Your Guide to Boiler Repairs
Boiler issues are a complete nuisance, particularly through the Winter months. Our guide will walk you through common issues, how to fix them yourself and when to call in a professional.
Common faults include, but are not limited to;
Lack of Heat or Hot Water: It could be anything from low boiler pressure to a faulty thermostat.
Strange Noises: Knocking, banging, or gurgling sounds are abnormal and could indicate internal component issues. Contact a professional
Leaks: A leaky boiler is a safety hazard and can cause water damage. Shut off the boiler immediately and call a professional.
Error Codes: Most boilers have a display that shows error codes. While deciphering them can be tricky, these codes can help diagnose the problem.
