Hi,
I recently moved into a new property with an immersion heater. When I left the switch on there was no hot water upstairs (maybe after am hour or so) but when I used the controls in the kitchen and set the hot water advance then the water started heating up however I've left this timer off for 3 days and the water upstairs is still hot.
So now I am confused...
1. Does leaving the switch on the immersion heater use too much energy and therefore do I manually have to turn it on when I need hot water.
2. Is the hot water advance required?
I am so used to combi boilers so any advice will be appreciated.
Thank you
