No Hot Water Acklam

Hot water stopped working? Help with boiler hot-water faults in Acklam.

When the heating works but hot water does not

If a combi boiler still heats the radiators but does not produce hot water, the symptom can help narrow the fault but does not identify a failed part by itself. Controls, sensors, flow detection and diverter components are among the areas that may need checking.

For diagnosis and repair of a boiler-related hot-water fault, see boiler repair in Acklam. If both heating and hot water have stopped, also see no heating.

  • Combi boiler does not fire when a hot tap is opened
  • Hot water goes hot and cold
  • Heating works but taps run cold
  • Low boiler pressure
  • Fault code appears during hot-water demand

Frequently asked questions

What should I do if I smell gas?

If you smell gas or suspect a gas escape, turn off the gas at the emergency control valve if safe to do so, ventilate the property, avoid using electrical switches or naked flames, leave the property if necessary and call the National Gas Emergency Service immediately on 0800 111 999.

Can low boiler pressure affect hot water?

Yes. On some systems low pressure can stop the boiler operating normally. If the pressure repeatedly falls after repressurising, the cause should be investigated.

Gas Safety Advice

What should I do if I smell gas?

If you smell gas or suspect a gas escape, turn off the gas at the emergency control valve if safe to do so, ventilate the property, avoid using electrical switches or naked flames, leave the property if necessary and call the National Gas Emergency Service immediately on 0800 111 999.

What does a gas leak smell like?

Natural gas is odourless, but an odourant is added so leaks are easier to detect. It is commonly described as a strong sulphur or rotten-egg smell. Carbon monoxide is different: it has no smell, colour or taste, so a working carbon monoxide alarm is important around fuel-burning appliances.

Who should check a suspected gas leak?

If you suspect an active gas escape, contact the National Gas Emergency Service first on 0800 111 999 and follow their instructions. Once the immediate situation has been made safe, a Gas Safe registered engineer can inspect or repair an affected gas appliance where further work is required.
