What is the difference between a water heater and a gas water heater?

A water heater is a storage tank that heats water and keeps it warm. A gas water heater heats the water on gas at the moment you turn on the tap. So a water heater has a supply that can run out; a gas water heater doesn't, but it often delivers less water at once.

What is a close-in boiler?

A small water heater that hangs under the worktop or washbasin. It provides quick hot water at one tap point, so you don't have to run the tap for long before it gets warm.

My water heater is dripping at the valve. Is that serious?

Some dripping during heating is normal: the water expands and the overflow valve releases it. The drip water should drain away via a discharge pipe. If it drips even when the boiler is not heating, or if the tank itself is leaking, please call us.

How hot should the water in a water heater be?

We recommend keeping a water heater at a minimum of 60 degrees. That way legionella has no chance in the tank. We therefore advise against lowering it to save energy.

Is an old gas water heater dangerous?

A gas water heater burns gas indoors. If the extraction does not work properly, carbon monoxide can be released, a gas you cannot smell. We advise against an open gas water heater without its own extraction. Also install a carbon monoxide detector near gas appliances.

Can a water heater be connected to my central heating boiler?

Yes, that's called an indirectly fired water heater. It draws its heat from the central heating boiler. Whether that suits you depends on your boiler and installation. We'll take a look and advise honestly.

What does a new water heater or gas water heater cost?

That depends on the type, the size and how the connections currently run. You will hear the cost in advance: we work with a fixed price quoted upfront.

Why does my water heater make a hissing or crackling sound?

Usually there is limescale on the heating element. That wastes energy and damages the element faster. Descaling helps; with very hard water, a water softener can protect the water heater.
