Maybe you are trying to fill up a warm relaxing bath, have a shower or prepare for washing up. But what are you going to do if your hot water isn’t working?

Your first thought may turn to call a professional plumber to help solve the issue. But, the truth is, you may not need to spend a penny solving this issue. What we want you to do is head to your boiler. This should be in a cupboard in your home, most likely in your kitchen or airing cupboard. Then you want to look at the panel and see what the error code is showing.

Once you have seen this, find your boilers manual. You should have a paper copy, but these can also be found online. Search for the error code and follow the steps on how to solve this issue. Generally, a flick of a switch will solve your issue, without you needing to spend a penny on a plumber.
