COMMON PROBLEMS
NO HEAT -This is often due to low pressure on the boiler which can be topped up easily by following manufacturer’s instructions which can be downloaded from the internet
NO ELECTRIC – This is often an appliance that has caused your fuse box (also called RCD) to cut off for safety – think about what you were doing when the electric went off and unplug that appliance (could be a bulb, iron, washing machine etc), Go to the fuse board and ensure all switches are on and reset by turning the main switch on the RCD Consumer unit (fuse box) off then on again. If this doesn’t work, check with neighbours if there is an area outage or alternatively check Electricity Northwest with email above.
