    Immersion Heater sounds like a kettle

    Afternoon all, and thanks in advance for your help. About 2 years ago, the immersion heater in our hot water cylinder broke so we had it replaced. Now I can't remember 100% but I'm sure that before the change, when we put the immersion on it didn't make much noise. Since the change, as soon...

    immersion heater running cost

    Hi all Is it cheaper to leave an immersion heater constantly on or switch on to heat when needed? I would say its cheaper to leave it on rather than heat from cold, but a bloke at work reckons its cheaper to use as needed or on a timer. Thanks in advance
