Problems with water temperature are often an indication of a faulty immersion heater

Faults to immersion heaters are often caused by hard water (lime scale) build up within the tank. This eats away at the copper element and causes it to short circuit or sometimes just not heat up. The element is encased inside the tank of water and requires a skilled, experienced workman to replace it. The water has to be drained away before the element can be removed. Great care has to be taken not to cause any leaks or air locks on refilling the tank.

Other faults include the power failure to the switch or element which can be carried out on our hourly rate.

Tripped circuits or blown fuses can occur at any time, leaving you without lights or power and risk of losing your freezer contents.

Our trained staff can be with you at short notice and often within the hour to trace and repair these faults. On arrival, the engineer will ask of any recent building work or leaks you may have had. Then an initial inspection of fittings and fixtures will be carried out to check for loose connections or dampness etc.

If no obvious faults are detected he will proceed to carrying out an instrumental test procedure using a calibrated test instrument (usually using the insulation resistance setting of the tester). Other tests carried out can be: polarity, voltage, current demand, earth path (Ze) and (Zs) and RCD tests.

On completion of these tests a conclusion will be made and if further work is needed (in the replacement of fittings or rewiring of faulty cables) then a full quote will be issued before commencement of any further work. This will include labour and materials.
