Your Ally In Construction

For every homeowner, a boiler is one of your home's most essential pieces of equipment. It is responsible for heating your water and providing warmth throughout the winter months. So, if something goes wrong with your boiler, it can be a real inconvenience. To help you avoid any issues with your boiler, this article has a list of the most common boiler repairs you might encounter.

1. Boiler Just Won't Start, Or It's Taking Too Long to Get Hot

Several things could be the cause of this issue, including: 

• A problem with your thermostat or timer - these can stop responding correctly and mean that your boiler can't startup.
• Low water level - if the water level falls below the minimum needed to operate your boiler, it won't start.
• A problem with your fuel supply - if no fuel gets to your boiler, it won't start.  

2. Boiler Is Making Strange Noises

If your boiler starts making strange noises, it could signify that something is wrong. Some of the most common boiler problems that can cause strange noises include:

• Water leaks - if water starts leaking from your boiler, it can make a loud noise.
• Loose parts - if there are any loose parts inside your boiler, they can cause it to rattle or make strange noises.
• Blocked flue - if your flue is blocked, the boiler exhaust gases can cause strange sounds in your home.
• A ventilation problem in your home - this could be a sign that there's not enough ventilation inside in your home when the boiler is running.

3. Boiler Is leaking

If you notice that your boiler is leaking from inside, you should contact a boiler repair expert as soon as possible because this could be a sign of a more severe problem. Some of the most common boiler problems that can cause a leak include:

• Water leaks - if water starts leaking from your boiler, it can cause serious damage to both your boiler and your home.
• A blocked flue - if your flue is blocked, the boiler exhaust gases can escape from other parts of your boiler and cause a water leak.
• A problem with your pressure valve - if your pressure valve is faulty, it can cause water to leak from your boiler.

By knowing the most common sign your boiler needs repairs, you can help troubleshoot any issues that may occur and hopefully fix them yourself without calling in a professional. However, if you cannot fix the problem, don't hesitate to contact a professional who can do the boiler repairs for you.
