Frequently asked questions about our boiler services in Derby

Why is my boiler making strange noises?

Unusual noises such as banging, whistling, or gurgling may indicate issues like air in the system, limescale buildup, or a malfunctioning component. It's recommended to have a professional inspect and diagnose the problem.

How often should I have my boiler serviced?

Annual boiler servicing is recommended to ensure it operates efficiently, prevent potential issues, and prolong its lifespan. Regular maintenance can also help identify and address minor problems before they become major issues.

What should I do if my boiler is leaking?

A leaking boiler could be a sign of a faulty pressure relief valve, a corroded pipe, or a damaged seal. Turn off the boiler, and contact a qualified technician to assess and repair the issue promptly.

Why is my boiler losing pressure?

Boiler pressure loss may be due to issues such as a water leak, a faulty pressure relief valve, or a problem with the expansion vessel. A technician can investigate the cause and make the necessary repairs.

How can I improve the energy efficiency of my boiler?

Regular maintenance, including cleaning the heat exchanger and checking for proper insulation, can improve boiler efficiency. Upgrading to a more energy-efficient model may also be considered for long-term savings.

What is the lifespan of a typical boiler?

The lifespan of a boiler varies, but with proper maintenance, many boilers can last between 15 to 20 years. As boilers age, their efficiency may decrease, and upgrading to a newer model could be beneficial.

Can I install a smart thermostat with my boiler?

In many cases, yes. Smart thermostats can be compatible with boilers, providing enhanced control and energy efficiency. However, it's essential to ensure compatibility, and professional installation is recommended.

Is it normal for my boiler to emit an odour?

Unusual odours, such as a burning smell, could indicate a problem with the boiler. It's crucial to turn off the boiler, ventilate the area, and seek professional assistance to diagnose and address the issue.

Can I bleed my radiators myself?

Bleeding radiators is a common maintenance task that homeowners can perform. However, if you're unsure or encounter difficulties, it's best to seek guidance from a professional technician.

What should I do if my boiler breaks down during the winter months?

In case of a boiler breakdown in winter, contact a heating professional immediately. Many companies offer emergency services to address urgent issues and restore heat to your home promptly.
