Frequently asked questions
Repair or replace the heater?
It depends on age and tank condition. An element or anode is repaired; a leaking tank is replaced. We tell you with photos.
Do you buy the unit?
Yes, billed at supplier cost + 20%, with the invoice. We can also fit one you buy.
Can it be done the same day?
It depends on model availability, access and the appointment. We confirm whether same-day work is possible before accepting; if the unit is unavailable, we agree another visit. Hot water cannot be guaranteed until the unit is installed and checked.
What capacity does a short-let flat need?
As a rule, 50 litres for one or two guests and 80 litres for three or four. We confirm it from a photo of the space before buying anything.
How long does an electric water heater last?
Between eight and twelve years depending on water and use. If yours is over ten years old and leaking, replacing it usually beats repairing it.
