Urgent Water Heater Installation & Repair FAQs

Is a leaking water heater dangerous?
Yes — a leaking tank can drip onto wiring and the ceiling below. Switch off the isolator and water supply, then get it inspected before using the bathroom again.
Should I switch off the heater if it trips the breaker?
Yes. Leave the breaker off and stop using the heater until an electrician has checked the element, thermostat, and wiring.
Can you replace a heater the same day?
For genuine safety failures we can usually supply and install a replacement the same day, subject to stock. The unit and labour price are confirmed before we start.
Why does my heater smell like burning?
Burning smells usually point to a failing thermostat, element, or overheating wiring. Switch it off and have it checked before further use.
