Heat circulates better throughout a home or business than furnace heat.

Heat from the pipes stays close to the floor under the feet. Your feet will stay warmer than when heat blows out from a wall vent.

Heat doesn’t rise to the ceiling as quickly as radiator heat. Instead, objects near the floor retain it.

The most common noises include gurgling, whistling or banging. However, you might also notice leaking or dripping sounds when pipes begin to rust.

Odd noises can also indicate that air has invaded the system, or the water pressure is too low. Limescale buildup or a damaged pump also can result in unusual boiler sounds.

It occurs in some outdoor pipes on some boilers made after 2005. Condensation sometimes freezes and causes heating system blockages.

It sometimes requires replacement, but repair might be possible. We can inspect your frozen pipes to help you come up with the best possible solution. For instance, your outdoor pipe might require some insulation to prevent it from freezing in the future. Boiling at a higher temperature might also help. If you do, remember to turn down the thermostat after the cold water heats up.

A malfunctioning thermostat will have issues regulating the heat in your house. Check the settings or see if your thermostat needs new batteries. In other cases, the wiring might need maintenance, or the entire thermostat might need to be replaced. Inaccurate temperature readings are a sign it needs replacement.

Sometimes, your boiler rumbles just like when water boils in a tea kettle on the stove. When this occurs, you might need a professional to scrape out the limescale build up or sludge out of your heat exchanger. You should notice an improvement in performance. If not, the exchanger might need replacement.

If you notice that the boiler doesn’t provide you with any hot tap water and your radiators aren’t emitting any heat, this is a sign your boiler is having issues. Surfaces that should feel warm also feel cold. If you notice any of these signs, you’ll need repair or replacement of the thermostat, condensate pipe or other parts.

Leaks occur most often when excess pressure damages water valves. They also happen when pump seals become worn and need replacement. Pipe corrosion, especially around the water tank, also causes leaking and requires replacement services.

Perhaps dust or debris has accumulated somewhere in the boiler pipelines. However, it usually occurs because of leaks or water freezing. Gradual wear and tear sometimes cause this issue as well and when you let excess air out of your radiator.

You can book an appointment with us. We’ll come check for leaks around your entire boiler, radiator and pipelines.

We recommend cleaning the condensate trap at least once a year. You’ll also want the burner mesh cleaned as often as possible.

This includes any gaskets that would wear out and cause leaks. Furthermore, make sure you have your igniter, flame rods and heat exchanger examined.

This will prevent waterside scaling and will maintain your boiler’s efficiency.

Sometimes the combustion needs adjustment. You can use an analyzer to calibrate it.
