What Is a Hot Water Tank?
A hot water tank (or water heater) is a key household appliance designed to store and heat water for daily use. It ensures you have hot water for showers, laundry, dishes, and other household activities. With Surrey’s cool, wet climate, having hot water available on-demand is a must. If your water heater starts malfunctioning, it’s important to fix it quickly so you don’t have to endure cold water.
Types of Hot Water Tanks in Surrey Homes
01
Electric Hot Water Tanks
These are powered by electricity and are often found in Surrey homes without gas service. They’re dependable and can last up to 15 years with proper maintenance.
02
Tankless (On-Demand) Water Heaters
Known for energy efficiency, these heaters heat water only when you need it, providing an endless supply of hot water and saving energy over time.
03
Gas Hot Water Tanks
Powered by natural gas or propane, these water heaters heat faster and are often found in larger homes or older Surrey houses.
04
Heat Pump Water Heaters (Hybrid Systems)
Increasingly popular for energy-conscious homeowners, these combine a heat pump with traditional water heating to save on electricity. They are ideal for homes aiming to reduce their carbon footprint.
How Hot Water Tanks Work
Here’s a simple breakdown of how your water heater works:
- Cold water enters the tank from the main water line.
- Heating elements (electric) or gas burners heat the water to your desired temperature.
- The thermostat monitors and controls the temperature.
- Once heated, hot water rises to the top of the tank, ready to flow out when you turn on your tap.
But over time, wear and tear, sediment buildup, and other issues can affect your water heater’s performance.
When Should You Repair Your Hot Water Tank?
Not sure if your hot water tank needs repair? Here are some warning signs that indicate you should call in an expert:
- No hot water at all or water takes too long to heat
- Strange noises, like popping or rumbling
- Leaks or puddles near the base of the tank
- Rust-colored or smelly water
- Higher energy bills than usual
- Your water heater is over 10 years old
If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to get it checked before it breaks down completely.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A typical water heater lasts 8 to 15 years. Homes in Surrey that have hard water may see wear and tear a bit quicker, so regular maintenance helps.
If your water heater is under 10 years old and the repair is minor, it’s usually better to repair. If it’s over 10 years old or constantly needing repairs, replacement might be a better option.
Some minor fixes (like resetting a pilot light) can be done by homeowners, but many issues require professional help. Dealing with gas or electricity can be dangerous, so we recommend calling in a professional for safety.
The cost depends on the type of tank and any additional requirements. We offer transparent pricing before beginning any work.
