Would you set off on a long road trip without checking your car’s air pressure on all tires and the engine oil? Definitely no. similarly, it’s a wise idea to exercise the same maintenance instinct before you put your home’s central heating system in use especially during the cold winter months.
Norwich Central Heating Repairs
Most homes in the United Kingdom depend on central heating to stay warm and have enough supply of hot water. While these systems seem reliable and strong, they need attention from time to time just like all mechanical equipment. Thus, you should hire a certified professional to inspect your central heating, identify any problem, and solve it long before it becomes a disaster. Keep in mind that routine central heating inspection and repair as well as cleaning the key components of the central heating will keep the system operating efficiently.
Gas Safe Heating Experts
At Boiler Repair Norwich, we have engineers who understand different central heating problems and how to fix them. If you aren’t getting hot water from your taps or the available water isn’t hot enough (the expected level), then, something is terribly wrong. Our engineers will perform the following checks to find out what would be wrong with your central heating.
- Is the power going to the boiler?
- Is the thermostat turned down?
- Is the pilot light on?
- They will turn the boiler off and then back on to see if there is any change.
- Has the time been set correctly?
- The engineers will also try to find out if there is any problem with the water tank.
- Lastly they will check the piping to make sure that it’s in perfect working condition
Radiator Cold Spots
Another common problem that affects central heating is presence of cold spots on the radiators. These cold spot are caused by cold air that might be trapped within the system. Trapped air in a central heating system is known as an air lock and inhibits even distribution of heat throughout the radiator. Our engineers know how to deal with air locks and get your system back to normal. Therefore, if you realise that your radiators feel cold at the top and cold at the bottom, then, contact us immediately.
Low Water Pressure
Low water pressure indicates that there is a problem in your central heating. Keep in mind that your boiler system needs a constant water pressure for it to run efficiently. In most cases, a leak in the pipe work is a major cause of low water pressure. Note that tiny raptures can be hard to detect but they have a significant impact on the water pressure. Our engineers have the necessary tools to detect even the negligible pipe leaks.
Common Problems
Other problems that affect central heating systems include;
- Different radiator temperatures
- Temperamental thermostats
- Faulty programmers
- Disappearance of the pilot light
- Boiler faults
- Frozen pipes
