Common Boiler Problems We Repair in Wokingham
A modern boiler is a complex piece of equipment, and problems can range from a minor inconvenience to a major breakdown. Our experienced engineers are trained to diagnose and fix all common boiler issues, regardless of the make or model, including leading brands like Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Ideal, and Baxi.
No Heating or Hot Water: This is the most common and urgent issue. It could be caused by a faulty pump, a broken thermostat, a problem with the diverter valve, or a blockage in the system. Our engineers are experts at quickly identifying the source and getting the flow of heat back to your home.
Kettling Noises: A rumbling or bubbling sound often indicates a buildup of limescale or sludge in your heat exchanger. This not only reduces efficiency and raises your energy bills but can also cause long-term damage. We can clean your system and restore its quiet, efficient operation.
Low Boiler Pressure: If your boiler keeps losing pressure, there could be a leak in your system. We will not only top up the pressure but also find and fix the source of the leak, whether it's a worn seal or a minor radiator leak.
Boiler Leaking: A leaking boiler is a serious issue that needs immediate attention to prevent water damage and potential electrical faults. We will quickly identify the source of the leak and repair it safely.
Strange Smells or Odors: Any unusual smell, especially a sulfur-like odor, could indicate a gas leak. This is a critical safety issue, and you should contact a Gas Safe engineer immediately. We will arrive promptly to check your system and ensure your home is safe.
Boiler Not Firing Up: This can be caused by a number of issues, from a faulty pilot light to a problem with the gas supply or ignition system. Our diagnostic process will pinpoint the issue and allow for a quick repair.
Pilot Light Problems: If your pilot light keeps going out, it could indicate a faulty thermocouple or a lack of oxygen. We'll troubleshoot the cause and make the necessary repairs to ensure a stable pilot.
Radiators Not Getting Hot: This often points to a problem with air in the system or a build-up of sludge. We can bleed your radiators or recommend a power flush to get your entire central heating system working perfectly again.
