Boiler Repair in Hampshire: Common Boiler Problems and When to Call an Engineer
A boiler problem can quickly turn into a major inconvenience, particularly during the colder months. Whether your heating has stopped working, your hot water isn’t getting hot enough or your boiler keeps losing pressure, it’s important to identify the problem and have it dealt with by a suitably qualified professional.
At Will Stone Gas Plumbing & Heating Ltd, we provide professional gas and heating services for customers across Hampshire and Dorset.
Boilers can experience a range of faults. Some of the most common include:
BOILER KEEPS LOSING PRESSURE
If your boiler pressure repeatedly drops, there may be a leak somewhere in the heating system, an issue with the pressure relief system or another underlying fault.
While you may be able to repressurise the system according to the manufacturer’s instructions, repeated pressure loss should be investigated rather than continually topped up.
NO HOT WATER
If your heating works but you’re not getting hot water, the problem could be related to controls, valves, the hot water cylinder or another component depending on your heating system.
RADIATORS AREN’T HEATING PROPERLY
Cold radiators can sometimes be caused by trapped air, but there can also be problems with balancing, valves or deposits within the heating system.
STRANGE NOISES
Banging, kettling, whistling or gurgling noises can indicate that something isn’t operating correctly.
Unusual noises shouldn’t simply be ignored, particularly if they are new or getting worse.
BOILER KEEPS SWITCHING OFF
A boiler that repeatedly shuts down can have several possible causes. The display may show an error code, which can provide useful information to an engineer.
Don’t ignore boiler problems
A boiler doesn’t necessarily need to be replaced simply because it has developed a fault. In some cases, a repair may be all that’s required.
However, older boilers with repeated faults may eventually become less economical to repair. A qualified heating professional can assess the system and explain the available options.
