Matt solved a MAJOR problem when he fixed our burst water in line. The original inbound water pipe was under a pattern stamped concrete driveway (big mistake). No problem for Matt – he ran a new connection from the meter into the house avoiding the massive cost that would otherwise have been the case by mending the original pipe. Always on time, responsive and easy to deal with. Also, not expensive at all. Great plumbing service.

Had Matt turn up for a job yesterday and once again provided quality service at an affordable price. Myself and extended family have been using GOATS plumbing for many years and couldn’t be happier with Matt’s knowledge and standard of work.

I had Goats Plumbing take care of the re-plumbing for water and gas in my small unit renovation — covering the kitchen, laundry, and bathroom — and Matt was fantastic to work with. The quote was quick and fair, the work was completed on time and at a great price, and the quality was excellent. Super easy to communicate with and really collaborative throughout the project. I’d happily recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, skilled plumbing work.Definitely recommend

We are so happy with the work Matt did for our bathroom. He is super easy to work with, pays attention to detail and shared ideas on how to make it exactly what we wanted. Nothing was too difficult for him, such a stand-up guy! Would highly recommend – thanks Matt.

Services

Hot Water Repairs in Greensborough

When your hot water system stops working or is not performing properly, you want it diagnosed and fixed quickly by someone who actually knows what they are doing. Goats Plumbing provides hot water repair services for all types and brands of hot water systems across Greensborough and surrounding areas.

We take a systematic approach to hot water fault diagnosis, identifying the actual cause of the problem rather than just replacing parts until something works. In most cases we can carry out the repair on the same visit as the diagnosis, getting your hot water back on as quickly as possible.

  • Electric hot water repairs
  • Gas hot water repairs (continuous flow and storage)
  • Heat pump hot water repairs
  • Solar hot water repairs (system and booster)
  • All major brands including Rheem, Rinnai, Bosch, Dux, and Aquamax

Common Hot Water Faults We Repair

Goats Plumbing repairs the full range of hot water system faults for homes across Greensborough. Here are the most common issues we deal with:

  • No hot water – The most common call. Could be a failed element, thermostat, pilot light, gas valve, or tripped circuit breaker depending on the system type.
  • Insufficient hot water – Partially failed element, incorrect thermostat setting, or a tank that has been undersized for the household’s current demand.
  • Lukewarm water – A partially failed heating element in an electric system, or a temperature issue in a gas continuous flow system.
  • Leaking hot water system – Leaks from connections, valves, or the tank body. Tank body leaks indicate the system needs replacement.
  • Pressure relief valve dripping – Indicates excessive system pressure or a faulty valve. Should not be ignored as it is a safety device.
  • Rusty or discoloured hot water – Tank corrosion, typically related to a depleted sacrificial anode.

Electric Hot Water Repairs

Electric storage hot water systems are mechanically simple, which means most faults can be diagnosed and repaired relatively quickly. The main components that fail are:

  • Heating element – Electric elements degrade over time and can fail suddenly or gradually. Replacement is usually straightforward and affordable.
  • Thermostat – Controls the temperature of the water in the tank. A faulty thermostat can cause insufficient hot water or water that is dangerously hot.
  • Pressure and temperature relief valve – A safety device that should be tested annually. If constantly dripping, it may need replacement or the system pressure may need adjustment.

Gas Hot Water Repairs

Gas continuous flow and storage system repairs require both plumbing and gas fitting expertise. Goats Plumbing holds both licences and can carry out all gas hot water repairs in Greensborough:

  • Ignition system faults – Failed igniter, thermocouple, or gas valve that prevents the burner from lighting.
  • Flow sensor faults – In continuous flow systems, a faulty flow sensor can prevent the unit from detecting when hot water is required.
  • Heat exchanger issues – Scale build-up or damage to the heat exchanger can reduce efficiency and eventually cause the system to fail.
  • Gas valve replacement – A faulty gas modulating valve can cause temperature instability or complete failure.

Our process

How We Repair Hot Water Systems

1.

Systematic diagnosis
We carry out a thorough assessment of the hot water system, testing components methodically to identify the actual cause of the fault rather than guessing.

2.

Honest assessment
We explain exactly what we found and give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement is the better option for your system’s age and condition.

3.

Carry out the repair
We complete the repair using quality replacement parts compatible with your system. We carry common parts for all major brands to resolve most faults on the first visit.

4.

Test and confirm
The system is tested after repair to confirm hot water has been restored and the system is operating correctly and safely before we leave.

FAQs

COMMON QUESTIONS

As a general rule, if the system is under 8 years old and the fault is a repairable component, repair is usually the right call. If it is older and requires a major repair, replacement is often more cost-effective. We give honest advice on this when we assess the system.
Goats Plumbing aims to attend hot water faults the same day across Greensborough and surrounding suburbs. We carry common replacement parts and can usually resolve most faults in a single visit.
Popping or rumbling sounds usually indicate sediment build-up in an electric storage tank. Hissing suggests a dripping pressure relief valve. Banging can indicate water hammer in the supply pipes. We can diagnose the specific cause when we attend.
A faulty thermostat is the most common cause of excessively hot water. This is a safety issue as water above 60 degrees can cause scalding. We treat this as a priority repair.
This depends on the age of the system and the nature of the fault. Goats Plumbing can advise on warranty coverage when you call. Manufacturer warranty repairs require the system to have been installed by a licensed plumber.
