When Is It Time to Fix Your Boiler?
If your boiler needs repairs, don't put it off until an emergency arises. Routine maintenance keeps a boiler running well, but problems still happen. Watch for these warning signs and book a repair before a small issue becomes a breakdown.
Water Leaks
A water leak in a boiler is never a good thing. Most boiler leaks are the consequence of more serious problems like corrosion, improper installation, damaged valves and pumps, or broken seals, despite the fact that some homeowners believe they can just fix the leak and go on. In order to restore heat and avoid further water damage, it is necessary to have a professional expert assess and fix any leaks.
Unusual Smells
A rotten-egg smell near your boiler can mean a natural gas leak. Leave the building right away. Do not use light switches, phones or anything that could create a spark while inside. Once you are outside, call FortisBC's 24-hour gas emergency line, then contact us to repair the system once it is safe. Because gas boilers can also produce carbon monoxide, make sure your home has working CO alarms.
Strange Sounds
Strange noises from your boiler should not be ignored. Gurgling, whistling or banging (often called kettling) usually point to trapped air, limescale buildup or a blockage in the system. A boiler technician can find the cause and fix it before it damages other components.
No heat or Hot water
Waking up to cold radiators or no hot water is a clear sign your boiler needs attention. Although these are frequent indicators that maintenance is necessary, they should not be ignored for long. No matter what component of the boiler is malfunctioning—the diaphragm, the valve, the thermostat, or any other part—we will promptly replace or repair it as needed.
Water Is Not Hot Enough
There are a lot of potential causes if your boiler's water isn't getting hot enough to adequately heat your house, or if the water is just mildly heated. A trained technician can help you locate the source and a remedy, whether it's a thermostat or a heating element that has to be changed.
Rising Cost of Energy
Your boiler may require servicing if you see an unexpected and large increase in your energy cost. While it's true that you'll eventually have to replace your boiler due to its age and inefficiency, a competent crew can fix most of the other causes of rising running expenses.
Unexpected Boiler Turnoff
If your boiler shuts off on its own, book an inspection. Unexpected shutdowns are often caused by a faulty pump, a thermostat problem or a leak in the system. Your boiler system's unreliability might be due to a malfunctioning pump, thermostat, or leak in your system, among other things!
