Plumbing Query- Hot water tank

As just posted on OPs other thread:

Therein lies the problem with running two threads at once on the same subject. On the "In My Home" Board we've been trying to encourage you to say what the problem is and its only by accident that I have discovered it here. There isn't any internal wiring in the Boilermate II. There are things that can go wrong with them such as the coil scaling up, or a sludge buildup or the feedpipe getting blocked but none of that is electrical and all are solvable without throwing the thing out.

Why should the sparky be an authority on whether or not your Boilermate needs replacing or not? He isn't.

If you have an electrical problem its external concentrate on that and stop worrying about replacing something that, at present, clearly presents no evidence that it does need replacing.

Kick BG into touch unless they can provide soimeone who does know about these things. Get yourself an independent heating engineer that knows about the electrics and the control system of your DHW/CH system. Relying on a sparks who clearly knows very little on that subject seems a tad back-to-front.

When I had problems with my Boilermate I found the above forum very helpful. Depending on where you live, you might find an engineer on their who could visit and give you a definite answer.
