Homes with boilers can experience common issues that can prove to be costly if not addressed early enough. Regular boiler servicing Bristol home owners schedule is the best way to avoid issues.
Common Problems
Lack of heat is of course a major issue for a boiler. This can be caused by broken diaphragms, a broken thermostat, improper levels of water and even valve issues. If you have a noisy boiler it is not only annoying but also a symptom of many issues. Common sounds can include everything from banging and gurgling to an unsettling hissing sound. These sounds are often caused by water pressure problems as well as having air in the system. Water pressure issues can also be a sign of leaks. Leaks can cause serious damage to your home including mould and mildew. A slow leak or persistent dripping can be caught by boiler servicing Bristol companies offer and they can arrange for a repair before serious flooding occurs. Thermocouple issues will often cause your pilot light to go out, but drafts can also be at fault. Your condensate pipe can sometimes freeze and your service man can defrost it for you. If your boiler seems to keep shutting itself off there is a good chance something is amiss with the thermostat. Your service call can help decide if this is the case or if it is due to other issues with the valve or pressure.
