NO HOT WATER FOR 10 YEARS?! 🀯🚿

I’ve seen some bad installs in my time, but this one takes the cake. Since 2012, these homeowners haven't had reliable hot water. After a decade of failed repairs, it turns out the whole system was fundamentally flawed from day one.

I’ve just finished ripping it out and replacing it with a fresh Baxi & Joule Cyclone setup to finally give them the hot water they’ve been waiting a decade for.

The full reveal and the 'Aha!' moment are live tonight at 6! πŸ‘‡πŸ½

POLL: What’s the longest you’ve ever seen a fault go ignored?
πŸ”˜ 1-2 Years β€” Long enough! πŸ—“οΈ
πŸ”˜ 5 Years β€” A proper nightmare 😀
πŸ”˜ 10+ Years β€” Impossible, but true! 🀯
