Default Water Heater Replacement Suggestion

Hi currently my home is installed with a 25l Ariston tank type water heater. When I on the switch, the switch light on but the water is not heated.

I guess the water heater is spoilt. Is there any recommendation for a replacement?

I need installing and removal service included.

Thanks.

I think electrician can repair. Maybe change the heating element.

I dunno. Can ask an electrician. It is not rocket science. I think heating element something like those for fish tank, just higher watts.

Replace back the same model can save on the cost of piping work.
I find 25L tank is alittle small. Cant really support if 2 person bath one after another.

If no space constraint, can consider Rheem water heater. Not ex and quite good.

The heating element is worth to replace if the tank itself is free from defect like leaking and rust, the heating element is not that expensive compared to change of heater and piping for the next model.
