Boilers are essential everyday appliances providing heat and hot water to homes and businesses. However, like any machine, Boilers can develop issues that need attention. Here are a few typical Boiler issues we encounter and solve regularly.
Noises Coming From The Boiler
One of the most common issues homeowners encounter with their Boilers is unusual noises. These can range from whistling to banging or gurgling sounds. These noises often indicate underlying problems that must be addressed promptly to prevent breakdown and potentially even damage to your Boiler. There are several causes of noisy Boilers:
Limescale & Debris
Central heating systems often accumulate limescale and debris over time. When these materials build up in the heat exchanger, they can cause a phenomenon known as ‘kettling,’ where the trapped limescale heats up and creates a whistling noise. This is similar to a kettle’s sound when it boils, hence the name. Descaling the heat exchanger will remove limescale buildup.
Air In The System
Air trapped in the Boiler or the heating system can cause gurgling noises. This is often resolved by bleeding the radiators to remove the air pockets.
Low Water Pressure
Boilers require a certain level of water pressure to function correctly. If the pressure is too low, it can cause banging noises due to water hammering in the pipes. Checking and adjusting the water pressure often resolves this issue
Worn-Out Parts
Components such as pumps and fans within the Boiler can wear out over time, leading to rattling or vibrating noises. Identifying and replacing worn-out parts usually restores smooth operation.
Blown Fuse
Sometimes, a blown fuse in the Boiler’s electrical switch can prevent it from starting. Replacing the fuse is a quick fix that can restore the Boiler to working order. We can quickly replace blown fuses to get your Boiler up and running again.
Frozen Condensate Pipe
In freezing temperatures, the condensate pipe that removes excess water from the Boiler can freeze, leading to a blockage. This blockage prevents the Boiler from starting and running. We defrost the pipe and apply proper insulation to prevent future freezing for frozen condensate pipes.
Faulty Thermostat
A faulty thermostat can prevent the Boiler from turning on. Thermostats can wear out over time or become miscalibrated, requiring replacement. Installing a new thermostat is a straightforward process that ensures accurate temperature control and Boiler operation.
Pump Issues
The pump in your Boiler circulates hot water from the Boiler to the radiators and back. When the pump fails or malfunctions, it can impact the performance of your heating system.
Our engineers are well-equipped to diagnose and fix pump-related problems. If the pump is beyond repair, we can replace it with a new one to restore proper circulation. For minor leaks, replacing the seals will suffice.
Faulty Thermocouples
The thermocouple is an important safety device in your Boiler that detects whether the pilot light is lit. If the pilot light goes out, the thermocouple shuts off the gas supply to prevent a gas leak. A faulty thermocouple can cause your Boiler to shut down unexpectedly, even if there’s no real danger. Replacing a faulty thermocouple is a relatively quick and straightforward process that our engineers can handle efficiently. We will also inspect the pilot light and related components to ensure no additional issues are causing the problem.
Low Pressure
A Boiler requires the correct pressure to function properly. If the pressure is too low, it can prevent the Boiler from operating efficiently. Identifying and fixing leaks in the system can restore pressure. Our engineers will adjust the Boiler pressure to the correct level. Replacing a faulty pressure relief valve may be necessary to restore proper pressure regulation.
Leaking
Leaks can occur in various areas of the Boiler, leading to water damage and efficiency loss. Replacing corroded pipes or the tank can stop leaks. Ensuring all joints and seals are secure can prevent leaks. Replacing worn-out seals may be necessary to resolve leaking issues.
Faulty Circulation
Efficient circulation of hot water is vital for a heating system. Circulation issues can lead to uneven heating and Boiler inefficiency. Debris or sludge can block the pipes, hindering water flow. Cleansing the pipes with a chemical or power flush can remove blockages and improve circulation. As mentioned earlier, a faulty pump can disrupt circulation. Air trapped in the pipes can also prevent proper water flow. Bleeding the system can remove airlocks, restoring efficient circulation.
Ignition Issues
Modern boilers use electronic ignition systems to start. Problems with the ignition can prevent the Boiler from operating. Repairing or replacing faulty components within the ignition system can resolve these issues. Sometimes, there’s an issue with the gas supply itself, starving the Boiler of gas so it won’t run.
