A reliable hot water system is something most of us take for granted—until it stops working. If you’ve noticed your gas hot water system is not working properly, it can be frustrating and inconvenient. The good news is, there are a few common causes you can safely check before calling in the professionals.

At Gas Services QLD, we help homeowners across the Sunshine Coast and surrounding areas keep their hot water running efficiently. Here’s a quick guide to common issues and what you can do.

1. No Hot Water at All

If your taps are only running cold:

• • Pilot light out – Many gas hot water systems rely on a pilot light. If it’s gone out, give us a call for advice over the phone.

  • Gas supply issue – Check other gas appliances in your home. If they aren’t working either, you may have a supply issue that needs urgent attention.

2. Water Temperature Fluctuations

Does your shower keep going from hot to cold?

• • Thermostat problems – A faulty thermostat may cause inconsistent temperatures.

  • Faulty gas regulator – Over time, your gas regulator may break down and require a replacement. This can be more common in colder weather.

3. Strange Noises From the System

Banging or rumbling noises often mean that there is a build up of debris. If it’s been a while since you’ve organised a service, this may be the fix.

4. Low Hot Water Pressure

If your hot water trickles while cold water flows normally:

• • Check for blockages or leaks in the pipes or taps, if you’re able to.

When to Call a Professional

While some issues—like checking for leaks—can be handled by homeowners, others should always be left to a licensed gas fitter. If you suspect a gas leak, or your hot water system keeps failing, call Gas Services QLD for prompt and reliable service.
