Warning Signs Your Boiler is Faulty

While it would be ideal for all boilers to last forever, sadly they do not. Like all things, boilers have an expiration date as well and with that, faults are often times a symptom that your boiler has reached theirs. That being said, faults in boilers can occur at any time. If bad enough, they can also endanger lives if not caught soon enough and corrected immediately. Below is some of the most common faulty boiler warning signs to keep an eye out for.

If you find you have to reset your boiler often, there is a high probability there is a problem with your boiler. One of the deadliest faults a boiler can have is leaking carbon monoxide into your home. This is especially dangerous as carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless. Boilers tend to require frequent gas-trained professional services and repairs to keep them operating correctly, efficiently, and safely. 

Should a gas-trained professional recommend an installation for a new boiler in your home, consider this seriously. Be sure to stop using your boiler, and if in doubt, be sure to request a second opinion. If this recommendation is made, it often times means your boiler is a hazard in your home, so be sure to act swiftly. Boiler repair services are as easy as 1, 2, 3, when you choose to give Advanced Boilers & Hydronic Heating a call. Your safety is our priority; your satisfaction is our guarantee. Let us take care of you and your boiler when you need it most! 

Another clear indication that your boiler is faulty is if your home isn’t getting as warm as it used to. When this happens, this means you aren’t receiving the full benefits of your heating. If you are also experiencing your hot water is running cooler than you normally would like it to be, this could be a sign that you need a gas-trained professional to take a look at your system. Remember, an efficient boiler doesn’t cost too much in high heating bills, nor does it waste energy. 

A visible sign that your boiler is requiring a gas-trained professional to check your boiler is when you notice dark marks on or around it. If this is the case and your boiler burning function is faulty, this means there are dark deposits that can cause a strange smell too, along with possible carbon monoxide leakage. Seek help immediately if you find your boiler is exhibiting these signs and symptoms. 

Boilers require regular, if not annual maintenance at the very least; in order to make sure your boiler is running efficiently and accurately. If you find the boiler pump isn’t running correctly or if the fan itself is old, this can also create faulty problems. Boiler repair can be a hassle, but we make it easy and stress-free. Be sure to have a qualified professional from Advanced Boilers & Hydronic Heating to take a look! 

Has your carbon monoxide detector been beeping while your boiler has been on? Have you checked the battery indicator? You can also ring the National Gas Emergency Helpline if in need. They are able to offer advice and assist as well.
