Maintaining your hot water cylinders

Hot water cylinders or Unvented hot water cylinders suffer from wear and tear. Here are some of the most common issues:

  • Hot water cylinder thermostat problems – This can result in no hot water, cold water or water discharging out of the tundish.

  • Unvented hot water cylinder problems – Unvented cylinders have more components than gravity cylinders. Combination valves, expansion vessels, pressure relief valves and immersions can all leak and fail.

  • Immersion heater thermostats tripping – Quite commonly, the whole immersion needs to be changed, although they can be reset and the thermostats changed quite easily if performed safely.
  • Leaking hot water cylinders – unfortunately, they do not last forever but can be repaired.

Great service!

Couldn’t recommend the HEROFIX more! They managed to fit us in at incredibly short notice for a video consultation. Son was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly.

Not to mention, this video appointment was free of charge due to my girlfriend working in the NHS.
