Hot water is essential to modern life. From bathing to washing dishes to cleaning up around the home, you’ll need hot water readily available from the tap. There’s nothing quite like turning on the hot tap and waiting, and waiting some more, only to realise that the water is not warming. Your first reaction will likely be frustration, followed by confusion, followed by the decision to call in professional assistance, such as an EasyFlow technician.
However, while we’re more than happy to provide any help needed to troubleshoot, repair or replace a hot water heater, there are a few quick and easy steps you can take on your own to save time and money. These checks are related to the electrical supply to the boiler, and are safe for the average homeowner to carry out, providing you bear a few basics in mind relating to electrical safety. The self-help checks detailed within this guide are relatively basic, but essential, and can spare you the need to call EasyFlow for more in-depth assistance.
With that being said, if you’re unsure how to complete these checks safely, or have any qualms about your ability to complete them yourself, call for assistance or book a call-out with an EasyFlow technician.
Essential Things to Remember Before Beginning
Is the electrical supply to the boiler RCD protected? In addition to the breaker, the electrical circuit connected to the hot water heater may be RCD protected. If this is the case, try turning it back on. If the RCD does not stay in the on position, leave it in the off position. Then, follow these steps:
Is the water heater controller or programmer switched on and set correctly? It may have been inadvertently knocked and turned the hot water system off. Alternatively, summer settings might not be adequate for wintertime temperatures when incoming water from the mains is much colder and requires more time to heat.
Another possible cause of no hot water is higher than normal hot water use. Has the household been taking more baths or longer showers than normal? Hot water cylinders vary in capacity from 120 litres upward. The average cylinder holds between 160 and 210 litres. The problem might not be a water heater fault’s simple high demand might be the culprit. You can address this in the short-term by pressing the boost function. If the higher demand is more permanent in nature, you can adjust the time clock on the water heater to suit your new usage situation.
If the steps listed above do not help, you’ll need to call EasyFlow for professional assistance. If you need assistance with any hot water heater repairs, to schedule hot water heater maintenance, or to install a new hot water heater, call EasyFlow at 0800 433 4043
