Waking up to a cold shower is never a good start to the day. If your electric hot water system has stopped heating, it's often an electrical fault that requires a licensed sparky to fix safely.
Check your switchboard. If the hot water circuit has tripped, there could be a short circuit or the heating element is drawing too much power.
Over time, sediment and mineral buildup cause the element to burn out. This is the most common reason for lukewarm or cold water.
If the thermostat is broken, it won't tell the element to turn on. Alternatively, it might overheat the water, causing the safety reset to trip.
If you see water pooling around the base of the tank, it might be a plumbing issue or a rusted cylinder. We can diagnose if it's electrical or structural.
