Do you handle controlled-load Tariff 31/33 faults?

Yes. We test the supply, time switch/contactor and element, replace faulty parts and confirm the overnight charge cycle.

Why is my RCD tripping when the unit heats?

Commonly a leaking element or heat-damaged wiring tails. We insulation-test, replace components and verify protection devices.

Can you extend tank life?

Yes. Magnesium anode replacement helps prevent corrosion and odours. We also flush the cylinder and recheck outlet temperatures.

If the cylinder leaks or is over 10 years old with recurring faults, replacement is usually more economical. Otherwise targeted repairs are cost-effective.

Symptom - likely fault - typical repair

No hot water → failed element or off-peak feed dead → replace element, test Tariff 31/33, confirm charge cycle
Power trips when heating → earth-leakage from element or wet tails → isolate, IR-test, replace element/wiring, verify RCD/MCB
Only lukewarm / swings hot–cold → drifting thermostat or sticky tempering valve → replace & commission to set-point
Water running from relief pipe constantly → jammed TPR valve or over-temperature → replace valve, check cut-out temps & cylinder pressure
Heats painfully slow → partially burnt element or off-peak time switch/contactor fault → replace component and re-test recovery time
Brown/smelly hot water → depleted magnesium anode → anode swap, flush cylinder, recheck outlet temp

FAQ – Electric Hot Water (Varsity Lakes)

Do you handle off-peak/controlled load issues (Tariff 31/33)?

Yes. We test the controlled-load feed, time switch/contactor and element, repair/replace parts and confirm overnight reheat.

My hot water is warm, never hot — what failed?

Typically a thermostat drifting or a tempering valve stuck. We replace and commission to a compliant set-point.

Relief pipe is running constantly — normal?

A brief drip while heating is normal. Continuous flow points to a faulty TPR or over-temperature/pressure. We test and replace as needed.

Do you replace anodes to extend tank life?

Absolutely. Magnesium anode replacement combats corrosion and odour; we flush and re-test temps.

Repair or replace?

If the tank leaks or is 10+ years with recurring faults, replacement is often cheaper. Otherwise, targeted repairs (element/thermostat/valves) are cost-effective.
