Heating problems can be incredibly troublesome. If the culprit behind the issue is your boiler, then it's a clear sign that you should reach out to a Gas Safe-registered heating engineer. Boiler repair should always be left in the hands of experts. These professionals possess the necessary experience, training, and expertise in boiler installation, servicing, and repair, enabling them to thoroughly inspect and diagnose any problems before providing the most suitable solution.
When to call a boiler repair professional:
- Radiators are not heating up – When a radiator fails to heat up, it can be due to faulty radiator valves, trapped air, or dirty water accumulated in the system. Avoid troubleshooting the appliance yourself and call an expert.
- Low boiler pressure – Is your boiler often switching off by itself or often losing pressure? This could mean that there’s a leak in the automatic air vent or central heating system. Additionally, it could be a failing expansion vessel or a damaged pressure relief valve. In any case, call a Gas Safe engineer for a boiler repairservice to properly address the issue.
- Flashing lights – If you notice flashing lights on the boiler, there could be something wrong with its circuitry and electrics. A heating engineer will use a multimeter to find the issue and replace the malfunctioning component. Additionally, flashing lights could indicate a stuck fan, a faulty circuit board, or worn-out pumps.
- No hot water – If your boiler fails to provide hot water, the reason could be any of the issues mentioned above, or there could be a blockage inside. In this case, the heating engineer will conduct boiler repairby replacing the heat exchangers. Plus, they will conduct tests to ensure your taps can supply hot water again.
- Other common boiler problems – Your boiler might need repair if it is not as energy efficient as before or due for annual servicing. No matter the reason, a Gas Safe-registered engineer can recommend steps to make it energy efficient and provide servicing reminders, so you can keep it in good condition.
