Will a Service Fix My Boiler?
In some cases a boiler service will resolve a few issues that can come from a lack of routine maintenance, particularly pressure loss issues.
But if a boiler is broken down completely or is not working correctly then it’s usually a case that the boiler will need to be repaired before a service can be completed.
In this blog post we will explore the types of issues it can resolve, and why timely repairs are crucial for a well-functioning heating and hot water system.
Common Issues Addressed by a Boiler Service
- Pressure Loss: Low pressure can result from leaks, bleeding radiators, or a faulty pressure relief valve. A service can identify and rectify these issues.
- Inefficiency: Dust and debris accumulation can reduce boiler efficiency. Cleaning these components during a service can restore the system's efficiency.
- Strange Noises: Banging, whistling, or gurgling noises can indicate trapped air, low water pressure, or a failing pump. Our plumbers and engineers can diagnose and resolve these sounds during a service.
When Repairs Are Necessary Before Servicing
However, not all boiler issues can be resolved through routine maintenance alone. In cases where the boiler is completely broken down or not functioning correctly, repairs must be prioritised before a service can be carried out. Here are some scenarios where repairs are necessary:
- Complete Breakdown: If the boiler has stopped working entirely, identifying and fixing the root cause of the breakdown is essential before any maintenance can be performed.
- Severe Leaks: Significant water leaks can cause substantial damage and must be repaired immediately to prevent further issues and allow for a thorough service.
- Faulty Components: Broken parts, such as a malfunctioning pump or a faulty heat exchanger, need to be replaced to restore the boiler's functionality.
- Safety Concerns: If there are any safety issues, such as gas leaks or faulty safety valves, these must be addressed to ensure the boiler can be safely serviced.
