Questions and answers
The circuit usually answers it: an element gone to earth trips the safety switch, while a drifted thermostat leaves the water lukewarm and trips nothing. We test both, because a failing element often cooks the thermostat on its way out.
Draining the tank is the slow part, so most element swaps run a couple of hours from the truck to the first hot shower, plus the time the tank takes to heat. The common elements are on board, so it's one visit.
The usual suspects are a tripped circuit, a failed element, a thermostat stuck off, a tripped over-temperature cut-out, or an off-peak control that has stopped switching. Check the board once, then ring us with what you found.
On a twin-element tank it's often the bottom element. It can also be a tank that's too small for the household, a tempering valve out of adjustment, or an off-peak tank that simply hasn't had its overnight heat yet.
Either the heater has a fault or the power isn't reaching it during the off-peak hours. We test at the heater terminals so you know which side the problem is on before anyone buys parts.
Yes. We service Rinnai, Rheem, Bosch, Dux, Aquamax and Vulcan, and Dux, Rheem and Aquamax elements are carried on the truck.
