The Importance of Hot Water: More Than Just a Luxury

The Importance of Hot Water

Hot water is often considered a luxury, but in reality, it’s a cornerstone of modern living and well-being. Its importance extends far beyond the comfort of a warm shower; it’s a vital component in various aspects of our daily lives. Here’s why:

Personal Hygiene

A hot shower or bath isn’t just about comfort; it’s about hygiene. Hot water helps to effectively remove dirt, oils, and bacteria, leaving you feeling fresh and clean. It’s not just a matter of feeling good—it’s about staying healthy.

Household Cleaning

Whether you’re washing dishes or doing laundry, hot water plays a crucial role. It helps to break down grease and stains more effectively than cold water, ensuring that your dishes, clothes, and home are truly clean.

Cooking and Food Preparation

Hot water is essential for cooking and food preparation. From boiling pasta to sterilising kitchen utensils, the role of hot water in the kitchen is indispensable. It’s not just about convenience; it’s about food safety.

Health Benefits

Warm water can offer various health benefits, including improved circulation and relief from muscle pain. Whether it’s a hot shower to start your day or a warm bath to relax your muscles after a workout, hot water can contribute to your overall well-being.

Energy Efficiency

Modern hot water systems are designed to be energy-efficient, reducing your carbon footprint. By choosing an energy-efficient system, you’re not just saving money—you’re contributing to a more sustainable future.

The Risks of a Malfunctioning System

The price will range from anywhere from $700-$2000 depending on several factors. Some of the factors that will determine how much you pay for your new hot water system include:

  1. Energy efficiency rating – Systems with higher energy-efficiency cost have a higher buying price but they have a lower operational cost
  2. The length of the warranty – Most hot water tanks have a 6-year warranty. You can however choose to extend the warranty to 10 or 15 years.

Common Issues: What Can Go Wrong with Your Hot Water System

Hot water systems are complex appliances that can develop a range of problems over time. These issues not only affect the system’s efficiency but can also have a broader impact on your daily life and finances.

Here’s a closer look at some of the most common issues you might encounter:

 

Thermostat on a Hot Water Heater

Faulty Thermostat: The Unpredictable Shower Experience

A faulty thermostat can lead to inconsistent water temperatures, turning your relaxing shower into an unpleasant experience. One moment it’s scalding hot, and the next, it’s icy cold. This inconsistency isn’t just annoying; it can also be dangerous, especially for children and the elderly who are more sensitive to temperature changes.

 

Corroded Tank Hot Water Heater

Corroded Tank: A Hidden Threat to Water Quality

Corrosion inside the tank is a common issue that can compromise the quality of your water. Rusty water isn’t just unappealing; it can also stain your fixtures and laundry. More importantly, corrosion can weaken the tank’s structure, leading to potential leaks or even a catastrophic failure.

Leaks in the Hot Water Heater Tank

Leaks in the Tank: The Silent Drain on Your Wallet

A leaking hot water tank is a serious issue that can lead to water wastage and increased utility bills. Even a small leak can waste hundreds of litres of water over time, not to mention the energy costs of heating that wasted water. Leaks can also lead to water damage in your home, adding another layer of expense and inconvenience.

 

WARNING: The Risks of DIY Repairs While it might be tempting to attempt DIY repairs, it’s crucial to understand the risks involved. Incorrect repairs can be dangerous, leading to electrical shocks or gas leaks. Moreover, DIY fixes can void your system’s warranty, leaving you without any recourse for future issues.

Tank Size Guide: Finding the Perfect Fit for Your Home

Choosing the right tank size for your hot water system is crucial for both optimal performance and energy efficiency. A tank that’s too small will run out of hot water quickly, while a tank that’s too large will waste energy. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you make the right choice based on the number of people in your household:

The Importance of Tank Size

The size of your hot water tank directly impacts its efficiency and your home’s energy consumption. A properly sized tank ensures that you have a consistent and reliable hot water supply without wasting energy or money.

