No Hot Water Wellington
We need heated water for daily needs such as taking a shower, washing dishes, and more. It is one of the basic needs of every household as well as commercial properties which need heated water for industrial or commercial purposes such as food utensil cleaning.
Warm water was long ago recognised for its healing and therapeutic attributes. Its taken for granted now. But when it stops it is an urgent repair and as far as tenants are concerned a legal requirement. We can usually attend problems within a couple of hours and if a new tank is required within 24 hours and have the problem solved.
Many customers use the situation to upgrade their water heating system rather that put money into fixing and old inefficient system.
There are many more modern water heating systems that have low running costs.
Reasons the water is not hot
You should check the fuse and switch it back on if it is off. Other reasons can include hot water cylinder element failure, thermostat failure or pilot light went out. In some cases, the problem can be due to a blocked water pipe where water will not come out of the tap.
