Signs You Need Boiler Services
Boilers may be durable, but are also prone to certain issues that come about every once in awhile. Some might need minor repairs to fix, but others could be a symptom of a much larger problem. Get in touch with a boiler company if you notice any of the following:
Kettling
Listen carefully to the boiler while it’s running. Do you hear a low grumbling sound? This is what’s known as kettling and is often a sign of scale buildup in the heater exchange.
Cold Radiators
Boilers work by shuttling hot water to different appliances in your home, such as radiant heating apparatus. If this water is able to reach its destination, these devices become useless. Cold radiators are usually caused by a blockage or corroded pipes.
Strange Noises
If you hear strange gurgling or whistling noises coming from the boiler, it’s not a good sign. This is usually the result of there being too much or too little water in the system.
Boiler Switches On and Off
If the unit switches on and off multiple times without making any measurable change to your home’s temperature, it’s probably an issue related to the thermostat.
No Hot Water
Often, if there’s no hot water coming out of your taps it’s due to a mechanical failure.
