HIGHER THAN EXPECTED ELECTRICITY BILLS
Should you at any time, feel your electricity bill is higher than expected, we
suggest you check the following points:
•
Is the relief valve running excessively?
"Temperature Pressure Relief
Refer to
Valve or Expansion Control Valve
Running"
on page 24.
•
Is one outlet (especially the shower)
using more hot water than you think?
"Not Enough Hot Water (or No
Refer to
Hot Water)"
on page 23.
•
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 electricity.
Replace faulty tap washers, and have a
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 electricity retailer
since your previous bill?
ELECTRICITY TARIFFS
The electricity tariff to which your water heater is connected will determine the
overall operating cost of the system. It is important you are aware of this tariff,
i.e. Off-Peak (overnight) or time controlled supply, Extended Off-Peak (overnight
and day) or Extended time controlled supply, Domestic / Continuous. For types
"Single Element Model"
of tariffs, refer to
on page 14.
IF YOU HAVE CHECKED ALL THE FOREGOING AND STILL BELIEVE YOU
NEED ASSISTANCE, PHONE RHEEM SERVICE OR THEIR NEAREST
ACCREDITED SERVICE AGENT.
