Worth checking first

A couple of things take thirty seconds to rule out

Before you call, it's worth quickly checking whether the pilot light is out (on older gas boilers) or whether a breaker has tripped on your electrical panel — sometimes the fix really is that simple. If neither applies, or you're not comfortable checking, don't worry about it — just tell us what you've noticed and we'll take it from there.

What we typically find

Common reasons hot water stops in Paris apartments

Pilot light or ignition fault

On gas boilers, a fault with the pilot light or ignition system is one of the most frequent causes of a total loss of hot water.

Thermostat or control fault

The boiler itself may be working fine while a faulty thermostat or control board is preventing it from heating water properly.

Pressure too low

Many boilers stop producing hot water, or throw an error, when internal pressure drops below the level they need to run.

An ageing water heater (ballon d'eau chaude)

Common in smaller flats — a standalone electric water heater rather than a boiler, which can fail independently of your heating.

What to expect

Diagnosis before repair, always

No hot water in a Paris apartment can mean anything from a five-minute reset to a part that needs ordering. The plumber will diagnose the issue on site and explain what's wrong before proposing a fix — if it's a bigger repair, you'll get a written quote rather than a surprise on the invoice.

Diagnosed properly

Boiler repairs that start with a real diagnosis

A multimeter and a proper look at the system beats guessing — the plumber checks what's actually wrong before touching anything.
