FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOT WATER SYSTEMS - DOMESTIC ELECTRICAL SERVICES
What are the different types of hot water system?
The four main types of hot water system are defined by the type of fuel they use: electric, gas, solar, and the surrounding air/water/ground (used by heat pumps).
There are also systems that use tanks, and those that don’t. Your best bet is to enquire with one of our contractors, who can help you decide on the best option for you.
Is it better to use a system with hot water storage, or one without it?
Those with storage (usually in the form of a tank or cylinder) are the most common. The storage facility means you always have hot water available; and they’re generally cheaper than instantaneous (or tankless) systems. However, the latter are far more efficient and consume less energy, and are therefore more environmentally-friendly.
I can’t get any hot water. What could be causing this problem?
A lack of hot water could be due to a number of reasons, such as:
-
The heating element in your cylinder has failed. Sometimes they can overheat and burn out. Alternatively, the wire coil inside it could be broken.
-
A circuit breaker in your property has tripped. Check your house’s switchboard; and, if this is the case, move that switch to the “off” position, then back to “on”. Be careful of sparks!
-
There’s a problem with your boiler and/or thermostat. If your thermostat has lost communication with your boiler, this can prevent your water from heating properly, or at all. The same can happen if your boiler pressure is too high or low.
If you find you’re experiencing any of these issues, get in touch with our friendly team. We’ll be more than happy to schedule an appointment with one of our specialist electricians, and get your hot water flowing again.
