Common Electric Boiler Faults

The heating element is the part that fails most, usually because of limescale. After that come the thermostat, the pressure vessel, the circuit board and a supply that keeps tripping. The boiler may still show a light and still leave you with no heat, so proper testing matters.

Limescale and Hard Water

Water across much of Surrey is hard, so scale builds up on the element. Scale acts like a blanket, the element runs hotter and eventually burns out. Replacing the element fixes the symptom. A scale reducer on the incoming supply slows the problem coming back.

Electrical Safety Checks

An electric boiler pulls a heavy current, so we check the supply cable, the breaker and the connections as well as the boiler itself. A breaker that keeps tripping is often a warning about the element or the wiring rather than a nuisance to be reset.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you repair an electric boiler in Godalming the same day?

Usually yes. We aim to be with you within two hours of your call and carry elements, thermostats and pressure vessels for the common makes. If your boiler needs a part we do not hold, we order it and confirm the date it will be fitted before we leave.

Why does my electric boiler keep tripping the breaker in Godalming?

A breaker that trips repeatedly usually means the heating element has failed and is leaking current to earth. It can also be a damaged cable or a loose connection getting hot. Do not keep resetting it. Leave the boiler off and call us to test the circuit and the element.

Are electric boilers cheaper to run than gas in Godalming?

Electricity costs more per unit than gas, so an electric boiler usually costs more to run. They make sense where there is no gas main, in flats with no flue, or alongside solar panels. If your property has gas, we can quote for both so you can compare.
