There’s nothing quite like turning on the tap expecting hot water—only to be met with icy coldness, discoloured water, or frustratingly low pressure. When your hot water system stops working, it affects more than just your comfort. It disrupts daily life, impacts hygiene, and can make even simple routines—like bathing the kids or washing dishes—a headache. That’s why Stay Connected Plumbing offers prompt, professional hot water repairs in Strathfield, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We’ve been working with families, property managers, and business owners across Strathfield for years. We know how important hot water is to every household and commercial space, and we respond quickly when something goes wrong. Whether it’s a minor temperature issue or a complete system breakdown, our expert team is ready to get your system back up and running with minimal fuss and maximum care.
Strathfield is a dynamic suburb that combines classic Federation homes with new developments, unit blocks, and thriving commercial hubs. This architectural diversity also means a wide variety of hot water systems—from older electric storage units to modern gas-boosted solar systems—each with their own vulnerabilities.
In older homes, hot water systems often suffer from wear and tear. Corrosion inside the tank, aging thermostats, and failing heating elements are all common culprits. If your property has been around for a while and the water has started to run cold—or worse, the system has sprung a leak—it could be time for inspection and urgent repair.
In apartment complexes and strata-managed properties, shared or individual systems may be overloaded or poorly maintained. Issues like uneven water pressure, inconsistent temperature, or unexpected shutdowns are often symptoms of deeper mechanical or plumbing problems. These systems require expert diagnosis to avoid patch-up jobs that don’t address the root cause.
For businesses—particularly cafes, salons, and hospitality venues—hot water outages are more than just inconvenient. They can halt services, affect hygiene, and even force closures. That’s why we offer priority same-day service for Strathfield commercial clients who can’t afford extended downtime.
Even newer properties with recently installed systems aren’t immune to problems. Sometimes issues stem from incorrect setup, faulty parts, or insufficient capacity for the household’s water usage. In these cases, a fast and knowledgeable response makes all the difference.
Hot water problems can feel stressful—but our goal is to make the experience simple, supportive, and efficient from the moment you reach out. We’re proud to be the team Strathfield locals trust for fast response and lasting results.
When you call us, you’ll speak to someone real. We’ll ask a few questions to understand your issue and organise a convenient time to visit—or attend immediately if it’s an emergency.
Once on site, our licensed technician will:
If a full replacement is needed, we’ll guide you through the selection process based on your property size, water usage, and energy preferences. Whether you need electric, gas, solar, or continuous flow, we’ll recommend a solution that’s reliable and cost-effective.
From start to finish, we focus on clear communication, honest pricing, and respectful service. No jargon, no upselling—just expert help when you need it most.
Over the years, we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners, tenants, business owners, and property managers across Strathfield resolve a wide range of hot water problems. While each situation is unique, there are several issues that come up time and time again—and we’re well-equipped to handle them all.
One of the most common complaints we receive is a complete loss of hot water. This can happen for a number of reasons: a tripped switch, a faulty thermostat, a failed heating element, or something more serious like internal tank damage. In homes with older systems, these issues often occur without warning, catching residents off guard and forcing them to adapt quickly—usually when it’s least convenient.
Another frequent problem is inconsistent water temperature. You might find the water is lukewarm one minute and scalding the next, or that it never gets hot enough in the first place. This kind of fluctuation can be caused by a malfunctioning thermostat, sediment build-up in the tank, or even pressure problems within the plumbing system itself. While these symptoms may seem small at first, they often indicate a deeper issue that should be addressed promptly to avoid a full breakdown.
Leaking tanks are also a serious concern. Whether it’s a slow drip or a visible pool forming around the base of the unit, any sign of water leakage should be treated as urgent. Not only can leaks damage floors, walls, or cabinetry—they’re also a sign that the system’s integrity may be compromised. In some cases, leaks stem from a failing valve or corroded connections that can be repaired. But if the tank itself is rusted through or compromised internally, replacement may be the safer and more cost-effective option.
We often attend callouts for pilot lights that won’t stay on, particularly in gas hot water systems. This can result in a sudden lack of hot water and may point to issues with the thermocouple, gas valve, or even ventilation around the unit. These components are best handled by licensed professionals, and we’re equipped to test, repair, or replace them quickly.
Some electric systems may experience repeated tripping of the power switch or circuit breaker, indicating a short circuit or element fault inside the unit. This can be a safety hazard and should be inspected as soon as possible.
Water quality issues also tend to arise, especially in older systems. Clients may notice their hot water is coming out rusty, discoloured, or smelling metallic—a clear sign that sediment, rust, or internal corrosion is present. This not only affects water quality but can also reduce the efficiency and lifespan of the system.
And finally, low hot water pressure is a common concern in multi-storey homes or shared apartment buildings. Sometimes it’s a plumbing issue; other times, it’s due to blockages, poor system design, or aging components within the heater itself. Whatever the case, our team has the tools and experience to diagnose the pressure loss and offer a practical, effective solution.
In many of these cases, a prompt and professional repair is all that’s needed. Replacing a heating element, flushing sediment from the tank, repairing a valve, or recalibrating a thermostat can breathe new life into a struggling system. But for older units that are approaching the end of their lifespan—or systems that have suffered internal damage beyond repair—we’ll always give you an honest assessment. Sometimes a full replacement is the smarter investment, and we’ll help guide you through your options to ensure your next system is reliable, efficient, and well-suited to your property.
As fully qualified hot water specialists, we work with all leading system manufacturers. Whether you’ve got a Rheem, Rinnai, Bosch, Dux, AquaMAX, Thermann, or another brand entirely, we’ve got the experience and tools to repair it.
Our vans are stocked with spare parts for the most common units found in Strathfield homes and businesses. That means we can fix most problems right there and then—no waiting, no repeat visits, and no delays in getting your hot water restored.
Every property is different—and so is every hot water system. That’s why we tailor our service depending on whether you’re in a freestanding home, a strata-managed unit, or a high-usage business.
For homeowners, we aim to restore comfort and convenience with minimal disruption. We’ll inspect your current system, look for signs of wear or inefficiency, and offer the most affordable solution.
For tenants, we liaise with your property manager or landlord to ensure communication is clear and approval is swift.
For property managers, we provide same-day service and detailed reports to help you stay compliant and proactive with maintenance.
For business owners, we understand the pressure you’re under. We work quickly, cleanly, and after hours if needed to keep your operation running smoothly.
If you’ve just lost hot water, there are a few things you can check before picking up the phone—especially if you’re not sure whether it’s a minor glitch or something more serious.
Start by confirming your energy source. For electric systems, check the switchboard for any tripped circuit breakers. For gas systems, check the meter or bottle to make sure supply hasn’t been interrupted.
Look at the unit itself. Is the pilot light off? Are there any signs of leaks or unusual noises? If you feel confident and it’s safe to do so, you can attempt a system reset following the manufacturer’s manual.
However, if you smell gas, see water leaking, or hear hissing or banging from the unit—don’t wait. Turn off the system, keep clear of the area, and call us immediately.
We’re always happy to talk you through basic checks over the phone. If the problem can’t be solved safely and easily, we’ll send someone out promptly to get it sorted.
