Flexible connections under the sink or basin. Taps dripping from the spindle or cartridge. Stopcocks leaking from the gland. Downpipes leaking at the joints. Meters leaking from the valve itself. Boilers and heaters with internal leaks. And poorly insulated communal tanks. Yes, this is one of our primary client profiles. Communication via email and WhatsApp, before-and-after photos, and digital invoicing.

If it's more than eight years old, in hard water areas, the appliance is at the end of its useful life. Even if the current fault can be repaired, the next one will arise in one or two years. It's more cost-effective to replace it and start fresh with a new unit and maintenance from the beginning. Water takes longer to heat than in its first year. It runs hotter initially, then cools quickly. You notice abnormally high electricity consumption on your bill. There are kettle-like noises, indicating bubbling at the bottom of the tank due to sediment. The water runs slightly cloudy for the first few seconds. Any of these symptoms warrants an inspection. Hardly anyone knows it exists, but it's the part that adds the most lifespan to a water heater. It's a magnesium rod inside the tank that attracts corrosion away from the tank walls. It slowly depletes over time. Once fully depleted, corrosion starts to eat away at the tank, and from then on, every year counts. We replace it every four or five years in hard water areas. Reasonable cost and easily prolongs the appliance's life by ten more years.

Oversizing penalises the electricity bill because the appliance spends more on keeping a volume hot that you never use. Undersizing leads to cold showers at the end of the family's morning rush. We calculate needs before proposing a model. 30 days on labour and the manufacturer's official warranty on the installed appliance. The water in the Costa Blanca has an average hardness of 30-40 French degrees. This means that a standard electric water heater of any brand, installed without special care, lasts five to eight years before starting to give serious problems. Compared to an identical heater installed in soft water areas like Galicia or northern Catalonia, where it lasts twelve to fifteen years without issues, the difference is brutal and ultimately impacts your wallet.

The price for a water heater in Santa Eulàlia typically ranges between €59 and €420. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. For holiday apartments or small properties without a gas connection, an electric water heater is the only reasonable option. For detached houses or homes with natural gas available, the choice between a larger capacity electric heater and a combi gas boiler depends on family consumption and the current price of gas versus electricity. If the leak reappears at the same spot within 30 days, we return at no extra cost.
