WATER HEATER APPEARS TO BE LEAKING
When the water heater is first lit or after a large usage of hot water, condensation may form on the burner of
the water heater. This is quite normal, especially in winter months and will dry off as the water is heated.
HIGHER THAN EXPECTED GAS BILLS
Should you at any time, feel your gas account is higher than expected, we suggest you check the following
points:
Is the relief valve running excessively?
Refer to “Temperature Pressure Relief Valve Running” on page 15.
Are outlets (especially the showers) using more hot water than you
think?
Refer to “Not Enough Hot Water” on page 14.
Is there a leaking hot water pipe, dripping hot water tap, etc?
Even a small leak will waste a surprising quantity of hot water and gas.
Replace faulty tap washers, and have your plumber rectify any leaking
pipe work.
Has there been an increase in hot water usage?
An increase in hot water usage will result in an increase in water heater operation.
Has your water heating tariff rate been increased by your gas retailer since your previous account?
