Signs Your Boiler Needs Servicing

Strange Noises

Is your boiler making strange banging, whistling, or gurgling noises? These unusual sounds could indicate underlying issues such as trapped air, limescale buildup, or a malfunctioning component. Ignoring these noises can lead to further damage and decreased efficiency.

Unusual Smells

Do you detect any unusual odours coming from your boiler? A foul smell, especially one resembling rotten eggs, could indicate a gas leak, which poses a serious safety hazard. Other smells, such as burning or musty odours, may suggest overheating or mould growth within the boiler.

Fluctuating Water Pressure

Have you noticed fluctuations in your boiler's water pressure? Low water pressure can result in reduced heating performance, while high pressure may indicate a faulty pressure relief valve. Monitoring and maintaining the correct water pressure is crucial for optimal boiler operation.

Leaking or Dripping

Do you see any water leaking or dripping from your boiler? Even minor leaks can escalate into major issues if left unattended. Leaks can stem from damaged seals, corroded pipes, or pressure valve issues. Addressing leaks promptly can prevent water damage and costly repairs.

Slow Heating

Is your boiler taking longer than usual to heat your home? A decline in heating performance could indicate various issues, such as a malfunctioning thermostat, pump failure, or sludge buildup in the system. Prompt servicing can restore your boiler's efficiency and comfort levels.

Frequent Cycling

Does your boiler cycle on and off frequently? This short cycling behaviour not only wastes energy but also puts unnecessary strain on the system. Causes of frequent cycling include thermostat issues, airlocks, or improper boiler sizing. Servicing can resolve these issues and improve energy efficiency.

Pilot Light Issues

Is your boiler's pilot light frequently going out or burning a different colour? A yellow or orange flame instead of a steady blue one may indicate a carbon monoxide leak or insufficient airflow. It's essential to address pilot light issues immediately to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning and ensure safe operation.

Cold Radiators

Are some of your radiators not heating up properly? Cold spots or inconsistent heating across radiators often indicate circulation problems within the boiler system. This issue may stem from airlocks, sludge buildup, or pump failure, requiring professional servicing to restore proper circulation.

Water Quality Checks for Your Boiler Service

The introduction of new British Standards has made it mandatory to test water quality when carrying out a boiler service. This new regulation aims to ensure that the water running through your central heating system is safe, efficient, and clean. The inspection will assess the quality of the water, including its chemical balance, pH level, and the presence of any debris or contaminants that may negatively impact the central heating system's efficiency.

Over time, debris and other contaminants can build up within the central heating system, causing significant problems for the system and the boiler. For example, the accumulation of debris can cause blockages and reduce the flow of water through the pipes, reducing the heating system's overall efficiency. When your heating system isn't running efficiently, your boiler will need to work harder to heat your home, increasing the likelihood of a breakdown and reducing the lifespan of the boiler.

By carrying out system water quality checks as part of your boiler service, our team of experts can help identify any issues with the central heating system that may lead to costly repairs or replacements. In addition, this inspection will enable us to detect and remove any debris or contaminants that may be impacting the system's efficiency and performance, ensuring that your boiler runs smoothly and your heating system operates at peak efficiency.
