Common Issues Affecting Gas Water Heaters
Gas water heaters are reliable, but problems can develop over time that affect safety, efficiency, and comfort. Here are the most common issues Auckland homeowners face:
1. Insufficient Hot Water Output
If your unit struggles to provide enough hot water, sediment build-up or an undersized system may be to blame. Over time, this reduces efficiency and leaves households running short during peak use.
2. Complete Loss of Hot Water
When a gas water heater stops producing hot water entirely, faults in the ignition, thermostat, or gas control valve are often the cause. Older systems are especially prone to worn components that suddenly fail.
3. Temperature Fluctuations and Overheating
Water that swings between cold and scalding is a sign of thermostat or sensor problems. These faults not only disrupt comfort but also increase the risk of burns and unsafe water supply.
4. Leaks and Corrosion
Rust, leakages, or visible corrosion are common in older tanks and in coastal suburbs where salt air speeds up wear. Left untreated, these problems can lead to tank failure and costly water damage.
Gas water heater problems are more than an inconvenience. They increase energy bills, waste water, and create safety risks if ignored. Leaks and corrosion can cause property damage, while faulty sensors or controls raise the risk of scalding or gas hazards. Acting early keeps your system safe, efficient, and compliant with Auckland standards.

Safety Checks Required for Gas Water Heater Installations
Gas water heaters must meet strict New Zealand safety standards. Each installation requires specific checks to ensure the system operates safely, complies with regulations, and avoids long-term risks to your property.
At A Plumber Near Me, our licensed gasfitters carry out every step of the process in line with the NZ Building Code and Gas Safety Regulations. With more than 15 years of experience, we ensure every installation is fully compliant, efficient, and backed by certification.
Safety checks required include:
- Legal compliance and certification – All installations must follow NZ Building Code and Gas Safety Regulations, with a certificate of compliance issued after completion.
- Gas line and leak testing – Every pipe, valve, and joint is tested using calibrated equipment to confirm there are no leaks before the heater is put into use.
- Ventilation and flue checks – Proper flue installation and ventilation are essential to safely vent exhaust gases outdoors and prevent carbon monoxide risks.
- Annual maintenance requirement – NZ standards require yearly servicing by a licensed gasfitter to check flame failure devices, valves, and tank integrity.
- Corrosion and wear inspections – Early detection of rust, worn anode rods, or faulty fittings ensures safety and extends the heater’s lifespan.
