No warm water? Who do you call? A plumber or an electrician?
It certainly is an emergency if you do not have warm water. Unless it is obvious
(example: dripping water) it can be tricky to determine the problem.
Is the geyser burst? Does it have power? Is the element faulty? Is a Plumber or an Electrician needed to resolve this?
Before making an emergency call it is important to do the following to prevent unnecessary or continuous damage.
One: Turn the water supply to the geyser off.
Usually at the entrance to the building OR at the main water supply.
Two: Switch off the power to your geyser at the electrical distribution board (DB).
Press the circuit breaker labelled “geyser” to the OFF (down) position. Also open a warm water tap for a minute or so to let out any pressure.
Then make the telephone call to a plumber or electrician
Call the plumber:
– if water is leaking
– you suspect the geyser is burst
– you suspect some pressure or relief valve is broken
Call the electrician:
– if you think the geyser may not have power
– the geyser timer is visibly showing an error
