How do you diagnose a boiler problem?

I’m sure we don’t have to tell you the importance of ensuring your boiler is maintained and in full working order.

Especially in cold temperatures, where the boiler will be in constant use.

A little bit of maintenance carried out in early Autumn will save you money as well as possible, your life.

Boilers that are not well looked after or not maintained can become faulty and dangerous. This is because faulty boilers can be fatal.

Plus, a boiler that is well looked after will work harder for your house – saving you money and helping you become more efficient.

Spotting a problem

If you have any concerns about your boiler it is of the utmost importance that you call on a professional immediately.

Common boiler problems:

  • No hot water or heat
  • Leaks
  • Pilot light goes out
  • Low boiler pressure
  • Frozen condensate pipe
  • Thermostat issues
