Is my hot water service still covered under warranty?

When ever we get a new inquiry relating to a faulty hot water system the first thing we always ask our customer is how old is your current system?

9 out of 10 times the answer is I’m not sure but it’s pretty old.  So how can you tell what age the hot water service is?  And if it is still covered under a manufacturer’s warranty?

All hot water services come with some form of compliance plate or sticker attached to them, the trick is finding where this information is located on the system itself and if it is still legible.

If your hot water service is located on the roof ie: Solar Hot Water Service finding the compliance plate is going to be tricky unless you have a ladder and you’re not worried about climbing onto roofs.  Other types of water heaters such as continuous flow or instant gas the compliance plates can be located behind the front cover and should not be accessed unless you are a licensed gas fitter or electrician.  But on the storage type cylinders which sit on the ground when the unit is brand new you will find the compliance plate along the top part of the cylinder, but of course over time this can become deformed by the weather and fade away.

At Mayfair Plumbing and Gasfitting we always write the Date of manufacture, Serial number and Model number down onto the user manual and also onto the customer’s receipt of purchase.  By doing this it provides our customers with an immediate point of reference in the future when it comes to warranty claims.

You will find that all hot water manufacturers cover everything in the first 12 months from installation by a licensed plumber and then after that the amount of cover slowly decreases.  After the first 12 months things like labour may no longer be covered but parts will be.  Items such as the heat exchangers and tanks are covered for far longer periods with some manufacturers offering up to 10 years’ warranty depending on the material and the use of the system ie: domestic or commercial.

If you have a question which might be related to a warranty claim on your hot water system contact us today on 0429361819 or email all online questions 24/7 to contact@repairwaterheater.com

OptiFlow combustion management allows the energy rating of the new units to achieve a 6-star energy rating meaning it will now cost you less to heat the water from your continuous flow system, the list of benefits just keeps growing.

Just another suburb we work with pipes and drains, Wingfield in Adelaide's northern suburbs

Don't get caught sleeping on the job in Wingfield, you'll be woken up by a freight train heading out of the main rail yards in Dry Creek and Mawson Lakes.  Your likely to spot the most train activity while working in Wingfield would be along South Terrace and a small section of Cormack Road before the trains exit and enter Ottoway.

During the day time hours of the week between Monday to Friday you'll find the streets in and out of Wingfield very busy.  Of an evening things quiet down and its not a place you might want to be found wondering around in with the Gypsy Jokers Motor Cycle (GJMC) club calling this location there home there can be a spot of police activity occasionally.

Wingfield which is one of the states older suburbs was formed back in 1877.  It has become home to Adelaide's largest industrial and commercial industries and lets not forget the Wingfield dump on the Northern side of the Port River Express way.  Due to the fact many of the states head offices are located here its not un common to find more higher end drinking and boiling water dispensers such as the ZIP Hydro Tap and the Billi models.   These need regular servicing and a times can be a little challenging for our plumbers due to the complex nature of the computer controlled systems inside of them, but regardless of how big the challenge we always get the job done.

The importance of as constructed plumbing drawings

How many times do you go to a job to investigate a plumbing or gas problem for the first time and no one knows where anything discharges to or how to isolate anything?  Far too many times!!

Usually in an emergency situation we find ourselves at a job where we are expected to unblock a drain or fix a burst water pipe in an absolute hurry, but we have never been to this particular property before and no one on site has any idea about where we can find an isolation valve or an inspection opening for the sewer and storm water drains.

When it comes to commercial property the value of as constructed drawings is the equivalent of gold for a plumber.  For us as licensed plumbers to come to a business we have never attended before and to have access to drawings which will point us in the right direction of how to safely fix a plumbing problem is priceless.

During the construction of a new build some plumbing firms will cut corners and not have as built plans drawn up (cutting corners), this just spells disaster for later years to come.  With a quick look at an as constructed drawing we can quickly identify if perhaps grass has grown over an IP or perhaps the dry wall company forgot to cut in an access hatch for an isolation valve on the gas lines.

At Mayfair Plumbing and Gasfitting we have our own in house team of draft people who draw all of our as constructed sewer, water, gas, storm water and infrastructure plans using the latest programs such as Auto CAD and BIM.  The benefit of using this technology is that it does not matter which one of our technicians we send to the job (if our construction team originally built it in Adelaide) they can always access our online data base of files from jobs we have constructed over the years to get an understanding immediately of how to best tackle to problem.
