Common Boiler Faults We Expertly Diagnose in Alston
We've seen it all in Alston and the surrounding areas. Some of the most frequent boiler faults we diagnose include:
- Pressure Issues: Low or high pressure can prevent your boiler from firing up or cause it to operate inefficiently.
- Thermostat Problems: A faulty thermostat can lead to inconsistent heating or a boiler that won't turn on or off.
- Faulty Pilot Lights: A pilot light that won't stay lit can indicate a problem with the gas supply or a faulty thermocouple.
- Blocked or Frozen Condensate Pipes: This is a common issue in colder weather, causing the boiler to shut down.
- Pump Failures: A malfunctioning pump can prevent hot water from circulating properly, leading to cold radiators.
- Heat Exchanger Issues: A cracked or leaking heat exchanger can be a serious safety hazard.
- Diverter Valve Problems: Diverter valves control the flow of water to your taps and radiators; a faulty valve can cause hot water or heating issues.
