FOLLOWING ARE THE COMMON BOILER PROBLEMS YOU MAY COME ACROSS:- 

• NO HEATING PRODUCED AND NO HOT WATER – 

Generally such an issue is caused due to broken diaphragms and airlocks, motorized valves not working, problems with the thermostat or low water levels. To ease your way, a practical way to start is checking an issue with boiler pressure or your thermostat. If the problem arises due to broken diaphragm or airlocks or valve, they might need to be replaced with a new one.

• BANGING AND GURGLING SOUNDS – 

 Such strange noises can be because of air in the system, it can be due to low water pressure or its kettling. Sudden pump failures are a very common reason for such banging noises, especially in older systems. If the noise is similar to a boiling kettle, then it can be a result of kettling. 

•  THERMOSTAT PROBLEM – 

 If your thermostat is working without any accuracy and is turning on/off when not needed then it’s time to replace the older with a new one. But you must check it thoroughly, as many of the times, some minor issues are overlooked. A crucial thing to check is that if the thermostat is at its position and if the settings are correct relating to time and schedule. There can be a possibility that it could have been knocked.

•  RADIATORS AREN’T HEATING – 

You may come across an issue where all the radiators aren’t heating or only the bottom section is heating. Such an issue can be due to a couple of reasons but the two most likely causes are air-build up or sludge in the system and unequal distribution of heat. If only the bottom ones are heating up, you may need to bleed it. This is quite straightforward and may not require an engineer.

•  LEAKING ISSUES –

 Leaking in the boiler can be due to many reasons. The most common reason can be broken internal part, pump seal or pressure valve. If the leakage is from pressure valve, it means the boiler pressure is too high. In case of leakage from pump seal, it may have become worn out and needs replacement.
