While engaging an engineer from Beckett’s Plumbing & Heating for boilers
Fareham breakdown chores and other boiler-related repairs cannot be
emphasised enough, there are some home checks from the boiler service checklist
that you are absolutely safe to perform yourself.
If any of the following situation arise, then it is better to call a
professional for your boiler repair.
1.
No heating or hot water
Every homeowner dreads the day when they discover that
the central heating has not turned on when it should have or that the water in
the shower is icy cold.
Don't panic and call your plumber right away chances
are they can simply remedy the problem. This could be caused by any number of
factors, such as a malfunctioning valve or thermostat.
2.
Water leaks
One of the factors, such as an issue with the
circulation pump or a crack in one of the components made of cast iron or
aluminium, can result in leaks (depending how old your boiler is).
It pays to have a plumber look at the boiler as soon
as you notice a leak if you find water coming from it. If you let the leak
worsen, you run the risk of flooding the boiler and having the interior parts
corroded, which may be a particularly serious problem.
3.
Odd noises
Once you have lived with your boiler for a while, you
will discover that you come to know the "normal" noises it makes,
such as the sound it makes when someone puts on a hot tap or when it goes on
and off.
However, you should also keep an ear out for any
unusual gurgling, hissing, or knocking sounds. These can be brought on by a
number of causes, including limescale and an accumulation of air bubbles. Call
your plumber as soon as you see anything unusual, whatever the possible cause
may be.
4.
Water temperature fluctuations
If your hot water supply fluctuates in temperature
rather than maintaining a constant temperature, your boiler may not be
functioning properly.
Another sign of a malfunctioning boiler is when the
water only becomes hot enough when the central heating is on. Other warning
signs include rapid increase in water temperature. When the problem still
exists, call your plumber.
5.
No pilot lights
If your pilot light suddenly stops working, you should
call a plumber to see if they can identify the problem and restart the light.
They could also be able to offer you suggestions on how to avoid this from
happening in the future.
6.
Your boiler is under warranty
Read the fine print on your insurance documents when
you have located them. Your boiler's warranty may still be valid. However, you
must submit a claim before work on your boiler begins.
