Servicing and replacement
A problem with your water heating system could land you in hot water

If your hot water cylinder is leaking, rusting, or experiencing pressure problems or significant electronic faults, it may be time for a replacement.
While modern hot water cylinders can last several decades—up to 40 years—older units often have a shorter lifespan. This can be further reduced by faults, leaks, and other issues. Homeowners often upgrade from low-pressure cylinders to mains pressure cylinders for improved water flow throughout the house.
If you need to replace your hot water cylinder, contact Pipe Doctor. Our experienced team can offer expert advice on the best cylinder for your home and perform the replacement quickly and efficiently.
