Hot Water System Not Keeping Up? Autumn May Be the Reason

Cooly Plumbing van parked outside Tweed Heads home for hot water system replacement.

As the cooler months roll in across the Gold Coast and Tweed Shire, more locals are noticing their hot water system is not working like it used to. If your hot water is running out faster, taking longer to heat, or disappearing altogether – you’re not imagining it.


Why Is My Hot Water Running Out Faster in Autumn?

Colder incoming water means your system has to work harder to heat it to the same temperature. If your hot water system is older, undersized or in need of maintenance, you’ll start to notice problems like:

  • Water going cold halfway through your shower
  • Increased heating time
  • Reduced water pressure
  • Strange noises or leaks around the unit

When Should I Replace My Hot Water System?

Most electric and gas systems last 8 – 12 years with regular maintenance. Signs it might be time for a hot water system replacement include:

  • Rusty or discoloured water
  • Leaks at the base of the unit
  • Inconsistent hot water
  • Rising energy bills
  • Loud rumbling or knocking sounds

At Cooly Plumbing, we’ll inspect your unit and let you know if a simple repair will solve the issue or if a replacement is the more cost-effective option long term.
