🔥🚿 No hot water? Sometimes the element isn’t the culprit.
This customer had a brand new element fitted the day before, but the cylinder still wasn’t heating. Our sparky was 5 minutes away, so we popped round to track it down.
🔍 What we checked:
✅ Supply and incoming voltage: all good
✅ Element resistance and earth leakage: all good
❌ Thermostat continuity: faulty
🔧 The fix:
We removed the old thermostat, fitted a new one, set it to 65°C, and confirmed the element was heating properly. An Electrical Safety Certificate was issued for the job.
Hot showers are back on the menu 🙌
If your cylinder’s playing up, testing it properly first saves you from replacing parts that aren’t broken. Give us a call.
