Why Getting the Right Diagnosis Matters Most

It's tempting to try and figure out a boiler problem yourself, or perhaps hope it fixes itself. But boilers are complex heating systems, and guessing can be unsafe and end up costing you more in the long run. An incorrect repair based on a wrong assumption means wasted time, money, and could potentially cause further damage. Our expert diagnostics service takes the guesswork out, using our knowledge and tools to pinpoint the exact fault efficiently and safely.

Our Approach to Finding Your Boiler's Problem

When you call Preferred Gas with a boiler issue in the North East, one of our Gas Safe registered engineers will visit your property. They'll start by listening carefully to your description of the problem – the symptoms you've noticed, any error codes on the display, and when the issue started. Then, they'll carry out a thorough, systematic inspection of your boiler and heating system. We check components, test functions, and use our technical knowledge to logically trace the fault, whether it's a simple pressure issue, a faulty part, or something more complex within the system's connection.

Common Boiler Faults We Expertly Diagnose

We've seen it all across boilers in North East homes. From the obvious (no heating or hot water) to the subtle (kettling noises, low pressure, pilot light failure, strange smells, leaks, or thermostats not communicating), our engineers are trained to identify the underlying cause. We understand the common issues that affect different makes and models, as well as problems unique to local conditions or installation types. Finding the root cause is the crucial first step to a reliable fix.

From Fault Found to Fix Planned

Once our engineer has completed the diagnosis, they'll explain exactly what the boiler fault is, why it happened, and what parts or work are needed to fix it.

We aim to offer a seamless transition from finding the problem to getting it resolved, restoring your heating and hot water as quickly and safely as possible.
