Is It Time to Repair Your Boiler? 

The points below are great knowing, however, you should always hire a Gas Safe registered engineer to take a look at your boiler and decide whether it is in need of repair or not. 

Your Boiler Keeps Producing Unusual Noises

Boilers that aren't in the best of conditions tend to make unusual noises. This can be loud bangs to kettling noises and gurgling sounds. This particular sign is very obviously not the best circumstance for your boiler to be in. The signs are usually a sign of trapped air in the system, which would need to be displaced. 

Your Boiler Keeps Switching Off

This sign often points to a problem with the water pressure or thermostat, and if your boiler keeps switching off by itself, there's most likely to be an issue with your boiler and you should have a Gas Safe registered engineer take a look. 

Cold Water

Noticed your shower producing cold water? Whilst this point doesn't necessarily mean that your boiler is in need of repair, it could simply be the case of switching the warm water on and waiting for the tank to refill. However, if you've tried this and the results aren't as expected, it could indicate a broken airlock or a failure in the motorised valve. 

Cold Radiators 

The final point we'd like to mention in this blog post is cold radiators. Cold radiators don't always indicate a problem with your boiler and could simply mean that the radiators throughout your home need bleeding. However, if you've done so and they continue to need bleeding, it could be much greater problem with your boiler/central heating system.
