Common Issues We See On Service Calls
Like any mechanical system, boilers are prone to certain common issues. Understanding these problems can help with early detection and prevention of more significant complications. Here are some of the most frequently boiler problems we encounter:
No Heat or Hot Water:
This is the most direct and noticeable boiler problem. Potential causes could include broken diaphragms and airlocks, failure of motorized valves, issues with the thermostat, or low water levels.
Leaks and Drips:
Leaking water from a boiler indicates an internal component failure, such as a pressure valve or pump seal. If the leak is coming from the pressure valve, it might be due to high boiler pressure. Our technician will be able to pinpoint the failure point as well as what may have caused it.
Strange Noises:
Sounds like whistling, gurgling, or banging, often referred to as ‘kittling’, can be caused by air in the system, a faulty pump, low water pressure, or limescale accumulation on the boiler’s heat exchanger.
Pilot Light Goes Out:
The pilot light could go out due to a broken thermocouple, deposits of soot blocking the gas supply, or a draught blowing the light out.
Low Boiler Pressure:
If the boiler pressure is too low, it may not function properly. This can be caused by water leaks, a faulty pressure relief valve, or recently bled radiators. A technician will be able to address all of these issues.
Frozen Condensate Pipe:
Modern boilers feature a condensate pipe that disposes of acidic water away from the boiler. During extremely cold weather, this pipe can freeze, causing blockages and leading to boiler failure.
Thermostat Issues:
Over time, thermostats can become inaccurate or lose their efficiency, resulting in irregular or no heating and hot water.
Radiators Not Heating Up:
If radiators are not heating up or only warming up partially, it could be due to sludge or air build-up in the system. This issue can often be resolved by bleeding the radiators or flushing the system. Our technicians will be able to properly fix this issue.
Boiler Keeps Switching Off:
This could be caused by several issues, such as low water pressure, a blocked condensate pipe, air in the system, or a faulty thermostat. Further diagnosis would be necessary to pin-point the cause.
Regular maintenance by a qualified technician is the best way to ensure the longevity and efficiency of a boiler system, reducing the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.
