Common Signs Your Boiler Needs Professional Repair
Boilers often give warning signs before they fail completely. Recognizing these signals can help you address the problem before it escalates into a major breakdown. If you notice any of the following issues, it’s time to call for a professional diagnosis.
- No Heat or Hot Water: This is the most obvious sign of a boiler problem. It could stem from a variety of issues, including a faulty pilot light, a broken pump, or thermostat malfunctions.
- Leaks and Dripping: Any water pooling around your boiler is a cause for concern. Leaks can indicate a broken internal component, a pressure issue, or a corroded pipe. Ignoring them can lead to significant water damage and system failure.
- Kettling Noises: If your boiler is making loud rumbling, banging, or whistling sounds similar to a boiling kettle, it’s likely due to a buildup of limescale or sludge on the heat exchanger. This restricts water flow, causes overheating, and reduces efficiency.
- Low Boiler Pressure: Your boiler needs to maintain a stable pressure level to function correctly. If you constantly have to repressurize your system or the pressure gauge reads below the recommended level, there could be a leak in the system or a faulty pressure relief valve.
- Pilot Light Goes Out: An older boiler with a pilot light that repeatedly extinguishes could have a faulty thermocouple or a buildup of debris restricting gas flow. This is a critical issue that requires immediate professional attention.
- Radiators Aren't Heating Up: If some radiators are hot while others remain cold, or if there are cold spots on a single radiator, it often points to trapped air, sludge buildup, or a balancing issue within the system.
- Boiler Switches Off Randomly: Known as short-cycling, this happens when the boiler turns on and off frequently without completing a full heating cycle. It can be caused by low water pressure, a faulty thermostat, or an oversized boiler.

When to Call for Boiler Repair
