Our instant gas shower only gets warm. What’s wrong?

Low water flow from eco hardware or fouled filters stops the burner reaching temperature. We clean filters, check sensors and gas pressure, and fit appropriate shower hardware so the unit fires correctly.

Evenings go lukewarm on controlled load/off-peak.

Likely a weakened element or low thermostat setting. We test element performance and confirm the off-peak relay engages as scheduled.

Solar hot water goes tepid after cloudy days.

We check circulation pump and controller operation and ensure the booster engages at night so evening showers stay hot.

Do you replace tempering and TPR valves and set the meter PRV?

Yes. We test/replace tempering and TPR valves and set or replace pressure-limiting valves at the meter where required to stop hammer and stabilise temperatures.

Hot Water System Repairs Oxenford

Oxenford days run on tight timetables — school drop-offs, Movie World/Wet’n’Wild shifts, sports at Damian Leeding Park. When the hot water stalls, the whole plan unravels. Todd’s Plumbing & Electrical gets Oxenford homes back to reliable hot water fast. We’re a family-run Gold Coast team licensed in both plumbing and electrical, so one tidy visit handles diagnosis, parts and a compliant repair — often the same day you call.

We work neatly in estate garages, side passages and granny-flat units, and we’re happy to book pre-shift or late-afternoon windows to suit rosters.

Why Oxenford systems play up (and what we fix)

Electric storage (garage cupboards): tired elements, drifting thermostats, nuisance RCD trips after brief brownouts; warm garages shorten component life.
Gas continuous-flow (side path/balcony): ignition/flow-sensor faults, marginal gas pressure, or water-saving showerheads restricting flow so the burner won’t ramp up.
Solar boosters (roof/loft): controller/pump faults, boosters not engaging after cloudy afternoons over Regatta Waters.
Heat pumps (courtyards): noisy sunrise cycles, icing from poor airflow, low refrigerant or PCB faults.
Valves & pressure: tempering valves drifting so back bathrooms are “only warm”; TPR weeping from water hammer where pressure-limiting valves at the meter aren’t set right.

Local drivers: estate layouts with long pipe runs, controlled-load/off-peak tariffs, and light salt/moisture from the Coomera River/Regatta Waters microclimate that speeds up anode/valve wear.

Quick self-checks before we arrive

Flow test for gas units: fill a 9–10 L bucket on hot. If it takes longer than a minute, flow may be too low for the burner to fire properly.
Relief line watch: steady hot dribble from the TPR outlet = valve or over-temp problem.
Off-peak hint: if evenings run lukewarm on a controlled tariff, the element may not be reheating fully.

(If anything seems unsafe, switch the unit off and call us.)

FAQ – Hot Water Repairs Oxenford

1) Our instant gas unit only gets “warm” at the showers.

Often low water flow from eco showerheads or fouled filters means the burner won’t reach set-point. We clean filters, check sensors, verify gas pressure and adjust/install appropriate shower hardware.
