Hoping for some advice please. A switch tripped a few days ago in my Consumer unit - only realised as my hot water boiler didn't seem to be working. I assume this may have been caused by the hallway light bulb blowing. I moved the switch back to the 'On' position. The problem I have is that my hot water boiler and my 2 storage heaters are no longer working. One of the storage heaters is fan assisted, and that function still works, as does the booster switch on the boiler, allowing me to still have some hot water. Everything else in the property works fine. Any ideas on what is causing this, and how it could be fixed? Thanks in advance for any advice.
 
You do realise the concept of storage heaters in that they won't heat up during the day.... also depends how you offpeak is controlled whether it be by your supplier or maybe you have a consumer owned timeclock. As above too many variations exist to be of real help here as you probably won't be able to supply us with the info we require.

At a guess your hot water and storage heaters are controlled by a timeclock on the consumer side and the tripped device may have messed up the clock times or lost them.... get a competent person in to assess, it is probably a quick fix at a guess.
