No hot water this morning?
Here’s what’s likely wrong – and what it costs to fix
| Symptom you're seeing | What it usually is | Fix from |
|---|---|---|
| Zero hot water, tank cold | Failed element or tripped thermal cut-out | $275 |
| Lukewarm water, runs cold fast | One of two elements gone, or Tariff 33 issue | From $275 |
| Water leaking under the tank | Tank corroded - replacement required | Quoted on-site |
| PRV (pressure relief valve) dripping | Valve fatigued - 5-yearly service item | From $220 |
Send Josh a photo – in many cases he can tell you the likely cause and price before he even leaves Bellmere. Call 07 5422 4918.
Bill savings – Queensland-specific
Why your Morayfield hot water bill is higher than your neighbour’s
| Tariff | How it works | Best suited to | Watch-out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tariff 31 | Heats only overnight (~11pm-7am) | Larger tanks (315L+), families who shower early morning | Small tanks run out mid-morning |
| Tariff 33 | Heats up to 18 hrs/day, off-peak | Medium tanks (160-315L), most Morayfield homes | Slightly higher energy cost per kWh than T31, but reheats faster |
| Heat pump on T33 | Uses 60-70% less electricity | Homes with 3+ people wanting the lowest bill | Higher up-front - but rebates + payback in 3-4 years |
We’ll check your meter and tariff before we quote a new system. Getting the tariff wrong is the single most common reason a “new efficient system” doesn’t actually reduce the bill.
Sizing for larger Morayfield homes
What size electric hot water system does a Morayfield family need?

| 5+ people | 250L to 400L | Solar with electric boost |

Built to last in Morayfield’s climate
5 things to check before you install
- Local climate compatibility – heat pumps need airflow and a little winter insulation on the compressor.
- Power source availability – is Tariff 31 or 33 wired? Solar-boost feasible?
- Water quality – Morayfield reticulated water is fine, but tank-water homes north of the Bruce need annual anode checks.
- Ventilation – external tanks last longer; enclosed units corrode faster.
- Accessibility – clearances matter. If your tank is jammed behind the shed, a service call costs more than it should.
