Common signs your boiler needs repair

Unusual Noises

Boilers often make a soft humming sound while operating, but unusual noises like banging, whistling, or gurgling can indicate underlying issues. We can swiftly diagnose and address these sounds, which often stem from air in the system, low water pressure, or lime scale buildup.

Water Leaks

Any sign of water around your boiler is a clear call for immediate professional attention. Leaks can lead to significant damage and are typically caused by a failure of internal components. We’re adept at identifying the source of the leak and fixing it to prevent further damage and inefficiency.

Inconsistent Heating

If your radiators are cold or your hot water isn’t as warm as it should be, your boiler might be struggling. This can be due to various reasons, including issues with the thermostat, valves, or circulation problems. Our team ensures your system’s optimal performance, making sure you stay warm without interruption.

Increased Energy Bills

An unexpected rise in your energy bills can sometimes be traced back to an inefficient boiler. Older or malfunctioning boilers can consume more power to provide the same level of heat, indicating it’s time for a repair or adjustment.

Types of boilers we repair

Combi boilers

We are well-versed in repairing combi boilers, which provide both heating and hot water without the need for a separate water tank. Our expertise ensures efficient handling of common combi boiler issues, from ignition problems to water pressure fluctuations.

System boilers

Our skilled technicians are adept at servicing system boilers, which work with a cylinder to store hot water. We tackle everything from pump failures to thermostat issues, ensuring your system boiler operates smoothly.

Conventional boilers

Also known as regular boilers, these systems require both a cylinder and a water tank. We can efficiently address challenges like pilot light outages, kettling, and more, maintaining the reliability and effectiveness of your conventional boiler.

Maintenance Tips to Avoid Future Boiler Repairs

Regular Servicing

One of the best ways to avoid unexpected boiler repairs is to have your boiler serviced annually. We provide comprehensive servicing that includes checking all components, cleaning the system, and making adjustments to ensure optimal performance. This not only extends the life of your boiler but also maintains its efficiency and safety.

Check Pressure Regularly

Keeping an eye on your boiler’s pressure gauge is crucial. The pressure should generally be between 1 and 1.5 bar. If it’s too high or too low, it could indicate a problem that might need addressing to avoid further issues. We can guide you on how to check and adjust the pressure or do it for you during our visits.

Bleed Radiators

Air trapped in your radiators can prevent them from heating properly. Bleeding your radiators regularly helps remove this air, allowing hot water to circulate effectively. This simple maintenance task can improve efficiency and reduce strain on your boiler.

Clear the Area Around Your Boiler

Ensure that the area around your boiler is clear of clutter. Good airflow is essential for optimal boiler operation. Keeping the area clear also allows for easier access during inspections or repairs.
