Serenity Now relies on bottled LPG for gas to the house.
If no hot water, first double check that the gas cooktop is also not lighting, if not working then go to Gas Bottles:
- Gas bottles are located RHS of house (side next to vacant block).
- Turn the hand wheel on top of the empty gas bottle OFF (clockwise).
- You then move the changeover valve lever (our one is copper) to point towards the other (full) gas bottle.
- Turn the hand wheel on top of the full gas bottle ON (anti-clockwise).
- Please let us know when you swap bottles so we can order a replacement.
