Common Boiler Problems

While boilers provide a great way to warm your home when they are working properly, just like any other heating system, they are prone to experience a range of problems from time to time. While you may be able to resolve some of these issues on your own, many of them will require the expertise of a professional.

Here are some of the most common problems you might experience with your boiler:

• No pilot light – This could be a result of a broken thermocouple, built-up deposit, a draft, or the natural gas being turned off.
• Inaccurate thermostat – If your thermostat is switched on and is set to the proper settings but still experiencing problems, it may need to be replaced.
• Leaking or dripping – As internal components wear out over time, it may cause a leak from your boiler.
• Loud banging or whistling sounds – Strange noises may come from your boiler when it has air in the system, low water pressure, or a part that is on the verge of failing.
• Radiators do not get hot – This issue can be due to sludge or air buildup inside the boiler.
• No heat – If your boiler isn’t producing heat, it could be from insufficient water levels, thermostat issues, or broken parts.
• Low pressure – If the pressure is too low in your boiler, it may be leaking or in need of a new pressure valve. You might also experience this problem if your radiators haven’t been bled recently.
• Rumbling noises – Water can become too hot and start to boil when there is limited water flow caused by sludge buildup in the heat exchanger.
• Boiler won’t stay on – Thermostat problems, low water pressure, a closed valve, or a malfunctioning water pump could all be reasons why your boiler keeps shutting off on its own.
• Frozen condensate pipe – Since this pipe is outside, it has the potential to freeze when temperatures are below freezing.

Not scheduling annual maintenance for your boiler can contribute to these types of problems. Our team is ready to suggest a maintenance plan that can help you avoid expensive repairs, make your boiler more efficient, and maximize its lifespan.
