What our customers say
Quick fixes for gas hot water issues
Not every hot water problem needs a full system replacement; sometimes, the solution is surprisingly simple. Before you panic or prepare for cold showers, here are a few quick checks you can make at home. Of course, if these don’t work, it’s always safest to call a licensed plumber.
Check your pilot light
If your water suddenly goes cold, the issue could be as simple as the pilot light going out. Relighting it may restore hot water, but call a professional to inspect your unit if it keeps happening.
Reset your system
Some modern gas hot water systems have a reset button. Refer to your unit’s manual and follow the steps to safely reboot it. If problems persist, getting a plumber to investigate further is best.
Look for obvious leaks
A small drip or puddle around the tank or pipework could point to a minor leak. Shut off the gas and water supply, then call a plumber. Early intervention can prevent bigger damage and higher costs.
Check for low gas supply
Low or disrupted gas pressure may impact how your hot water system functions. If you’ve recently had other gas appliances installed or notice issues across multiple fixtures, a licensed gas plumber can help identify the source.
Plumbing done properly, every time
From the first call to the final check, we keep things simple, clear, and stress-free. With upfront pricing, honest advice, and clean, efficient work, we make it easy to get your hot water flowing again.

Common issues with gas water heating systems
Gas hot water systems are reliable, but can develop issues like any appliance. Here’s what to look out for and when to call in the pros.
No hot water or inconsistent temperature
Fluctuating water temperatures or a complete lack of hot water could indicate a faulty thermostat, failed pilot light, or sediment buildup inside the tank.
Leaking or dripping around the tank
Leaks near your system may indicate corroded fittings, a cracked tank, or pressure valve failure. Left unchecked, this can cause severe water damage.
Pilot light won’t stay lit
A pilot light that continually goes out may be caused by a dirty thermocouple, gas supply issues, or a faulty ignition system, all needing expert inspection.
Low water pressure from hot taps
If your hot water pressure is weaker than usual, it may be caused by mineral buildup in the pipes or problems within the unit’s internal plumbing.

Frequently asked questions
Got questions about gas hot water systems? Explore our FAQs for expert answers on repairs, installations, system types and more.
How do I know if my gas hot water system needs repairs?
Common signs include inconsistent water temperature, low pressure, strange noises or water pooling around the unit. These issues may indicate valve failure, sediment build-up or a pilot light problem. Our licensed gas plumbers can inspect your system and recommend the best repair approach to avoid further damage.
Can I switch from gas to another type of hot water system?
You can upgrade to a system that better suits your energy goals or usage. Many homeowners choose instant hot water, electric hot water, or solar hot water options for energy efficiency. We’ll guide you through the pros and cons and the installation process.
How long should a gas hot water system last?
With proper maintenance, a gas hot water system typically lasts 8–12 years. If your system is approaching this range or showing signs of wear, it may be time to consider repairs or replacement. Our expert plumbers can assess its condition and help you plan your next steps.
Is gas hot water cheaper to run than electric?
For most households, yes. Gas hot water systems heat quickly and operate efficiently, especially in larger homes. That said, newer electric and solar systems might better fit energy-conscious households. We’ll help you choose the right one for your needs.
How long does installation take for a gas water heating system?
Most gas hot water installations take around 2–4 hours. The timeframe depends on your setup, system type, and site access. We work quickly and safely to ensure you have hot water flowing again the same day, with minimal disruption to your home.
Are your gas hot water plumbers qualified and licensed?
Yes, every plumber at Zebra Plumbing is fully licensed and qualified to carry out gas hot water system work in Melbourne. We also hold all relevant insurances, so you can feel confident knowing your service is in expert hands.
