No hot water in Edinburgh
How to get an accurate quote in Edinburgh
Short answer: Losing hot water at one tap and losing it everywhere point to different causes. Many Edinburgh flats run on combi boilers, but older properties may still have a cylinder in a cupboard and a tank in the roof space. Say which you have, if you know, and whether the heating still works.
