    Immersion heater noise

    I had a new water heater element fitted a few weeks ago that heats water at night on economy 7. Previous heater elements have been very quiet but I can hear the new one heating the tank at night. It sounds a bit like a boiling kettle. Is this normal? It’s driving me mad!

The noise internally can be heard from the stopcock and you can feel a bit of vibration in the pipe work around the stopcock. The dials on the water meter are dead still when there...
