Common issues with gas hot water systems
Below is a quick check list to troubleshoot problems you may experience with your gas water heating. However, remember that any gas hot water repairs need to be done by a qualified plumber or gas fitter . This is for your safety and to protect your warranty, uncertified work may void the warranty on the fitting or appliance.
No hot water
If you have absolutely no hot water, it could either be because:
- the pilot light has gone out,
- the gas supply has been turned off
- that the gas valve needs replacement.
Follow your owner's manual when checking the pilot light and gas supply. Do not touch the gas valve, as this requires a licenced plumber.
Not enough hot water
If you don't have enough hot water or it takes too long to reheat, the issue could be
- the thermostat set is too low and needs to be turned up
- due to a build up of sediment in tank
- you could have low gas pressure

If you are concerned that this is not a normally occurring sound or it has just become noisy, the issue could be caused by:
