A hot water system approaching two decades of service will show its age internally regardless of external appearance. The Bosch EMF unit at this Mapleton property had stopped firing altogether, and inspection revealed corrosion through the heat exchanger and gas valve assembly. Repairing individual components on a unit this old would have been a temporary fix with no certainty of longevity. Our gas fitter removed the failed system and installed a new Thermann continuous flow unit in its place. The changeover required 20mm copper pipework for both water and gas connections, fitted using press fittings for reliability. Sunshine Coast Plumbing and Hot Water issued a gas compliance certificate upon completion. Hinterland homeowners with ageing continuous flow systems can learn more about replacement options through our website before the hot water system fails completely.
