F. A. Q.
Can a handyman replace my electric storage water heater?
No.
From 1 April 2018, only a PUB Licensed Plumber can carry out a storage heater replacement.
Do I need to buy the exact same heater model for a cheaper replacement cost?
No need.
Replacing with an exact same model does not result in lower replacement cost.
Many of the existing heater installations do not comply with the code especially the older ones.
Our Licensed Plumber would require to redo a new pipe layout, add safety devices and fittings to comply with the Code of Practice for Water Services SS636-2018 (formerly CP 48).
My current tank size is 57 litres in the master bathroom that has a bathtub. I don’t intend to use the bathtub anymore, should I choose a smaller tank size instead?
Yes.
For shower and basin use, choosing a 23 – 30 litres tank will be more than enough for a single bathroom.
How can I get a storage heater located above the false ceiling replaced when the access panel opening isn’t big enough?
There will be a need for an additional cut-out to the false ceiling usually about 900x1000mm and reinstate after having completed the replacement.
The ceiling shall look the same like before.
The heater has stopped heating up. I've read about replacing the heating element. How do I decide between replacing the heating element and the heater?
If the heater is under 5 years old, it may be feasible to replace the parts however no one is sure until an onsite assessment is made. Sometimes the thermostat may also require changing which may add up to half the cost of a new heater.
If the heater is older, the tank may have corroded badly that the heating element cannot be removed.
Will heater with stainless steel inner tank last longer than others?
Not necessarily.
Firstly, the brands that have models constructed of stainless steel does not provide a longer warranty
Having a stainless-steel inner tank:
- does not stop the heating element from failing
- does not stop the water leaking from the heating element screw thread causing short circuit
