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.
4. Any fault lights or error codes? Note them before calling. It speeds up diagnosis.

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.

• 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.
• 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: magnetite sludge and restricted circulation in wet central heating systems.

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 gas is a better long term fit for your home.

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.

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 gas boiler installation.

Heating is on but radiators are cold. What does that mean?

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.

My electric boiler keeps tripping the electrics. Should I keep resetting it?

No. Repeated resets can worsen damage and create safety risks. Switch off if safe, and book an engineer to diagnose properly.
