Electric Hot Water Heater Problems - Electrician or Plumber?

If your electric hot water heater or system isn’t working properly or has stopped working completely then should you call a plumber or an electrician? Well, if you have a leak, no water or pipe issues then you should call a plumber. If you think the thermostat, heater, timer, cylinder or wiring is an issue then you should call a qualified electrician.

If your system is older than 10 years and hasn’t been serviced it's quite common for a whole new system to be recommended. The number of issues, time and cost involved are nearly always outweighed by the benefits of a new system. New systems are far more energy efficient and we can install and supply whatever is most suitable to your requirements.

Simple Tips for Fixing Your Electric hot Water System

• Check that the circuit breaker in your switch box (consumer unit) hasn’t tripped. If it has this will cut off the power to the whole hot water system. Turn it back on and if it trips again then you have a fault that will need to be fixed by an electrician.
• Check the pressure relief valve to test the system. It is usually a small lever located near the top of your system which lets water run through the overflow pipe. If your system is funding normally then it should only release about a cup of water a day. A common problem is that your tank just needs to be topped up if nothing comes out.
