Common questions
How long should a hot water system last?
Most electric and gas storage systems last around 8–12 years, while continuous flow and quality heat pumps can last longer with servicing. Water quality, usage and maintenance all affect lifespan.

Brown or rusty hot water usually indicates corrosion inside the tank or a failing sacrificial anode. Sediment build-up at the bottom of the cylinder can also discolour the water and reduce efficiency.
Read the full guideWhy does my hot water smell?
A rotten-egg smell in hot water is typically caused by a reaction between the sacrificial anode and bacteria in the tank, producing hydrogen sulfide gas. It's more common in systems that sit unused or run at lower temperatures.

Heat pumps are extremely efficient, drawing heat from the air and using a fraction of the electricity of a traditional electric element. Gas systems provide fast, consistent hot water where natural gas is available.
