NO HOT WATER IS A HOUSEHOLD EMERGENCY

No hot water for showers, washing-up, cleaning — a failed hot water system stops the household. Most failures fall into a few categories: failed immersion heater element, faulty thermostat, leaking cylinder, scaled-up heat exchanger, or a control problem. Each has a different fix, and quick diagnosis means a quick repair.

EcoGas’s engineers carry common immersion heaters, thermostats and cylinder spares on the van. Most repairs are completed in a single visit. For cylinders past repair, we can usually quote and install a like-for-like replacement within 2–3 days.

HOT WATER CYLINDER FAULTS WE FIX

Most repaired same-day with common spares on the van

NO HOT WATER

Immersion element burnt out or thermostat failed — usually a same-day fix once diagnosed.

LUKEWARM WATER

Thermostat set too low, partial element failure, or heat loss through tank insulation.

CYLINDER LEAKING

Visible water under or beside the cylinder — usually past economic repair if the tank itself has corroded.

TRIPPING THE FUSE

Immersion keeps tripping the consumer unit — usually a failing element or moisture in the connection.

SLOW REHEAT

Hot water takes much longer to come back after use — usually scaled-up element or boiler interaction issue.

RUNNING OUT FAST

Hot water depletes quickly — could be a faulty thermostat letting cold mix, or undersized cylinder for usage.

ECOGAS'S CYLINDER & IMMERSION SERVICE

REPAIRS

Failed elements, thermostats and connections fixed same-day where possible. Most Perth homes back to hot water within hours of the call.

CYLINDER REPLACEMENT

When a cylinder is past repair (corroded, perforated, or simply too old), we install a modern replacement — vented, unvented or thermal store depending on your system.

WHAT PERTH SAYS ABOUT OUR HOT WATER WORK

Ian J. — Perth

Immersion heater failed on a Friday evening. EcoGas was here Saturday morning, replaced the element, hot water back by lunchtime. Reasonable price for a weekend call-out, no upselling.

Julia K. — Perth

Hot water cylinder had been leaking gradually — finally noticed water on the airing cupboard floor. EcoGas quoted for a new unvented cylinder, installed it cleanly over two days, and the hot water pressure is transformed.

Karen L. — Perth

Immersion kept tripping the fuse every few weeks. Two electricians had failed to diagnose it. EcoGas found moisture in the element connection, replaced the element and the housing. Hasn't tripped since.

Linda M. — Perth

Booster immersion fitted alongside the boiler-fed coil so we have a backup during boiler servicing. Simple job, properly done, full instructions on use. Peace of mind.

IMMERSION & CYLINDER FAQS

MY IMMERSION ISN'T HEATING WATER — WHAT'S WRONG?
Three common causes: (1) Failed element — burnt out or scaled up, doesn’t conduct heat any more. (2) Failed thermostat — element is fine but the thermostat isn’t switching on. (3) Wiring or isolator fault — power isn’t reaching the element. We test each in turn to identify the actual cause before quoting. Most repairs are completed in a single visit.
Sometimes — leaks at the joints, the cold inlet or the immersion boss are usually repairable. Leaks from the tank body itself (corrosion through the wall) are not — once a cylinder body has perforated, replacement is the only option. We diagnose where the leak actually originates and quote accordingly.
Vented cylinders are fed from a cold water tank in the loft — open to atmosphere, lower pressure, simpler. Unvented cylinders are pressurised from the mains — higher hot water pressure (great for showers), no loft tank needed. Unvented cylinders require specific safety devices and a G3-qualified installer. We’re G3-qualified and install both types.
Typical immersion heater life is 8–12 years. Hard water areas (parts of Perth) shorten this — scale builds up on the element and eventually causes it to fail. Soft water and regular use can extend life to 15 years. When elements start failing, the thermostat often needs replacing at the same time — they wear together.
Yes — and it’s a popular upgrade for Perth homes wanting better shower pressure. The upgrade involves removing the old cylinder and the cold water tank in the loft, installing a new unvented cylinder with the required safety devices, and upgrading some pipework. Typically a 2-day job. We’ll survey first and quote a fixed price.
Depends on household size and hot water usage. A 150L cylinder typically suits a 2-bedroom home with 1-2 people. A 200L cylinder suits 3-4 people. Larger families or homes with multiple bathrooms running simultaneously may need 250–300L. We do a hot water demand calculation as part of the survey to recommend the right capacity.
