FAQs
What size tank water heater do I need for my household in Mascot?
The right size depends on the number of occupants and your peak hot-water usage. A typical rule of thumb is 75–100 L of storage capacity per person. For example, a family of four usually needs a 300–400 L unit. Our technicians can perform a usage assessment—considering showers, laundry, and dishwasher cycles—to recommend the optimal size so you never run out of hot water while avoiding unnecessary energy costs.
How long does a standard tank water heater installation take?
Most replacements in Mascot take 3–4 hours from arrival to cleanup if existing plumbing and electrical connections are in good condition. First-time installations or upgrades that require new gas lines, electrical circuits, or relocation can extend the job to a full day. We provide a clear timeline during the quotation process and carry fully stocked service vehicles to minimise delays.
Are modern storage tank water heaters energy-efficient, and will they lower my utility bills?
Yes. New high-efficiency models feature superior insulation, faster heat recovery, and optional heat-pump or condensing gas technology. Compared with heaters over 10 years old, you can expect energy savings of 15–40 %. We supply units with 5-star energy ratings and can advise on government rebates that further reduce upfront costs. Proper sizing and professional installation also maximise efficiency.
What routine maintenance does my tank water heater require?
Annual maintenance extends lifespan and keeps your warranty valid. Key tasks include: checking the sacrificial anode rod to prevent tank corrosion, testing the temperature–pressure relief (TPR) valve, flushing sediment from the tank, inspecting gas burners or elements, and verifying thermostat accuracy. Our Peak Performance Plumbing maintenance plans cover all these items and provide detailed reports for your records.
How can I tell it’s time to replace rather than repair my current tank water heater?
Warning signs include: water temps fluctuating despite thermostat adjustments, rusty or discoloured hot water, visible leaks or pooling around the base, rumbling or popping noises (from sediment buildup), and energy bills creeping upward. If your unit is over 10–12 years old and needs a major component such as a tank or heat exchanger, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repair.
Do you offer emergency tank water heater repairs in Mascot, and how fast can you respond?
Absolutely. Our Mascot team provides 24/7 emergency service, 365 days a year. Because we’re locally based, our average response time within the Mascot area is 60 minutes or less. We arrive with common spare parts and diagnostic tools to restore hot water on the spot whenever possible, and we’ll supply temporary solutions if a full replacement is required outside of normal business hours.
