Common Boiler Repairs & Signs to Watch For
Understanding when your boiler needs attention can help prevent more serious problems down the line. Here are five common boiler repairs our plumbing and heating engineers regularly carry out in and around Cheltenham and Gloucester, and symptoms of each you should watch out for:
Low Boiler Pressure
- Sign: Your boiler might shut off unexpectedly or fail to heat your home properly. The pressure gauge will show below 1 bar.
- Solution: Our engineers will check for leaks in the system and restore the correct pressure levels.
Leaking Boiler
- Sign: Visible water around the boiler or drips from internal parts. This could be due to corroded pipes, a broken pump seal, or high boiler pressure.
- Solution: We’ll identify the source of the leak and carry out necessary repairs to prevent further damage.
Pilot Light Going Out
- Sign: The pilot light keeps going out, indicating potential issues with gas supply, the thermocouple, or air seals.
- Solution: We’ll inspect and repair the faulty parts and ensure your boiler is firing up safely and reliably.
No Hot Water or Heat
- Sign: The boiler is on, but there’s no hot water or heating. This could be caused by issues with the diverter valve, thermostat, or even the pilot light.
- Solution: We diagnose the faulty component and replace or repair it to restore your system.
Strange Noises
- Sign: Banging, whistling, or gurgling sounds from the boiler. This often signals air in the system, low water pressure, or a pump failure.
- Solution: We’ll bleed your radiators, check water pressure, and examine the boiler’s internal components to eliminate the noise.
