Your boiler keeps cutting out, your water heater’s cold, or your oven’s cooking like a freezer? Chances are, your thermostat’s playing up. It’s a common headache, but most fixes are quick and cheap—no need to panic. We’ll show you how to spot the problem and handle it before it turns into a full-blown emergency.
Thermostats fail for boring reasons—dust on the sensor, loose wires, or just old age. If your water heater’s reset button trips every few hours or your boiler cycles on and off like a strobe light, it’s almost always the thermostat. You don’t need a degree in engineering to figure this out. It’s usually a 10-minute fix.
Start simple: unplug your appliance for 5 minutes, then plug it back in. For boilers, press the reset button near the thermostat. If that doesn’t work, wipe the thermostat sensor with a dry cloth—dust is the silent killer here. If your oven’s temperature’s off, try resetting it (most have a hidden button behind the control panel). These steps fix 80% of thermostat issues. If it’s still acting up? We’re here to help.
Ignoring a faulty thermostat isn’t just annoying—it’s costly. A broken water heater thermostat makes your unit work harder, wasting gas and raising bills. A boiler thermostat gone rogue can leave you shivering. But here’s the good news: replacing a thermostat costs way less than buying a new appliance. Most repairs run under £100, and we do them fast in Taunton.
Don’t waste time guessing. If you’ve tried resetting and cleaning and it’s still broken, call us. We’ve fixed hundreds of faulty thermostats in Taunton homes—from ovens to boilers—and we’ll get your appliances running right without breaking the bank. No jargon, no stress, just real fixes.
