Common Problems No hot water: Heating elements failed or electrical issue. We test elements, replace failed parts, reset tripped breakers, or replace bad controls.
Not enough hot water: Weak heating element, mineral buildup, low temperature setting, or undersized heater. We diagnose the real cause.
Water too hot: Faulty controls cause dangerous scalding. Control replacement and temperature adjustment fixes this.
Water leaking: Safety valve leak means high pressure. Tank leaks mean corrosion needs replacement. Loose connections tighten easily. Damaged seals get replaced.
Strange noises: Popping sounds mean mineral buildup. Deposits heat and crack. Tank flushing removes minerals. Regular maintenance prevents this.
Rusty water: Protection rod worn out, corrosion started. Tank replacement often needed. Early rod replacement can help.
Repair or Replace? Repair when: Heater under 5 years old, simple problem, good condition, repair costs under half of replacement.

Size Guide 1-2 people: 30-50 liters | 3-4 people: 50-80 liters | 5-6 people: 80-100 liters | Larger families: 100+ liters or instant heaters. Consider: simultaneous shower use, kitchen and bathroom together, morning rush time, number of bathrooms, distance between bathrooms.
Energy Efficiency Storage heaters: Keep water hot 24/7, waste some energy, lower purchase cost. Instant heaters: Only use power when running, lower operating costs, higher purchase cost. Better insulation: Reduces heat loss, cuts electricity use, pays back through savings. Temperature setting: 50-55°C ideal, prevents burns, saves energy, reduces mineral buildup. Each degree lower saves electricity.
Annual Maintenance Flush tank yearly: Riyadh hard water causes fast mineral buildup. Yearly flushing removes deposits, saves energy, reduces noise, extends tank life.
Check protection rod: Every 2-3 years. Rod protects tank from rust. Replace when heavily rusted. Prevents tank failure.
Test safety valve: Lift lever briefly, water should flow then stop. Replace if stuck or leaking.
Check temperature control: Verify setting yearly. Adjust if needed. Replace if heating is uneven.
Monthly Checks Set temperature: 50-55°C for safety, comfort, and efficiency.
Look for leaks: Check connections, rust, or corrosion.
Listen for sounds: Unusual noises indicate problems.
