A broken boiler can be a nightmare, especially during the colder months when you rely on it for warmth and hot water. While it’s inconvenient, there are steps you can take to handle the situation effectively. At South Coast Plumbing and Heating, we’re here to guide you through the process and provide expert support whenever you need it.
Step 1: Check for Common Issues
Before assuming the worst, it’s worth doing a quick check for some common problems:
• Power Supply: Make sure your boiler is getting power. A tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse can sometimes stop it from working.
• Thermostat Settings: Double-check that the thermostat is set correctly and the temperature hasn’t been adjusted accidentally.
• Pilot Light or Ignition: If you have an older boiler, the pilot light may have gone out. For modern boilers, check the ignition system or display for error codes.
• Water Pressure: Low water pressure can prevent your boiler from functioning. Check the pressure gauge – it should typically read between 1 and 2 bars.
If you’ve checked these and the boiler is still not working, it’s time to call the experts.
Step 2: Stay Safe
A faulty boiler can sometimes pose safety risks, especially if it’s leaking water or gas. If you smell gas or suspect a carbon monoxide leak:
1. Open all windows and doors to ventilate your home.
2. Turn off the gas supply at the mains.
3. Leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency Service immediately on 0800 111 999.
Once the immediate danger is resolved, South Coast Plumbing and Heating can help repair or replace the boiler to get you back up and running.
