Common questions

Who fixes a leaking hot water system?
A plumber who works on hot water systems can inspect the leak. A gas or electrical fault may also need a tradesperson licensed for that work.
Should I repair or replace the unit?
That depends on the failed part and the condition of the unit. A clear photo of the label helps a tradesperson identify the model before advising you.
Can I switch from gas to a heat pump?
It may be possible, but the location, water connections and electrical supply need to suit the new system. Ask the installer what changes the switch requires.
