Boiler Breakdown usually happens suddenly. When your boiler is working fine, you don’t appreciate it enough.
You don’t expect it to stop working and always want to get the best of it, such as hot water and heating. You want to use it whenever you want without thinking that it may fail. One day something can go wrong and you can end up with a boiler breakdown.
From then on, your life becomes a complete mess, so you start stressing out about living without a boiler and having small children makes it even worse.
When your boiler breaks down, you will require the services of an emergency plumber.
Only in winter do we realise how important heating is because we experience the drop in temperature. Unfortunately, our boiler usually stops running at this time of the year when we need it the most because we haven’t used it over the past few months. That is why people usually have their boilers serviced in the summer.
Many people don’t have the time to keep their boilers in good condition or they simply forget. If that is the case with you and your boiler is giving you much trouble, you should check the list of common causes of boiler breakdown.

Inaccurate Thermostats
You should know that there is a problem in your boiler’s thermostat if it fails to produce enough heat. It is in thermostat’s nature to lose accuracy after some time because it is too sensitive. Either you can call an engineer to fix it, or you can simply buy a new one and spend less money.
Frozen Condensation Pipe
Another problem arises if you buy the newer type of condensing boilers. These boilers have a condensation pipe at the back of the unit and it usually freezes during winter if it is not properly isolated. When this happens, either your boiler fails completely or you see the warning light on your control panel.
You don’t have to worry because our professional repair service is being offered to you, so you can have your pipe fixed and your boiler running again.
Pilot Light is Out
Pilot Lights usually go out to protect boiler users from too much gas that can explode and it can also happen due to gas pipes leaking. In case you smell gas, you shouldn’t try to fix anything by yourself but call a boiler engineer instead.
Loss of Pressure
Another problem, along with leaking gas pipes, is leaking water pipes. Loss of pressure can also mean that you have to change the pressure release valve. You should check your pipes regularly, prevent any unnecessary damage which our boiler engineers can fix and not try to do anything by yourself.
Strange Noises
The boiler system normally produces some noises, but it can also be a sign that something is wrong, such as low boiler pressure. You should check if there is any leakage and if so, call a boiler engineer to deal with it.
