Frequently Asked Questions About Boiler Repair

What is a regular boiler?

A regular boiler, also called a conventional or heat-only boiler, requires a separate hot water cylinder, a cold water storage tank (usually in the loft), and an expansion tank (often in the loft) to function. It's a more traditional system best suited for properties with pre-existing tanks or where maintaining consistent water pressure is essential.

What is a magnetic filter for a boiler?

A magnetic filter is a device installed on your heating system to capture ferrous metal particles that can accumulate over time. By removing these fine particles, magnetic filters protect your heating system and prolong its life. Consider getting one installed during your next boiler service.

Why is my boiler making a banging noise?

Banging noises can be caused by air in the system (requiring bleeding), scale buildup (kettles), or low water pressure. More serious causes, like a faulty pump or a problem with the heat exchanger, need prompt attention by a professional.

Why is my boiler leaking?

Several reasons can cause boiler leaks, including a broken pressure relief valve, a corroded heat exchanger, loose pipe connections, or a faulty pump seal. A qualified technician can pinpoint the cause and provide an appropriate solution.
