Boilers are reliable heating systems, but they can develop issues over time. Some of the most common problems we can address include:
- Low Water Levels – A drop in water levels can cause your boiler to stop working efficiently.
- Leaking Pipes or Boiler Unit – Water leaks can damage your system and increase energy bills.
- Malfunctioning Pilot Light – If the pilot light doesn't stay lit, your boiler won’t produce heat.
- Broken Thermostat – A faulty thermostat can prevent your home from reaching the desired temperature.
- Pump Failure – Without a working pump, hot water can’t circulate properly.
How to Maintain Your Boiler
Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your boiler and prevent costly breakdowns. Here are a few maintenance tips:
- Check for Leaks & Strange Noises Weekly – Catching small issues early can prevent major repairs.
- Monitor Temperature & Pressure Readings – Ensuring proper levels keeps your boiler running smoothly.
- Schedule Annual Professional Inspections – A licensed plumber can perform a full system check and tune-up.
- Test the Boiler Before Winter – Running your boiler in the fall helps ensure it's ready for colder months.
