Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a hot water system last?

Most hot water systems last between 8–12 years for electric, 10–15 years for gas, 15–20 years for solar, and 10–15 years for heat pumps, depending on water quality, usage, and maintenance.

Why is my hot water running out quickly?

Common causes include an undersized system for your household, a faulty thermostat, sediment build-up in the tank, or a broken heating element in electric systems, and we can test components and recommend repair or upgrade.

Should I repair or replace my hot water system?

Consider replacement if the unit is over 10 years old, repairs are frequent, the tank is rusty or leaking, or energy bills are rising, as replacing an old system is often more cost-effective long term.

What size hot water system do I need?

As a general guide, 1–2 people typically need 125–160L, 3–4 people 250–315L, and 5+ people 315L+, while continuous flow systems are sized based on the number of bathrooms and fixtures used at once.

Which hot water system is most energy efficient?

The best option depends on your household size, energy source, and budget.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Couldn’t have asked for better. Young Ben arrived right on time. Very friendly and accommodating. Even though he was sent out by funnells to do a job, he made an effort to understand what my expectations were and offer advise me on things I wasn’t aware of. Great work and left the site in a very tidy condition. No hesitation to refer their services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Once again Funnels Electrical have completed work at my place, having come several times over the last few years. This time was for a thorough safety check & follow up work mainly for an old cable which needed replacing. Reception staff are always friendly & efficient, great communication. The electricians are always on time, friendly, professional and I am always happy with the jobs done. I especially appreciate the patience with my hearing difficulties. And the clear answers to any questions I have. An excellent local business. Thank you, Funnells team!

We needed fast service for an electrical issue that had caused us to lose our home lighting and they were there and solved the problem within a few hours of our call.

Every team member was friendly and polite and we were very happy with price of the services.

Thanks to all involved.  Great customer service.
