When your boiler breaks, the first step is to contact a qualified heating or plumbing firm. But how can you tell whether it's a true emergency or something you can fix?
Deliberately designed to avoid emergency calls or DIY fixes, we've compiled a list of the most prevalent boiler difficulties.
Wirral Boiler Repairs
Beyond bleding radiators and boosting boiler pressure, most boiler issues need the assistance of a qualified heating specialist. Following are the most typical concerns we see in Wirral.
There Is No Heating
This problem is more common with combi boilers. If you have hot water but no heating, contact a Gas Safe licenced heating professional. Most likely, a portion of the boiler has cracked or failed.
Most hot water but no heating is caused by a broken diaphragm, bad airlock, or malfunctioning motorised valve. But it might be a broad range of concerns, so bring in the pros.
Leaky Boiler
A boiler should never leak. If you notice a leak in your boiler, turn off the water and contact a heating specialist.
Again, damaged or broken components frequently cause leakage. The pressure valve or pump seal may be worn out and need to be replaced. If you see water flowing from one of your boiler pipes, it is probably deteriorated and requires replacement.
In some circumstances, it's just an issue of having too much boiler pressure, so verify your existing settings against the manufacturer's guidelines.
No Heat or Hot Water
The last thing you want in a Wirral winter is to lose your heating or hot water, yet it happens to many homes every year.
This might happen for several reasons, including but not limited to:
Supply problems
Pilot light out
Gas shortages
Drizzle pipe frost
A/C problems
The issue can only be diagnosed by a Gas Safe Registered heating engineer. That's why you need a frequent boiler service schedule to keep your boiler functioning at peak efficiency.
