Frequently asked questions
Smartfix has developed a reputation amongst our clients as being honest, reliable, and efficient, providing a professional service that delivers what we promise. Below we’ve answered some common questions asked by our clients.
What’s the difference between gas and electric hot water systems?
Gas systems typically heat water faster and are more cost-effective for larger households, while electric systems are often easier to install. Electric systems can also be more expensive to run, depending on your energy rates, but they may suit smaller homes or those without gas access.
How does a heat pump hot water system work?
Heat pumps extract heat from the surrounding air to warm water, much like a refrigerator in reverse. This process is highly energy-efficient and can significantly reduce your water heating costs compared to traditional electric or gas systems.
What is the advantage of a gas instantaneous (or continuous flow) system?
Gas instantaneous systems heat water only when needed, providing a continuous hot water supply without the need for a storage tank. This saves energy compared to systems that continuously heat and store water.
How do I know if my hot water system needs replacing?
Common signs include inconsistent water temperatures, leaks, unusual noises, rusty or discolored water, and a sudden decrease in hot water availability. If your system is over 10-15 years old, it may be time to replace it for better efficiency.
What is the difference between storage and instantaneous hot water systems?
Storage systems keep hot water in a tank, ready to use, while instantaneous systems heat water on demand without storing it. Storage systems are better for high-demand situations, while instantaneous systems are more energy-efficient for smaller households.
What is the most common cause of problems in a hot water heating system?
The most frequent issue we experience in hot water heating systems is sediment buildup within the tank. Over time, minerals from hard water accumulate at the bottom of the tank, leading to reduced heating efficiency, increased energy consumption, and potential overheating. Regular maintenance completed by a plumber, such as annual flushing, can help mitigate this problem.
How do I fix my hot water system?
If your hot water system isn’t performing how it should (you have no hot water or it’s leaking), contact our expert team of hot water plumbers who will then come out to your home and address the issue, providing repairs or installing an entire new system, as promptly and as reliably as possible.
What is the average lifespan of a hot water system?
The average lifespan of a typical hot water system can vary, but generally speaking, 8 to 12 years is the average lifespan.
