Faulty Thermostats: The Temperature Tussle
A common culprit behind erratic water temperatures is a malfunctioning thermostat. This tiny device plays a pivotal role in regulating your hot water’s heat, ensuring it’s just right.
If your morning shower fluctuates between extremes of hot and cold it might be time to give your thermostat a check.
With Jet Plus Plumbing’s seasoned professionals, diagnosing and replacing a faulty thermostat is hassle-free, ensuring your safety and comfort.

Sediment Buildup: The Hidden Enemy
Melbourne’s water, like many urban areas, can be hard on hot water systems. Sediment buildup, an insidious foe, gradually compromises water quality and system efficiency. Discoloration and odd smells might be the first signs of this unwelcome guest. Regular flushing of your system, a routine Jet Plus Plumbing excels in, can prevent sediment from becoming a serious issue, safeguarding your system’s longevity.
Hot Water System Leaks
A leaking hot water system signals trouble that shouldn’t be ignored. Whether it’s a pressure relief valve acting up or a deeper internal issue, identifying the leak source is key. Ignoring it can lead to not just water wastage but potential property damage. Jet Plus Plumbing’s expertise allows for quick identification and repair of leaks, ensuring your system is watertight and efficient.
Temperature Drops: The Unexpected Chill
A sudden drop in hot water temperature when you least expect it can be more than just an inconvenience. It might indicate a damaged dip tube or issues with the gas supply in gas-powered systems. Jet Plus Plumbing’s prompt service ensures any such problems are quickly resolved, keeping your hot water consistent and reliable.

Running Out of Hot Water: Is Your Current System Enough?
Finding yourself in a cold shower can be a startling start to the day. This could be due to a gas supply problem or a failing burner in gas-powered systems, or perhaps an electrical issue in electric models.
OR is it time to upgrade to a larger hot water service?
As your family grows, so will the hot water usage.
Upgrading Your Hot Water System: A Timely Solution
As your family grows or your needs change, what was once a sufficient supply can become frustratingly inadequate. Jet Plus Plumbing specialises in evaluating your current hot water consumption and recommending a system upgrade that not only meets but anticipates your future needs.
Identifying the Need for a Hot Water Upgrade
The signs that you might need to upgrade can vary but generally include:
- Running out of hot water frequently, especially during peak times.
- Long recovery times, with your system taking longer to replenish hot water.
- Increased energy bills, which may indicate your system is working overtime to meet your hot water demands.
An upgrade to a larger or more efficient system can provide several benefits:
- Consistent hot water supply ensures that your daily routines, from morning showers to evening baths, are uninterrupted.
- Improved energy efficiency can lead to lower utility bills, as modern systems are designed to be more cost-effective in their operation.
- Enhanced comfort and convenience, with a system tailored to fit your household’s specific needs, offering peace of mind that hot water will always be available when needed.

Choosing the Right Hot Water System
Selecting the right hot water system involves considering several factors:
- Fuel type: Whether gas, electric, solar, each has its benefits and considerations.
- System capacity: Determining the right size involves calculating your household’s peak hot water usage.
- Energy efficiency: Opting for a system with a high energy rating can save money and reduce environmental impact over time.
