  5. Boiler Has Low Pressure
  6. Issues With The Thermostat

1. No Hot Water – Essentially, your gas boiler isn’t doing its job when this occurs, and there are a few possible causes.

  • An airlock or diaphragm is damaged.
  • There’s a low level of water.
  • There might be something wrong with the thermostat.
  • One of the motorised valves has broken.
The easiest and first points for you to check out are the boilers water pressure and the thermostat. If it’s any one of these problems then follow the gas boiler manufacturers procedures for fixing these problems. If it’s none of the issues above then you need to contact a Gas Safe registered and qualified boiler engineer to take a look at the issue safely.

2. Your Boiler Is Dripping Or Leaking

Leaks and drips are a clear symptom of a likely more serious issue, however, except when you are qualified to do so you should not have a go at to figure out the issue for yourself. Most of the causes for the boiler to be having drips or leaks are going to call for an authorised boiler engineer to deal with them. Leaks and drips are commonly caused by a damaged pump seal or pressure valve. Once it’s replaced, you may need to lower your boiler’s pressure, the gas engineer will gladly advise you on this.

3. Odd Sounds Coming Out Of Your Boiler

Possibly easily the most obvious of all boiler problems is when your gas boiler starts to make strange noises, like banging or gurgling. It’s likely that air is caught inside the system is the issue, however, it could also be because of low water pressure. However, the issue can also be much more serious, such as the boiler reaching the end of its life and you really need a new boiler fitted.

4. Pilot Light Is Not Lit

The remedy for an extinguished pilot light is easy, simply relight it. However, right before trying that you really should check out the system to identify if there’s an even more severe issue primarily. Issues you might identify include:
  • A close-by breeze extinguishing the light.
  • Build up close to or around the {pilot}light that extinguishes it.
  • The supply of gas could be halted by a thermocouple that is broken.
If you do spot something that you think may be an issue then you really should contact your local gas engineer to take a look at and if required fix even before you attempt to relight the pilot light.

5. Boiler Has Low Pressure

A loss of pressure in the gas boiler might be an indicator of an issue with your heating system itself. You are able to check the pressure of the boiler by taking a look at the gauge and making sure that it’s over 1. If it’s not, then there’s an issue someplace inside your heating system which really needs to get checked out by an authorised gas engineer.

6. Issues With The Thermostat

An inaccurate thermostat can cause various problems, so it’s essential to determine a regular schedule (at the very least once a quarter) to be sure that the thermostat is operating as it should. It’s an easy check. You just simply start by ensuring the thermostat is placed in the correct place and has the correct setting and that the boiler switches off if you decrease the temperature level and then back on again if you raise the temperature level.
