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 bill is higher than expected, we suggest you check the following points:
•
Is the relief valve running excessively?
“Temperature Pressure Relief Valve or Expansion Control
on page 19.
•
Are outlets (especially the showers) using more hot water than you
think?
on page 18.
•
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 bill?
IF YOU HAVE CHECKED ALL THE FOREGOING AND STILL BELIEVE YOU NEED ASSISTANCE, PHONE
RHEEM SERVICE OR THEIR NEAREST ACCREDITED SERVICE AGENT.
