The weather looks like it’s going to be highly unpredictable this summer. Unfortunately, the UK is still experiencing cold spells, and we’re receiving more than our fair share of rain. You might find your boiler has still been working hard this this past few months.
If you’re having issues with your heating in Huddersfield, our engineers offer a speedy and affordable repair service.
What are the signs that your boiler in Huddersfield needs repairs?
Although the most obvious sign if you’re not receiving heat, there are other red flags to watch out for. However, if the boiler isn’t producing heat or hot water, it’s a clear sign of a problem. This could be due to a malfunctioning thermostat, low water levels, or a broken diaphragm.
Nothing is worse than trying to snuggle near the radiator, only to find it’s stone-cold. Although it’s not as much of an issue during summer, it’s vital to keep your heating system in good condition in preparation for the colder seasons.
If some of your radiators are not heating up normally or are only warm at the top, this could mean there’s a sludge buildup in the system. Alternatively, there might be air trapped in the radiators. Our engineers will diagnose the issue and carry out repairs in the most efficient manner.
A noisy boiler should never be ignored. If you hear odd noises, such as banging, clunk, whistling or gurgling, this can indicate a variety of issues. The problems can range from air in the system to mechanical problems with the pump or other components.
Have you noticed any leaks from your boiler?
Although people often ignore it, water leaks are a serious problem. In the long-term, they can lead to further damage. Leaks can be caused by a number of problems, from corroded pipes to a broken pressure relief valve. Our team is able to diagnose the issue in the quickest time possible and get your boiler back in action as soon as possible.
Notice your pilot light keeps going out?
If the pilot light keeps going out or if it has changed color (usually from blue to yellow), it might indicate a problem with the thermocouple or a buildup of carbon monoxide, which is a serious safety concern.
Regular boiler servicing is vital for keeping everyone in your property safe and is required by law if you’re a landlord.
Another red flag is you’ve noticed unusual smells. Any strange odors coming from the boiler, especially a metallic, electrical, or burning smell, should be checked immediately. This could indicate overheating or an electrical fault.
If the boiler frequently turns on and off, it could be short cycling. This can be caused by issues such as a faulty thermostat, low water pressure, or air in the system.
Another sign you need repairs is if the boiler's pressure gauge indicates a drop in pressure. This might mean there is a leak or a problem with the pressure relief valve.
Noticed your energy bills have been rising for no reason?
Given how costly energy bills have become over the past few years, nobody wants to be paying any extra charges. A sudden spike in energy costs can indicate that the boiler is not operating efficiently, maybe due to wear and tear or a malfunctioning component. If you want it to be working at optimal levels, a service can make all the difference.
One of the best things about modern boilers is that they make it easier to diagnose problems.
This is due to the fact that they have error codes. Many modern boilers have digital displays that show error codes when something goes wrong. Before calling an engineer in Huddersfield, it can help to refer to the boiler’s manual to understand the error codes and their meanings. This will mean that we can carry out repairs in the most speedy way imaginable.
