Who’s Responsible for Your Hot Water and Heating System Controls? The Case for a One-Stop Solution

One of the most common questions homeowners face when dealing with heating and hot water issues is: Who should handle the job—an electrician or a plumber? This confusion often leads to extra call-out fees and lost time when the wrong trade professional is called out, only for them to recommend bringing in the other specialist. But what if there were a reliable service that could handle both?

That’s where we come in. Our skilled team of electricians understands the intricate relationship between heating systems, hot water controls, and electrical components, making us the ideal one-stop solution for both diagnostics and repairs. Here’s an example of how we helped one of our clients solve a frustrating problem with their heating and hot water—and saved them time and hassle in the process.

Solving a "No Hot Water" Issue When the Heating Works Fine

Recently, we were called out by a customer experiencing a specific issue: their home heating was working just fine, but they had no hot water. This is a scenario that can leave homeowners confused and searching for answers. While the heating was running perfectly, the lack of hot water hinted at a deeper issue with the control system.

After inspecting the system, we quickly diagnosed the problem: the hot water valve had worn out and was no longer functioning. This is a critical component, as it’s responsible for directing hot water where it’s needed—whether to the radiators, taps, or showers. Unfortunately, many electricians would stop here, deeming this a “plumber’s job,” which would leave the homeowner waiting on another call-out and potentially an extra charge. But because we specialize in both electrical and heating system controls, we were able to step in and provide a full solution.

Same-Day Service for Complete Peace of Mind

After confirming the issue, we promptly scheduled a follow-up for the next day to replace the faulty valve, ensuring our client could enjoy reliable hot water without delay. By taking this approach, we not only restored their hot water but also ensured their heating system continued operating efficiently. Another happy customer, satisfied with a seamless experience, and no need to call out multiple trades.

Why Choose a Dual-Service Provider?

When it comes to diagnosing and repairing issues in heating and hot water systems, both electrical expertise and knowledge of plumbing components are essential. Here’s why opting for a service that combines both can make all the difference:
