What Are Heating and Hot Water Failure Claims?

A heating or hot water failure occurs when essential systems designed to provide warmth and hot water break down or fail to function properly. These issues can cause severe discomfort, property damage, and even health risks, particularly for vulnerable individuals such as children, the elderly, and those with medical conditions.

Common causes of heating and hot water failures include:

• Faulty Boilers or Heating Systems – Aging, poorly maintained, or improperly installed boilers and central heating systems can lead to complete system failures.
• Leaking or Damaged Pipes – Cracked or broken pipes can disrupt the supply of hot water or cause heating systems to malfunction.
• Lack of Proper Maintenance – Landlords and property managers are legally responsible for maintaining these systems. Failure to perform necessary inspections and repairs can result in preventable breakdowns.

Your Legal Rights as a Tenant or Homeowner

• Tenants: If your heating or hot water system fails, your landlord is legally required to fix it within a reasonable timeframe. If they fail to do so, you may be entitled to compensation for the discomfort, inconvenience, and any related expenses.
• Homeowners: If a faulty installation or defective heating system has caused damage to your property or financial loss, you may be able to file a claim against the installer, manufacturer, or service provider responsible for the issue.
