Although boilers are durable and require relatively little maintenance, they still have mechanical parts that can malfunction in the same ways as other heating equipment like furnaces. Often, a problem with the boiler can lead to a dangerous situation that requires immediate repairs. Fortunately, the professionals at First Choice Heating & Cooling can repair any type of issue and ensure your boiler continues to heat your home safely and efficiently.

If your Boiler Repairs turns on but then shuts off again, this is known as short cycling and can be a sign of a safety system, a clogged air vent, or a low water supply. It can also indicate that your heating elements are burning out or that there is not enough clean combustion air. In either case, a professional will be able to find the root cause and fix it.

Odd Noises

While some popping and rumbling may be normal, excessive kettling or gurgling should not be ignored. This can be a signal that there is limescale build-up, trapped air, or a blockage in your boiler’s heat exchanger, which needs to be addressed quickly.

If your boiler system is struggling to create sufficient pressure or doesn’t generate any at all, it is likely due to a faulty thermostat, corroded pipes, faulty valves or a clogged circulator pump. A professional will need to flush the system and replace any water that is lost in order to address this problem. In some cases, a new circulation pump may be needed as well.
