2. Your Boiler Is Leaking Or Dripping

Leaks and drips are a noticeable indicator of a likely more significant issue, but except when you are qualified to do so you should not have a go at to identify the issue by yourself. A number of the causes for your boiler to have leaks or drips will most likely call for a trained boiler technician to deal with them. Drips and leaks are typically due to a broken pump seal or pressure valve. Once it is replaced, you might have to lower your boiler’s pressure, your boiler technician will gladly advise you on this.

3. Strange Noises Coming From The Boiler

Maybe one of the most noticeable of all boiler issues is when your gas boiler begins to make unusual sounds, for instance, gurgling or banging. It is likely that air is trapped inside the system is the issue, but it can additionally result from low water pressure. Unfortunately, the issue may also be more serious, including your boiler nearing the end of its life and you need a new boiler installed.

4. Pilot Light Is Not Lit

The solution for an extinguished pilot light is simple, just relight it. But right before doing that you should check out your system to determine if there’s an even more dangerous issue first. Problems you might find include:

  • A close-by draught blowing out the pilot light.
  • Build up close to or around the {pilot}light which puts it out.
  • The supply of the gas might be stopped by a thermocouple that needs repair.

If you do notice anything that you think could be a problem then you should speak to your local heating technician to look into and if required fix even before you attempt to relight the pilot light.

5. Boiler Has Low Pressure

A loss of pressure in the gas boiler can be an indicator of a problem with your heating system itself. You can easily check the pressure of your boiler by looking at the gauge and making sure that it is more than 1. If it is not, then there’s a problem elsewhere inside your heating system that needs to be checked out by a trained heating technician.

6. Problems With The Thermostat

An unreliable thermostat might create various issues, so it is critical to set up a regular plan (at least once a quarter) to ensure that the thermostat is working as intended. It is a quick test. You simply begin by making sure the thermostat is placed in the right position and has the correct setting and that the boiler turns off when you reduce the temperature setting and then back on again when you increase the temperature setting.
