The Importance of Regular Hot Water Servicing

Having your hot water regularly serviced is recommended not just for functionality purposes but for economic and safety purposes too. If a hot water service goes for a long time without a service, the likelihood that a malfunction will happen increases and not only could this cause a major inconvenience, it could also be a huge safety issue. Regular hot water servicing is encouraged because if a system is not serviced every five years, the warranty becomes void. This will mean if anything happens after that period, it will not get replaced thus leaving the owner out of pocket. That is just some of the financial repercussions of not getting it serviced. Regular hot water servicing helps safeguard against any issues or problems that the system may be having. If a hot water service explodes or bursts, this can be a tremendous safety issue, at the very least though it can cause damage to the surrounds. At the end of the day, it is not worth the risk. A fault in a hot water system can go unnoticed for some time so it is always the best bet to get a regular service. It is better to be safe than sorry.

If your service is leaking, while it may not be a fault of the service, it is always a good idea though to get it checked. If you notice the water quality coming out of your service is not up to par, that is another sign that you are in need of a service. This could manifest as the water is brown or rusty in colour or it may appear muddy and look like it contains sediment. Another thing to take note of regarding water quality is if the water smells and/or tastes off or metallic. If the pilot light keeps going out and takes a while to relight or warm up the water. Even if you find that the hot water system constantly cuts out too quickly, the temperature keeps fluctuating or the pressure is not ideal. Getting regular hot water servicing can combat these problems before they arise but if you do notice these signs, not only is it a good idea to get it checked out; it is paramount you do. Other than the dangers of a hot water system bursting, another safety issue can be bacteria growing within the system, which can lead to sickness so it is always good to keep an eye on your system.
