Ok so our boiler (storage heater, electric, we have no gas) is only giving us warm water, not hot
It was first noticed last monday, the day before we fully emptied the boiler for the first time that I can remember. The water is too cold to shower in unless you turn the shower on full heat (so its just pure water from the boiler) and even then its meh at best. We've been away this weekend so its had 3 full days of coming on with absolutely nothing coming out and its still just the same temperatures
Any ideas or is it one for the landlord? theres no controls on it other than setting the current time on the thermostat, it comes on automatically between 1 and 7.
Google suggests the elements have just got old but would that happen overnight?
Are there two elements in the tank? If there is economy 7, usually with storage heaters there is, there is a lower element and an upper element. Elements aren't hard to replace. Drain tank and use a immersion element spanner.
