A homeowner at Serangoon Garden Estate contacted Homeone regarding a water heater rusty issue. The installed Rheem EHG-60 electric storage water heater showed visible signs of advanced corrosion at both the hot water outlet and cold water inlet. Water leaks had begun forming around the connections, indicating that the internal tank was nearing the end of its operational lifespan.
Our technician conducted a full on-site inspection and confirmed that the existing unit was no longer serviceable and posed a risk of further leakage or failure. Additionally, a review of the installation revealed that electrical safety bonding required revalidation before replacement.
To address the issue safely and in line with PUB regulations, Homeone proposed a like-for-like replacement of the existing Rheem EHG-60 with a new Rheem EHG-60 of the same capacity. This approach preserved the household’s current hot water needs while introducing new components for long-term reliability and safety.
All work was to be carried out by our experienced technicians and supervised by a PUB-licensed plumber, ensuring regulatory compliance.
