If it runs on electric then it will have a separate fused switch somewhere. From memory, 1994/95 is about when they started fitting electric water heaters, so you could be one of the last without or the first with it fitted.

If you can't find a switch something like the one below somewhere then it looks like it's gas only.

There is a switch on the side of the wardrobe - I don't know if it's separately fused anywhere ot not..... my OH says he'll have a proper look at the tank (he hasn't been very well) to see if he can suss out the wiring...  this is doing my head in   !

The switch has no flame symbol or anything on it. I assumed it would be powered by leccy... never thought about it properly - daft of me really.

Dammit - I only just saw that pic LDKO !  The carver switch looks nothing like that (that one looks much like a standard immersion heater one doesn't it ) so I suppose ours is just gas - bu##er !!!

I guess that probably explains why it didn't heat up as the gas wasn't switched on ! Pmsl

Thanks !

Carver introduced the 'option' of mains electric water heating in 90/91, electric room heating in 95, so being optional, all depends if it's actually fitted?.

As far as water is concerned, if it has, you will find a white plastic box sticking out of the insulation jacket of the water tank. If this is there? then you will also find a cable leading to the control switch similar to the one in legsdown's picture
