A homeowner’s old Bosch 10P hot water system kept failing, leaving her without hot water during high winds and bad weather. Plumbdog was called in for a replacement — but this wasn’t just a simple swap.
The Problem
The old pilot-light system had:
•Frequent outages during high winds
•Poor gas pressure due to location
•Outdated technology prone to failure
The goal: a modern, reliable system that keeps the household comfortable year-round.
The Investigation & Fix
Richard tackled the issue step by step:
•Inspected the old system to understand why it was failing
•Selected a new location closer to the gas meter for optimal pressure
•Installed a modern gas continuous flow system with a dedicated power point
•Tested hot water and gas pressures to ensure safe, compliant operation
“Pilot-light systems are outdated and unreliable. Proper planning, gas sizing, and installation are key for long-term performance.”
The Result
•Continuous flow hot water installed and fully operational
•Safe, compliant gas and water connections
•Homeowner now enjoys reliable hot water even in adverse weather
•Modern system reduces maintenance headaches and energy waste
