Some signs that you may need a boiler repair!

To help you avoid expensive repairs, Boiler Repair Services Gloucester wish to share some common symptoms that may suggest that your boiler and/or heating system may be in need of repair.

 

Banging and loud noises

 

If you notice any noises out of the ordinary coming from your boiler or system, in particular banging sounds whilst your boiler is in operation, this can indicate there is a problem with your boiler or aspects of your heating system. Ignoring the problem is not going to make the issue go away, more then likely if left it will get worse!

 

Utility bill Increases

 

A sharp rise in fuel costs with no other known cause may sometimes reveal an issue with the boiler, especially if there has been no increases in fuel costs. Sometimes the issue is not a fault with the appliance or a component as a poorly calibrated/maintained appliance can become inefficient. To a professional company like Boiler Repair Services Gloucester this is easily correctable.

 

Radiators fail to heat up fully

 

Cold spots, radiators that fail to heat up full and radiators that do not work all together are signs that there are issues with your system and possibly with the boiler. Often faults like this will be caused by a flow issue, this is usually caused by restrictions, design and/or a component failure.

 

Issues with the hot water

 

Hot water that fails to heat to temperature, fluctuates whilst in use and/or runs cold quickly are signs that there are issues with your system or boiler. Big issues start out as small problems, do not ignore the fault no matter how small it may seem! By dealing with the issue before it gets worse the likelihood is that it will save you money!

 

System pressure unstable or regularly requires topping up

 

This is a common fault that when ignored can cause a whole host of problems! If you have a boiler/system with a pressure gauge and it is rising towards 3 bar whilst the boiler (in particular the heating) is in use and/or you are losing system pressure on a regular basis, you have an issue with your system somewhere. Monthly pressure loss could be difficult to find, however no system should be losing pressure this frequently, a system should only need topping up every 3-18 months (dependent on the quality of the system and other factors) anything less than this will indicate a problem somewhere. Pressure loss that is occurring weekly or less needs immediate attention to help avoid more serious complications.
