Boiler Repair Tips
Our team of boiler technicians can assist in replacing boiler parts and completing other boiler repairs to restore your home’s heating and hot water system. It’s important to solve issues early on as they pop up to minimize any damage to your property.
What are the Most Common Boiler Problems That Require Repair?
Some of the most common boiler problems include loss of pressure, strange noises, no heat or hot water, and leaks. A boiler losing pressure could be due to a leak, a faulty pressure relief valve, or an issue with the expansion vessel. Banging, whistling, or gurgling noises often indicate trapped air, limescale buildup, or a failing pump.
If the boiler isn’t heating properly, the thermostat, pilot light, or circulation pump might be malfunctioning. Water leaks can result from corroded pipes, a damaged heat exchanger, or loose connections. If you experience any of these issues, it’s best to call a professional for diagnosis and repair.
Why is My Boiler Making Strange Noises?
Unusual noises from a boiler, such as banging, whistling, or gurgling, can indicate various issues. Banging sounds, often called “kettling,” usually result from limescale buildup on the heat exchanger, restricting water flow and causing overheating. Whistling noises may mean trapped air in the system, which can often be fixed by bleeding the radiators. Gurgling sounds might indicate low water pressure or air pockets in the pipes. A humming noise could be due to a faulty pump or loose internal components. If the noises persist, it’s best to have a professional inspect the system to prevent further damage.

Boiler Repair F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is My Boiler Leaking Water?
A leaking boiler is a sign of a serious issue that requires immediate attention. Common causes include a broken pressure relief valve, corrosion on internal components, or a faulty pump seal. High pressure in the system can force water out through weak points, leading to leaks around the boiler or connected pipes.
In some cases, a damaged heat exchanger may be the source of the leak, which is a costly repair that may require replacing the entire unit. Ignoring leaks can lead to water damage, mold growth, and reduced efficiency.
If you notice any leaks, turn off the boiler and contact a technician as soon as possible.
How Much Does Boiler Repair Usually Cost?
The cost of boiler repair varies depending on the issue, the type of boiler, and the complexity of the repair. Minor repairs, such as fixing a thermostat or pressure issue, may cost between $150 and $400. More serious repairs, such as replacing a pump, heat exchanger, or control board, can range from $500 to $1,500 or more. Emergency repairs or after-hours service calls may come with additional costs. Regular maintenance can help prevent expensive repairs by catching small issues before they become major problems. If repair costs are too high, it may be more cost-effective to replace the boiler with a newer, more efficient model.
How Do I Know if My Boiler Needs to Be Replaced or Repaired?
If your boiler frequently breaks down, makes unusual noises, or struggles to heat your home efficiently, it may be time for a repair or replacement. Boilers that are over 15 years old tend to become less efficient and may require costly repairs. If the cost of repairing your boiler is close to the price of a new unit, replacement may be the better option. Increased energy bills and inconsistent heating are signs that your system is no longer working efficiently. If your boiler is leaking or showing signs of corrosion, a replacement might be necessary.
A professional technician can assess the condition of your boiler and recommend the best course of action.
Why Does My Boiler Keep Turning Off?
A boiler that frequently turns off, also known as short cycling, may have several underlying issues. Low water pressure, a faulty thermostat, or a blocked condensate pipe can cause the system to shut down prematurely. A buildup of limescale or sludge in the heat exchanger can also cause overheating, triggering the boiler’s safety mechanisms. Another common cause is a faulty pump that fails to circulate water properly, leading to temperature fluctuations.
If the problem persists, it’s best to have a professional diagnose and repair the issue to prevent long-term damage and inefficiency. Regular maintenance can help prevent short cycling by keeping all components in good working order.
