Heater or plumbing
When the fault isthe heater.
Before you call, these signs tell you whether the fault sits in the heater itself or out in the pipework.
01
Cold at every tap
If the hot water goes at all the bathrooms and the kitchen together, one thing feeds them all and that is the central heater. One cold bathroom with the rest still hot is a mixer or a branch, not the cylinder.
02
The breaker keeps tripping
A breaker that drops every time the heater switches on is not a house wiring fault. The element sheath has failed and is letting current into the water, so the answer is a new element, not pushing the switch back up.
03
It runs out early
The cylinder gives less hot water than it used to before it turns cold. Scale settles out of Kuwaiti water and builds on the tank floor, taking up volume inside it, so the usable draw is smaller than the tank was built for.
04
Water under the heater
Water on the floor under a heater is either a pipe joint or the body of the cylinder itself. A joint is remade. A weep from the tank body means the steel has gone through and the heater is replaced, not repaired.
This area
What setsthis area apart
Anjafa's apartment blocks are relatively modern, with most heaters running on gas from the building's main line. Medium and large flats may have one central heater or two depending on the number of bathrooms. The heater usually sits on the roof or hangs from the kitchen's exterior wall, easily reached from the building's back side. The burner and cylinder need regular checks because heavy use in residential blocks causes sediment buildup faster.
Anjafa sits in Hawalli governorate, a residential area of medium-rise apartment blocks with active services.
Heaters in Anjafa apartment blocks run on the building's central gas line with safe connections.

The method
From the call tohot water.
The same order on any heater, whether the job turns out to be a repair, a flush or a new fit.
You describe it on the call
Tell us whether the heater is stone cold or just weak, when it changed, and whether the breaker drops. Those three answers decide between an element, a thermostat and a flush.
We isolate power and water
The heater breaker goes off and the cold feed valve is closed before anything is opened. No cover comes off a live element and no thermostat is touched while the cylinder is under pressure.
We test before we swap
We read the element and thermostat terminals and look at the state of the tank inside, then tell you exactly what has failed before any part is changed.
We refill, vent and test
The cylinder is filled and the air bled off at the highest hot tap before the power goes back on, then we run a hot tap in front of you and watch it hold its temperature.
Common questions

At least twice yearly, once before winter and once before summer. Servicing includes cleaning the burner and full checks of the cylinder and joints.
We check the gas first to see if the line is open. Then we inspect the thermostat, burner and cylinder. Most faults are simple but we need to enter and diagnose from inside before you call.
