Few Factors to Consider In Choosing a Boiler Repair Company

by Sara James Easyday

Just like any other appliances, boilers also require repairs or may even need to be replaced. You should not neglect the maintenance of a boiler, especially if it has been in service for the past many years. Get a professional to do a general checkup and see if any issue needs to be repaired. But do not just hire any boiler repair service company. A good repair company has some notable features. Thus make sure to check for those before hiring.

 

Signs That Boiler Needs Repair And Maintenance

 

After a long season of using the boiler, make sure to check it to see if there is any damage that requires repairing. Below are four signs that point that maintenance is due:

 

  • Leaks- leaks can be the worst-case scenario or just a fluke. If it is serious, as in, water is leaking out of the boiler, then there is no going back. It needs to be replaced. But, if the leak is because of pressure relief valves or pumps, then the issue can be repaired.
  • Kettling- if you boil water frequently, you know that rattling noise when the water is almost boiled. A boiler filled with hard water ends up having too much mineral deposit, and these deposits can affect the pressure level of the tank. So, if you hear a boiler making rattling noise, it is clear that the boiler needs repair and maintenance.
  • Electric ignition or pilot light- the recent model of boilers has electric ignition. It saves energy and is much more efficient. Whereas the older version of the boilers had a pilot light system. These older versions of boilers burn all day and night. Thus, there is a high chance that some issue may occur and it might require relighting.

 

Factors To Consider In Choosing A Boiler Repair Company

 

Whether you go for some local company or a national level one, some factors should always be checked before hiring the boiler repair company.

 

Years Of Service

 

Repairing a boiler is not an easy task, only professionals with years of experience in this field will be able to correctly diagnose the issue and repair it. Therefore, the first thing to look for in a boiler service london is their experience and years of service. Any company with years of experience means their work quality is high, which is why they have been able to continue with operations, making them a good company.

 

Repairing Cost

 

Before hiring a company, create a budget of your own which you are ready to spend on the repairing work. This will help in shortlisting the companies providing services of boiler repairing and boiler replacement north London. Get the quotation and choose the firm whose cost falls within your budget.

 

 

Licensed

 

A license is a proof that the company complies with all the regulations and has submitted all the documents to the local government. Having such a document makes the company more reliable and trustworthy when it comes to boiler service London.

 

Insurance 

 

A credible company will have an active insurance policy that covers any damage caused to its client's property. Thus, in case the engineer, by mistake, damages your property, then the insurance will cover the cost of repairing the damage.

 

Different services

 

Trusting the repair work of a company that only provides valliant boiler repair london is not a very wise decision. A boiler is connected to the building's HVAC system. Thus, is it better to hire a company with expertise in boiler repairing and HVAC repairing and installation.

 

Customer support

 

An active customer support system makes a company more efficient from a customer’s perspective. It becomes easy for you to book appointments, get quotations and gather any other information about the services provided by the boiler repairing company.


It is risky to use a faulty boiler, whether it is in a commercial building or a residential one. It is best to get the boiler checked every year before the arrival of the winter season. Timely, maintenance and repair increase the lifespan of the boilers.
