Licensed Repairs
Keep Your Hot Water Safe & Reliable
Gas hot water systems are efficient and long-lasting — but like any appliance, they need proper care to stay that way. With Harwood Plumbing & Gasfitting’s professional gas service and repair in Darwin, you can ensure your system runs safely, efficiently and at the perfect temperature all year round.
Over time, burners can clog, valves can wear and thermostats can drift out of calibration. Left unchecked, these issues can lead to inconsistent water temperature, higher gas bills or even safety risks. That’s why regular servicing from licensed gasfitters is essential.
Our experienced technicians inspect every part of your system, from ignition and pressure controls to flues and seals, ensuring everything meets strict safety standards. Whether you’ve noticed low heat output, strange noises or a pilot light that keeps going out, professional servicing restores performance and peace of mind. Call (08) 8984 4008 to book.

Prompt Servicing
Prevent Problems Before They Start
Routine servicing is the best way to avoid sudden breakdowns. Regular maintenance not only improves energy efficiency but also extends the lifespan of your gas hot water system. A professional service typically includes cleaning burners, checking for gas leaks, testing safety valves and inspecting for corrosion or blockages in the flue.
If an issue is found, prompt repair prevents it from developing into a bigger — and more expensive — problem. Even small faults can affect water pressure, temperature stability or ignition reliability. By addressing them early, you’ll maintain consistent performance and reduce running costs over time.
When your hot water system stops working, you don’t have time to wait around. Licensed gasfitters are trained to diagnose faults quickly and repair them on the spot whenever possible. Using genuine parts and manufacturer-approved methods, they restore your system to full working condition without compromising safety. Regular servicing also ensures ongoing warranty coverage for newer systems.
FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
How often should I service my gas hot water system?
It’s recommended to service your gas hot water system every 12 months. Regular maintenance ensures the burners stay clean, valves operate safely and gas flow remains consistent. For older systems or those used heavily, servicing every six months can help detect wear early and prevent breakdowns.
What are the signs my gas hot water system needs repair?
Common signs include fluctuating water temperatures, reduced water pressure, unusual smells or a yellow instead of blue pilot flame. You might also hear popping or hissing sounds from the tank. These symptoms indicate issues with the burner, thermostat or gas flow that require immediate attention from a licensed gasfitter.
Is it dangerous to use a faulty gas hot water system?
Yes. Faulty gas appliances can leak carbon monoxide, which is colourless and odourless but extremely dangerous. Any signs of poor performance, unusual smells or soot marks near your system should be checked by a professional immediately. Licensed gasfitters have specialised equipment to test for leaks and ensure your system operates safely.
