No hot water or only a small amount
Tell us which controls are switched on, whether the system has off-peak heating and whether a boost produces hot water. These details help narrow down the fault; avoid repeatedly resetting a tripping control.
If your cylinder is not heating, the cause may be the immersion element, thermostat, programmer or power supply. We diagnose the fault before recommending replacement.

Immersion fittings vary: some screw in, while others use a retaining arrangement and seal. We check the cylinder model before sourcing parts. Replacement may require draining, safe access and a working drain-off.
We check the intended heating schedule and explain how the controls work. Where appropriate, a suitable programmer can manage the main heating and boost periods. Settings depend on your cylinder and electrical installation.
Scorching, melting, a burning smell or an unusually hot switch needs prompt investigation. Isolate the affected supply if it is safe to do so. Switch and circuit suitability must be assessed for the actual installation.
