- Your Boiler Is Leaking Or Dripping
- Strange Noises Coming From Your Boiler

- Issues With The Thermostat
1. No Hot Water – Essentially, your boiler is not doing its job when this occurs, and there are a handful of probable causes.
- An airlock or diaphragm is degraded.
- There is a low level of water.
- There may be some thing not right with the thermostat.
- One of the motorised valves has broken.
The easiest and first things for you to check out are the thermostat and the boilers water pressure. If it’s any one of these issues then simply follow the boiler manufacturers procedures for fixing these problems. If it’s not any of the problems above then you should speak to a qualified and Gas Safer registered boiler engineer to look into the issue safely.
2. Your Boiler Is Dripping Or Leaking
Leaks and drips are an obvious symptom of a potentially even more serious issue, however, unless you’re trained to do so you shouldn’t have a go at to identify the issue by yourself. A number of the causes for the boiler to be having drips or leaks are going to require an authorised boiler engineer to deal with them. Drips and leaks are frequently caused by a broken pump seal or pressure valve. When it’s fixed, you may need to lower your boiler’s pressure, the boiler engineer will be able to advise you on this.
3. Strange Noises Coming From Your Boiler
Maybe one of the most noticeable of all boiler problems is whenever your boiler begins to generate peculiar noises, like banging or gurgling. It’s probable that air is trapped inside of the heating system is the problem, however, it can also be due to low water pressure. However, the issue can also be a lot more serious, such as the boiler nearing the end of its life and you need to have a brand-new boiler fitted.
4. Pilot Light Is Not Lit
The solution for an extinguished pilot light is very easy, just relight it. However, before trying that you should check out the heating system to determine if there’s an even more dangerous problem first. Issues you may spot include:
- A close by draught extinguishing the pilot light.
- Build up close to or around the {pilot}light that puts it out.
- The source of the gas might be prevented by a thermocouple that needs repair.
If you do notice something that you think could be a problem then you should get in touch with your local heating engineer to look into and if called for repair before you try to relight the pilot light.
5. Low Pressure Boiler
A loss of pressure in your boiler could be an indicator of a problem with your heating system itself. You can easily check out the pressure of the boiler by taking a look at the pressure gauge and checking that it’s more than 1. If it’s not, then there’s a problem somewhere inside of your heating system which really needs to be investigated by an authorised heating engineer.
6. Issues With The Thermostat
An unreliable thermostat might cause numerous issues, so it’s essential to establish a routine routine (at least once a quarter) to ensure that your thermostat is functioning as intended. It’s a simple test. You simply begin by making sure the thermostat is in the proper position and has the correct setting and that your boiler switches off if you decrease the temperature level and then back on again if you raise the temperature level.