Small Households (1-2 People): 100-160 Litres

For small households consisting of 1-2 people, a tank size of 100-160 litres is generally sufficient. This size is perfect for basic hot water needs like showering, washing dishes, and doing laundry without running out of hot water.

Medium Households (3-4 People): 180-250 Litres

For medium-sized households with 3-4 people, a tank size of 180-250 litres is recommended. This size accommodates multiple showers, frequent laundry, and other hot water needs without compromising on efficiency.

Large Households (5+ People): 300+ Litres

For large households with 5 or more people, a tank size of 300 litres or more is advisable. This ensures that even during peak usage times, everyone in the household will have access to hot water.

Customised Solutions for Unique Needs

At Graham and Sons, we understand that every household is different. Whether you have a large family, a home business that requires extra hot water, or other unique needs, we can customise a solution that’s just right for you.

Emergency Plumbing

A plumbing emergency occurs when the drain system of your house is damaged to the extent that it can lead to severe consequences. For example, damaged pipes can let harmful gases enter your home. It is a huge health hazard if you or your kids inhale in such an atmosphere.

You should also treat blocked drains as a plumbing emergency. The dirty water can flow back into the sink and make you and your family members sick. This water is highly contaminated with bacteria, moulds, and other disease-causing microorganisms.

Also, the accumulation of contaminated water inside your house can damage your house’s flooring and property. It could lead to steel corrosion, wood swelling, and delamination of the luxury flooring and walls. Hence, you should treat blocked drains as soon as possible.

Even gas leaks are a dangerous sign of plumbing issues. Delaying it can put the safety of your loved ones at risk. It can cause fire to erupt or natural gas poisoning upon inhalation. You should not wait longer to call a professional plumbing service to resolve this issue.

We aim to give our current high-quality services. For this purpose, we provide the fastest answer. Once you call our landline number, the staff will be there in some minutes to cater for your plumbing needs.

If you give us a call, consider that your work is already done. We value your time; that’s why we prefer the fastest arrival of our expert plumbers to your specified location.

The quick arrival facility protects you from any mishap during an emergency plumbing situation. Our plumbers can arrive at your house in a few minutes and can fix the issue very quickly.

A plumbing situation can be susceptible in some cases. If plumbers didn’t arrive on time, anything could happen. We ensure your safety and security by offering the fastest arrival facility to keep you secure from emergencies.

As soon as you realize a plumbing emergency has occurred, you should call a professional plumbing company to visit and sort the issue out. However, till then, you can do a few things to reduce the damage it can cause.

Immediately shut off the main valve of the water supply in your house. You can find it outdoors near the water meter. Although it wouldn’t resolve the issue, your home will at least stay safe from flooding and water damage.

You can also try to unblock the drain through a plunger. Moving the plunger back and forth at the blocked drain’s opening can eliminate soft blockages. However, it wouldn’t stop the stubborn block, and a plumber could only help.

Moreover, you should never use chemicals to clear the drain as it could corrode the pipes and damage them, which leads to a plumbing emergency. It’s also important to explain the issue on call so the company can send an experienced technician.

Also, you shouldn’t wait upon noticing a minor symptom of a plumbing emergency. You are making a mistake if you think it will sort out on its own. The intensity of a plumbing issue will only increase with time, turning into an emergency.

Although having no water in the house is not a plumbing emergency, it’s one of the worst issues you could face. Many things can cause this problem. However, you must check a few elements before calling a plumbing service to know if the issue is significant or if you can sort it out at home.

Check any other tap in your house to see if they’re working fine. If yes, then the tap is causing a nuisance. It’s a minor issue that you can sort out yourself. However, you should call a plumber to look into the problem if there’s no water in any tap.

A blocked tap connection is one of the most common reasons for the no-water problem. Sediments can deposit inside the connection over time and make it subjected to rust damaging the pipe. Similarly, poor-quality water lines or improper drain installation can cause this issue.

