Common Boiler Problems We Repair
Boilers can fail for many different reasons. Some issues are minor and quickly resolved, while others require replacement parts or further investigation. Below are some of the most frequently reported boiler problems in Aberdeen homes.
Boiler Not Heating Properly
If your radiators remain cold or only partially heat up, the issue may relate to pressure levels, circulation faults, or internal component failure. A proper assessment helps identify the cause before recommending the appropriate repair.
No Hot Water
Loss of hot water is often linked to diverter valve faults, thermostat problems, airlocks, or ignition issues. Accurate diagnosis avoids unnecessary part replacement and ensures the repair focuses on the actual fault.
Low Boiler Pressure
Low pressure is a common boiler issue, particularly during colder months when heating systems work harder. While topping up pressure may temporarily restore function, repeated pressure loss usually indicates an underlying problem that needs attention.
Boiler Leaking Water
Leaks around a boiler should be investigated promptly. Common causes include worn seals, excessive pressure, corrosion, or pump faults. Left unresolved, even minor leaks can lead to further system damage.
Unusual Boiler Noises
Banging, gurgling, or whistling sounds may suggest trapped air, sludge build-up, limescale, or circulation problems. These noises are often early warning signs that the heating system requires a boiler inspection.
Boiler Error Codes
Modern boilers display fault codes when a problem is detected. Identifying what the error relates to can speed up diagnosis and reduce unnecessary disruption.
Types of Boilers We Repair
Most domestic boiler types can be repaired, including:
- Combi boilers
- System boilers
- Conventional (regular) boilers
Repairs are commonly carried out on major UK brands such as Worcester Bosch, Ideal, Vaillant, Baxi and Glow-worm. Availability of replacement parts may affect repair times depending on the age and model of the appliance.
Gas Safe Registered Work
All domestic gas appliance work in the UK must be completed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Boiler repairs involve working with gas systems and must be carried out safely and in accordance with legal requirements.
Ensuring that any engineer attending your property is properly registered is essential for both safety and compliance.
