There’s nothing worse than stepping into a cold shower and realising your gas hot water system has stopped working.
At Gas Services QLD, we specialise in diagnosing and repairing gas hot water systems across Noosa, Gympie, and the Sunshine Coast, and we’ve noticed the same few issues popping up time and time again.
Here’s a look at the most common hot water problems we fix — and how you can spot them before they get worse.
💧 1. The Pilot Light Keeps Going Out
If your gas hot water system’s pilot light keeps extinguishing, it’s usually a sign of:
-
-
A faulty thermocouple
-
A blocked burner or gas line
-
Low gas pressure or regulator issues
-
Sometimes it’s as simple as wind blowing the flame out (especially in outdoor systems), but ongoing issues should always be checked by a licensed gas fitter.
⚙️ 2. Water Is Warm, Not Hot
Lukewarm water is one of the most common complaints we hear from homeowners around Noosa and Gympie. This can happen due to:
-
-
A faulty thermostat
-
Gas supply or burner issues
-
If your water temperature keeps fluctuating, it might mean your system is struggling to maintain consistent gas flow — something that requires professional attention.
🧯 3. You Smell Gas Near the Unit
A faint gas smell near your hot water system should never be ignored.
Possible causes include:
-
-
A loose gas connection
-
Worn or cracked fittings
-
Corrosion in the supply line
-
Even a small leak can be dangerous, so turn off the gas at the bottle or meter and call us immediately. Our team can test for leaks, replace faulty parts, and ensure your system is compliant and safe.
🔄 4. The System Cuts Out or Won’t Relight
If your unit keeps cutting out after a few minutes, the problem could be electrical (if it has an ignition system), or related to poor ventilation or blocked exhausts. These issues are especially common in older coastal homes, where dust and humidity affect components.
🧰 5. Low or Inconsistent Water Pressure
This could be due to:
-
-
A partially blocked gas line
-
A water supply restriction
-
If you’ve ruled out household water supply issues, it’s time to have a gas fitter test your system’s flow and performance.
