Signs your boiler needs repairing
Lack of Hot Water
If you're experiencing a lack of hot water, it could be due to no power to the boiler, a frozen condensate pipe, or low pressure. Our team will quickly diagnose the root cause and implement the necessary fix, whether it's thawing a pipe, restoring power, or addressing pressure issues.
Strange Smells
Strange smells could indicate a potential gas leak, which is a serious safety hazard. We respond immediately to such calls, conducting a thorough safety inspection. We'll repair the leak and ensure your home is safe before we leave.
Slow Heating
If your boiler is taking longer than usual to heat your home, it could be due to sediment buildup, a faulty thermostat, or circulation problems. Our approach includes cleaning your system, replacing faulty components, and optimizing your boiler's performance.
Unusual Noise
Unusual noises like rattling or whistling often indicate deposit buildup, air in the system, or failing components. We'll perform a thorough cleaning, bleed the system if necessary, and replace any worn parts to restore quiet operation.
When to Consider Boiler Repair
Your boiler is less than 10 years old
Modern boilers typically have a lifespan of 10-15 years. If your boiler is within this range, repairs are often the most cost-effective option.
The issue is minor or isolated
If the problem is with a single, replaceable component (like a pump or valve), the repair is usually the best choice.
Your boiler has been well-maintained
Regular servicing can extend a boiler's life, making repairs more viable.
Energy bills haven't increased significantly
If your boiler is still running efficiently, repairs can keep it going strong.
The repair cost is reasonable
As a general rule, if the repair cost is less than 50% of the cost of a new boiler, repairing is often the more economical choice.
When to Consider Boiler Replacement
Your boiler is over 15 years old
Older boilers are less efficient and more prone to breakdowns. Replacement often leads to significant energy savings.
Frequent breakdowns
If you're calling for repairs multiple times a year, the costs and inconvenience may outweigh the price of a new boiler.
Parts are hard to find
For older models, replacement parts can become scarce and expensive.
Your energy bills are rising
An inefficient boiler can significantly increase your energy costs. A new, high-efficiency model could lead to substantial savings.
Your home's heating needs have changed
If you've added extensions or improved insulation, your current boiler may no longer be the right size for your home.
You want to switch fuel types
If you're considering moving from oil to gas, or want to explore renewable options like biomass boilers, you'll need a replacement.
The repair cost is high
If the repair would cost more than 50% of a new boiler's price, replacement is often the better long-term investment.
