No Landlord wants to deal with a tenant call for no hotwater. Emergency calls to your property can be time consuming and costly to fix.
That is why it’s more important than ever to make sure your property hotwater heater serviced, and that it is working properly.
Following the continued advancement and innovation in water heating throughout the years, there are a wide range of hot water systems available today boiler, it can be difficult to determine which heating system is the best option for your home. We will take a look at vented and unvented cylinders.
There are essentially two types of hot water cylinders that we need to be aware of: vented and unvented. Each of these cylinders supplies hot water to the property, however, they both do this in very different ways and the ways in which they do this determines the choice you make for your home.
Vented cylinders are known as the traditional option, as they have been around for decades, vented cylinders store and heat water that is fed directly from a tank in the loft. this provides a natural gravitational force of water to the system, enabling it to provide a flow of hot water to the tap outlets throughout the property.they are the most common cylinder found within properties across the UK,
An unvented hot water cylinder differs in that it provides mains pressure hot water directly from the cold mains as opposed to tank pressure water provided with a vented cylinder.
As the mains pressure hot water provided by an unvented system is fed directly from the cold mains, it provides a better pressure performance than a vented cylinder. They cylinder must requires regular maintenance to meet safety regulations.
Since a sump pump is a piece of machinery, things sometimes go wrong. Here are five common causes of sump pump failure:
A good place to start is by taking a look at the thermostat on the hot water cylinder. Make sure it’s set to the correct temperature and timings. If the temperature on the thermostat is accurate then we need to take a deeper look.
Should the system be powered by electricity (an immersion heater) then you need to check that your power supply is functioning.
Any hot water cylinder powered by a gas boiler relies on the boiler to warm the water up. In the event that it’s failing to ignite then you’ll be left with no hot water.
Before looking into this issue, make sure the temperature of the water in the cylinder has been turned down.
It’s likely that there could be an issue with the temperature pressure relief valve not shutting off when it reaches the set temperature. This fault can be particularly dangerous because steaming or boiling water could start coming out of your taps; Call Pace Heating & Plumbing our heating engineer will repair or replace the valve.
You will also need a heating engineer if there’s any sign of boiling from within the cylinder.
The best way to check if the smell is coming from your hot water cylinder is to run a cold tap and see if it has an odour. If not, then the issue is coming from the warm water in the cylinder. Smelly or discoloured cold water will mean that the issue lies with the mains water supply.
Hot water that’s discoloured or has a dodgy smell can be the result of the cylinder’s anode rod (which helps to prevent corrosion) and water with a high concentration of sulphates. To resolve this, the cylinder may need to be flushed, have its anode replaced or be completely replaced.
Flushing the cylinder will help to get rid of the smell-causing sulphates but the smell is likely to remain.
A hot water cylinder will make some form of noise as it works to heat the hot water. However, if you notice popping, screeching or sizzling sounds then there could be a problem.
A popping noise is fairly common noise and is the result of debris building up at the bottom of the tank. This build-up traps water which then makes a popping noise as it escapes when the water heats up. If you live in a hard water area then your cylinder will be more susceptible. To resolve this issue, Pace Heating & Plumbing engineer will flush out the debris and this can be done as part of the Plumbing Protection Plan annually.
The best way to prevent hot water cylinder problems is to join the Pace annual service Landlord Protection Plan. Having your cylinder serviced once a year will keep it in peak condition for longer. After a successful cylinder service, you can be confident that your system is running reliably, efficiently and safely.
