Bad smelling or bad looking water colour

Yup, it’s gross and not something to mess around with. Water colour and odor are key indicators of your hot water tanks overall health. Medic!

(not so) Radiant in floor heating

Nothing beats radiant in floor heating for efficiency and quality of heat - unless it’s not working. Don’t have cold feet about fixing the issue, your utility bills depend on taking quick action.

Pipes banging, knocking or creaking ?
