Trouble Shooting Tips & Checks you can perform yourself
There are a few steps you can undertake yourself at home before calling an Electrician or Plumber to inspect your Hot Water Tank which will say you time and money.
Circuit Breaker & Trip Switch: Ensure that the circuit breaker in your switch box has not been tripped to the off position. If the switch has been tripped then try returning the switch to the on position and wait to see if the problem has been resolved.
Pressure Relief Valve: You should periodically check and release the pressure built up in your pressure relief valve to test the system. This is found as a little lever at the top which you can lift to let water run through the overflow pipe. A fully functioning valve will only let less than a cup of water out each day
