Why have I got no hot water in my Glasgow flat?

Quick Answer

The most common reasons for no hot water in a Glasgow flat are a tripped boiler, low system pressure, a failed diverter valve on a combi boiler, or a broken immersion heater on a cylinder system. Plumbers Glasgow Ltd diagnoses the cause on the same day and issues a written quote before any repair. Call +44 141 468 9930.

The four most common causes

Combi boiler diverter valve failure (you have heating but no hot water): very common after 6 to 8 years. Low boiler pressure: gauge below 1 bar. Tripped boiler with an error code on the display. Immersion heater failure on cylinder systems.

Quick checks to do first

Press the reset button on the boiler. Check the pressure gauge is 1 to 1.5 bar. For cylinder systems check the immersion switch in the airing cupboard. If your heating works but hot water does not, suspect the diverter valve.

What our engineer will do

Run boiler diagnostics, isolate the fault, check gas supply, and provide a written quote before fitting any part. Most diverter valves are in van stock so the repair is completed on the same visit.

When the cylinder needs replacing

On cylinders over 20 years old where the immersion is the second failure, replacement of the cylinder is often more economical than another repair. We will quote both options honestly.
