Is solar hot water worth it?
Solar hot water systems can be worth the investment in areas with good sunlight. While the upfront cost is higher than electric or gas systems, solar units significantly reduce ongoing energy bills. Most systems include a gas or electric booster for cloudy days. Over time, the savings on electricity or gas can outweigh the initial cost. Government rebates may be available to help offset installation expenses, making solar a cost-effective and environmentally friendly choice.
Why is water leaking from the pressure relief valve?
It’s normal for the pressure relief valve (PRV) to release a small amount of water occasionally — this helps manage pressure during heating. However, constant leaking may indicate a faulty valve or high system pressure. Sediment buildup or a failing expansion valve may also be to blame. If the leak is steady or accompanied by unusual sounds, it’s best to have the system inspected. Ignoring PRV leaks can lead to water damage or reduced efficiency.
What is the best temperature to set a hot water system?
For storage hot water systems, it’s recommended to set the thermostat at a minimum of 60°C to prevent bacterial growth such as Legionella. However, water delivered to taps should be no hotter than 50°C for safety, which is where tempering valves come in. For continuous flow systems, the outlet temperature can often be set directly, typically between 45–50°C for domestic use. Always follow manufacturer guidelines and local plumbing regulations when adjusting temperature settings.
Why is my hot water system making noise?
Hot water systems can make popping, hissing, or rumbling noises, especially as they age. These sounds are often caused by sediment buildup inside the tank, which creates pockets of steam as water heats. Electric systems may buzz due to a faulty element. Banging noises in pipework might signal water hammer. While some noise is normal, sudden changes or loud sounds may indicate a problem that needs attention, such as pressure issues or a failing component.
