[QUOTE="Manator, post: 417221, member: 9561"] Hi Dawn and welcome to the forum. It does sound like a lot of work has been done to attain more money. If we take the symptom (no hot water) an electrician would take roughly half an hour to diagnose what the problem would be. Simple test methods done properly would find the problem and therefore provide a guide for fixing. The main reasons why your mother would not have hot water is no power (timer malfunction), power but no output, heater element malfunction or thermostat problems. All of these faults are easily identifiable. The leak could have been caused by the attending electrician, but could never be proved. Replacing a water heater of this type is a plumbers job and not an electrician, it sounds to myself that no proper testing was carried out, and he was doing work that is not covered by his trade.I would strongly advise you to get proper help and do not allow your mother to deal with this person direct without you being there.
