Faulty Heating and Electrics In The Home

No heating in winter. Flickering lights. Faulty wiring. Broken boilers. If you’re living with faulty heating or electrical systems, it’s more than just a hassle; it can be dangerous. If your landlord has failed to fix these issues, Marley Solicitors can help you take legal action and claim the compensation you deserve.

Heating and electrical faults are serious

Everyone has the right to live in a warm, safe, and functional home. When your heating or electrics aren’t working, it can affect your physical and mental health, reduce your quality of life, and even pose serious safety risks, such as:

• Hypothermia or illness from lack of heating
• Carbon monoxide exposure from unsafe boilers
• Electrical shocks or fires from exposed or faulty wiring
• Unusable appliances due to broken sockets or circuits
• Increased stress and disruption to daily life

Your landlord has a legal duty to fix these issues promptly, especially when they put your safety at risk.

What your landlord is responsible for

Landlords are legally required to ensure your home is safe and in good repair. This includes:

• Maintaining central heating and hot water systems
• Repairing or replacing broken radiators, boilers, and thermostats
• Fixing faulty wiring, light fittings, and plug sockets
• Making sure the electrical system meets safety standards
• Responding quickly when heating or electric faults are reported

If you’ve told your landlord about these problems and they’ve failed to act, you may be eligible to make a housing disrepair claim.
