Hot water trouble?
Start with the right checks.
Hot water problems do not all need the same fix. A leaking valve, a damaged storage tank and a fault in an electrical component can produce different symptoms and need different trades.
Jetty Plumbing assesses hot water plumbing, repairs suitable fittings and installs replacement systems across Coffs Harbour. We work with electric storage, gas, solar and heat pump setups, with the work explained before you commit.
Tell us the make, model and approximate age of your unit. Let us know whether water comes out cold or does not flow at all, and whether every hot tap is affected. Photos of the unit and any visible leak can help us prepare.

Faults, leaks & worn componentsRepair what can be repaired.
Repair what can be repaired.
Know when to replace.
A leak around a fitting can require a different repair from water escaping through the tank itself. We check the affected plumbing and explain whether the problem can be addressed with a component repair or needs a replacement unit.
A lack of hot water can also involve the electricity supply, element or thermostat. Electrical faults need an electrician. Our team can explain when the symptoms point beyond the plumbing, so the right trade handles the work.
If the issue involves a gas appliance or supply connection, see our gas fitting service. Water escaping from a separate supply line may need pipe repairs instead.
Discuss a hot water faultReplacement planning / your household needsChoose the system.
Choose the system.
Plan the installation.
Tank capacity, household demand, available space and the energy source all influence a replacement. Tell us how many people use hot water, whether usage peaks at one time and what is already installed.
We talk through the plumbing work, access and any electrical or gas connections needed. For solar hot water, roof access, shading and the location of the tank also affect the options. We explain the proposed installation and price before work starts.
If you want to compare running costs with a conventional electric storage unit, ask about heat pump hot water systems. The best option depends on your property and how you use hot water.

FAQs
Your hot water questions, answered.
Do I need a new system if I have no hot water?
Not always. A plumbing fitting, energy supply or heating component can cause the problem. Tell us your system type and what has changed. An assessment helps establish whether a repair or replacement is appropriate.
Can a leaking hot water tank be repaired?
A leaking connection or valve may be repairable. A leak through the storage tank itself can mean replacement is needed. We inspect the source of the leak and explain the options for your unit.
Do you work on electric, gas and solar systems?
We help with hot water plumbing and replacement installations across those system types, as well as heat pumps. Tell us the make and model so we can discuss the work and any other trade required.
Do I need a plumber or an electrician?
Leaking pipe connections and water-side fittings are plumbing issues. Electric elements, thermostats, wiring and electrical supply faults need an electrician. Describe the symptoms so we can help you work out the next step.
What size replacement tank should I choose?
Capacity depends on household size, shower habits, peak demand and the type of system. The size of your old unit is a starting point, but it may not reflect your current needs. We discuss demand before recommending an option.
Can I switch from electric storage to a heat pump?
It may be an option. The proposed location, airflow, noise, access and electrical supply need consideration. We can discuss a heat pump alongside other replacement options after reviewing the property.
How much does hot water replacement cost?
The unit, installation access, connections and any additional electrical or gas work affect the price. We discuss the scope and quote for the proposed system rather than relying on a general installed price.
