What are the signs that show your boiler needs repairing?

Noises

One of the most common signs that your boiler is faulty is the noise it makes while functioning. All the boilers make a slight humming noise when working, but if your boiler regularly vexes your ears, it is a sign that it's having difficulty operating. 

Other annoying sounds you may notice your boiler makes include knocking, banging, sloshing, rattling, and gurgling. 

Leaving the problem unresolved may lead to high repair costs or an entire boiler replacement. Hence, it will be best to instantly call professional gas engineers to check your boiler thoroughly and repair its parts if needed.

Increased Bills 

A sudden rise in your energy bills may point toward a fault in your boiler. An ineffective boiler works at an insufficient capacity and can consume a lot of energy, increasing your monthly energy bills. 

An increase in your heating bills can also be a sign of gas leaks, which can be dangerous if not fixed as soon as possible. 

Insufficient Hot Water 

Water taking too much time to reach the desired heating point is one of the most prominent signs that your boiler has circulating issues. 

If turning on your hot water taps anywhere in your house does not get you hot water within seconds, your boiler may require a thorough check or repair. Otherwise, it will affect the other parts of your boiler, leaving you with multiple boiler repairs.

Smells

If you smell a strange egg-like smell near your boiler, instantly contact boiler engineers to deal with the issue. Your boiler is giving off foul odours because it is leaking carbon monoxide, which is odourless. 

The egg-like smell is due to sulfur added to the carbon monoxide for leakage detection. We strongly recommend not handling the issue yourself to keep you and your family safe. Instead, call the expert heating engineers to fix your boiler.