Both issues are considered to lower the water pressure leading to a lack of water in taps and showers. It can also occur if your house’s pipes are damaged or rusted. A buildup of grime inside the line can interfere with the flowing rate of water.

A leaking pipe isn’t easy to identify as it is located under the walls, sink and ground. However, some warning signs can tell you about a leaky pipe. The signs include a water meter showing a leak, the noise of dripping water, cracks, a musty smell, water bills and stains on the floor.

Nowadays, modern meters are in almost every house. When it identifies a leakage, it will show you an alert about it.

If you notice any sound of running or draining water, identify its location. The pipe burst must be somewhere near the place.

If you find a crack somewhere on your home’s walls with some leakage, consider it a sign of a burst pipe.

A leaky pipe can also cause moulds in its area. The moulds can produce foul smells. If you receive this smell, take it as a sign.

High water bills are one of the most relevant signs. If your water bill rises suddenly, a leaky pipe is wasting the water.

There are several pieces of equipment we can use to identify water leaks. This equipment can detect any water leakage, which human senses cannot. Equipment to detect leaks is considered very accurate.

The kit includes moisture meters, trace gas, acoustic alarm devices, thermal pipe tracker and image cameras. Our plumbers use these devices to detect the leak. Moisture meters identify the leaks through the moisture and dampness of water.

Heat cameras can detect it through the temperature of the water.

Acoustic leak detectors hear the sound of water dripping and identify the leak.

Trace gas detects small leaks by passing through pipes.

Hot Water Heater Installation

If your water heater is with a tank, you should replace it after its expiry date. However, this condition applies when you have regularly and adequately maintained the heater; if not, you should replace it when you start getting some warning signs.

These warning signs include high heating bills, low volume of warm water, and the appearance of reddish color inside the heater. It indicates that the period of the water heater has finished.

Other warning signs include noisy pitch and leakage in the heater. If you receive one of these warning signs, call a plumber to replace it.

On the other hand, an Instantaneous water heater has a longer lifespan than heaters with a tank. There are no specific warning signs for it. However, some indications can tell you that the time has come to replace your heater.

Warning signs like irregular water temperature, deteriorated water quality, and leakage are enough to determine that your heater is no longer in its usable position.

If you receive one of these signs, you should replace your heater as soon as possible with the consultation of the plumber to prevent any mishap.

The lifespan of a water heater depends on its type. If your water heater is with a tank, it can last about 8 to 10 years with regular services. The lifespan of Instantaneous water heaters is about 15 to 20 years if serviced regularly.

If it is a gas-type heater, it can last about ten years. Similarly, an electric gas heater has a larger expiry time frame than a gas type. It can last for almost 15 years. These are some general lifespans of heaters taken as an average.

Some factors affect the lifespan of water heaters. The factors include whether the heater is with a tank or Instantaneous, the quality of water, the location of the heater, and daily usage.

The lifespan will be shorter if you use it more than once daily. Also, hard water in the tank can lessen your heater’s lifespan by about two years.

Moreover, the location of your heater is a significant factor in its lifespan. It would affect your heater badly if it is located in the basement, where it takes more time to heat the water.

It is crucial to consider some factors to select a good water heater for your home. These factors can tell you which water heater is best for your home. The factors include cost, fuel type, home space, and size.

The heater can affect your heating bill positively or negatively, depending on the fuel type. For example, if it is electrical, the bill charges will be higher than the gas type. Similarly, tank water heaters consume higher energy than Instantaneous ones.

You should focus on the size of the heater and compare it with the size of your home before selecting it. If your house is small, consider choosing an electrical water heater, while the heat pump or hybrid water heater is the best for a large home.

The cost of a water heater varies according to its type. If your budget is low, choose an Instantaneous water heater. In case of a high budget, you should buy a solar or hybrid type heater.

Before buying a heater, know its size. You should select a heater tank depending on the people in your house. For example, a 50-litre tank is enough for 2 or 3 occupants. Similarly, a 315-litres tank is adequate for 5 to 6 occupants.
