Fix Gas Storage Water Heater – Heating Stops / Lukewarm Water

$150

Southbank VIC 3006, Australia

27th Jul 2026

Looking for a licensed plumber or gasfitter to inspect, diagnose, and repair a gas storage water heater located in an apartment. The Issue: The burner ignites and begins heating normally, but after around 30 to 60 minutes, it shuts off completely and stops heating. Consequently, there is insufficient hot water for showering—the shower stays hot for only a few seconds before dropping to lukewarm. The hot water supply is inconsistent and cannot maintain temperature. I suspect a faulty thermostat, temperature control, or thermocouple/gas valve issue. What I Need: A qualified professional to diagnose the fault and carry out the repair during the visit if possible. Please bring standard, common replacement parts suited for gas storage water heaters. Note that the system is installed inside/servicing an apartment, so please account for standard apartment access/space. When submitting your offer, please state your experience with gas hot water systems and include your call-out fee Budget set for call-out/initial diagnosis. Happy to adjust the task price once parts/repair scope are confirmed.
