A few things you can check
Thermostat
The first check is to ensure that your thermostat is fully functional and in the right setting.
Boiler pressure
Then check your boiler pressure if it's too low make sure that the boiler is set to the manufacturer's instructions (this is typically between 1 and 2 on the pressure gauge).
Frozen Pipe
If you're having issues during the winter months check your condensate pipe. This is your external pipe so during the winter months it can freeze and sometimes burst. This can be avoided by purchasing special insulation called lagging.
Common signs which indicate your boiler needs repairing
Hot and Cold Spots
Inconsistent heating is a symptom that your boiler needs to be serviced. It's time to look into it if you notice that some rooms in your house are always cooler than others, or if your radiators aren't producing enough heat. The problem may originate with the thermostat, the airlocks, or the pump.
Strange Sounds
Boilers often don't make a lot of noise. Sounds like clanking, banging, or gurgling from your boiler should serve as a warning that maintenance is required. It's possible that air in the system, mineral buildup, or a broken part are all to blame for these noises.
Rising Cost of Energy
An inefficient boiler can cause an unexpected increase in your energy bills without an equivalent increase in use. A poorly designed boiler will not only increase your utility bills, but will also waste energy. Boiler repairs can get it back up to speed and help you save money in the long term.
Drippings & Leaks
Water dripping or leaking around your boiler is never something you should overlook. They may point to a broken pressure relief valve, pump, or other control mechanism. Water damage and additional boiler deterioration can be avoided if these leaks are fixed as soon as possible.
6 Tips For Maintaining Your Boiler
1. Regular Inspections
The foundation of boiler maintenance is consistent inspections. Make sure you have a professional Gas Safe registered engineer carry out annual checks. They will check your boiler for leaks, corrosion, and other problems that could reduce its efficiency.
2. Look for Leaks
A leaking boiler poses risks in terms of both efficiency and safety. Regularly check the area surrounding your boiler for leaks, and if you find any, get in touch with a specialist right away.
3. Radiator Bleeding
Possible causes of radiator failure include air blockage. To eliminate trapped air, bleed the radiators with a special key. The effectiveness of your boiler can be greatly enhanced by taking this easy measure.
4. Clean the boiler
The effectiveness of your boiler can be diminished if dust and other debris build up inside of it. Keep the outside and surrounding area clean on a regular basis to avoid this buildup.
5. Keep an Eye on the Water Pressure
Your boiler won't work properly if the water pressure isn't kept at the right level. Make careful to keep an eye on the pressure gauge and adjust it up or down as needed.
6. Insulate the Pipes
Pipe insulation can reduce heat loss and boost boiler performance, especially during the winter. It's a cheap approach to make your boiler more efficient.
