Quick Checks Before You Call

These take 60 seconds and solve a surprising number of “no heat” situations.

1. Check your consumer unit: If the boiler circuit has tripped, do not keep resetting it. Tripping usually indicates an underlying fault.
2. Check programmer and thermostat: Timers, batteries, and settings can change after power cuts or clock changes.
3. Check pressure (wet systems): If your electric boiler runs a wet central heating system, low pressure can stop heating. If below 1 bar, top up carefully or book an engineer. Step by step: pressure guide.
4. Any fault lights or error codes? Note them before calling. It speeds up diagnosis.
5. Reset once only: If your boiler has a reset function, use it once, then wait 60 seconds. If it faults again, stop and book an engineer.

Electric Boiler Repairs: What We Fix Most in London

Electric boilers are often installed in smaller properties or where gas is not available. When they fail, the impact is immediate: no heating, no hot water, and disruption. We focus on fast diagnosis, safe repair, and a clear outcome.

• Electric boiler has power but no hot water: thermostat, sensor, control faults, heating element issues, wiring or safety cut-outs.
• No heating but hot water works: circulation issues, system pressure faults, controls, pump problems on wet systems.
• Electric boiler keeps tripping: insulation breakdown on elements, wiring faults, moisture damage, or component failure.
• Unstable temperatures: faulty sensors, control board issues, or poor system flow on older installations.
• Noise and poor performance (wet systems): magnetite sludge and restricted circulation in radiators and pipework.

Electric Boiler Installation or Replacement in London

Sometimes the best fix is not another repair. If your boiler is older, repeatedly tripping, or under-sized for the property, replacement can be the most reliable route.

• Correct sizing: matched to your heat demand so the property heats properly without constant cycling.
• Safe commissioning: correct controls setup, system checks, and performance testing.
• Upgrade planning: we will tell you if electric is truly suitable, or if another option is a better long term fit for your home.

Electric vs Gas Boilers in London

People usually compare these when deciding what to install next. Here is the practical answer.

If you want an engineer-led recommendation for your property, call us and we will advise the most sensible route.

Electric Boiler Maintenance

Even electric boilers benefit from routine checks, especially where the system is a wet central heating setup. Preventative maintenance reduces breakdowns and helps identify issues before they become emergencies.

• Safety checks: electrical condition, controls, and safe operation.
• Performance checks: stable temperatures, correct response to demand, and system behaviour.
• System checks: pressure, circulation, and signs of contamination in the heating circuit.

If you also have a gas appliance in the property, book a Gas Safe visit via request call back.

FAQs

Do you repair electric boilers and also install new ones?

Yes. We handle repairs, fault finding, maintenance, and installation or replacement. If electric is not the right solution for your property, we can also advise on new boiler installation.

My electric boiler has power but no hot water. What should I check first?

Check programmer and thermostat settings, confirm your consumer unit has not tripped, and check system pressure if your boiler runs a wet central heating system. If it still will not heat, book an engineer to diagnose safely.

Heating is on but radiators are cold. Is that an electric boiler fault?

Not always. This is often a circulation issue caused by magnetite sludge in the system. A power flush and system health check can restore flow, improve heat output, and reduce strain on pumps.

Is an electric boiler better than a gas boiler in London?

It depends on your property and usage. Electric can suit smaller homes or properties without a gas supply. Gas often suits higher heat demand homes. We can assess your setup and recommend electric or gas based on performance, installation requirements, and long term suitability.
