems are typically powered by gas, take up very little wall space, and ensure you never run out of hot water, making them highly efficient since you aren't paying to heat water you aren't using.

Are heat pump hot water systems a good option for Southern Highlands homes?

Yes, absolutely. Heat pump systems are incredibly popular in New South Wales right now because they are highly efficient—using up to 70% less electricity than a traditional electric storage tank. They work like a refrigerator in reverse, extracting heat from the surrounding air to heat your water. Modern, trade-grade heat pumps are specifically engineered to operate efficiently even in the frosty winter temperatures we experience across the Southern Highlands.

What is a sacrificial anode, and does it need to be replaced?

A sacrificial anode is a metal rod installed inside storage tank hot water systems. It is designed to deliberately attract the corrosive elements in the water so that it rusts away instead of your steel tank rusting. Over time, this rod completely dissolves. Having us replace your sacrificial anode every 4 to 5 years is a quick, inexpensive preventative maintenance step that can easily double the lifespan of your hot water cylinder.

What should I do if my hot water system starts leaking?

If your system is leaking heavily, you should take these steps immediately to prevent water damage and save money on your utilities: Turn off the water supply: Locate the cold water isolation valve near the bottom of your hot water tank and turn it off clockwise. Turn off the power or gas: For electric systems, switch off the dedicated "Hot Water" switch in your property's electrical meter box. For gas systems, turn the control knob on the unit to the "off" position or turn off the gas valve on the supply line. Call the experts: Contact Nathan at Arte Plumbing on 0419 848 874 for a swift response to inspect, repair, or replace the unit.
