Your boiler won’t last forever. If you’ve been having issues with heating and hot water, it might be time for boiler repairs. Having this appliance serviced as soon as possible significantly prolongs its life, and it saves you from shelling out a small fortune for repairs. Even if it doesn’t completely break down, a malfunctioning boiler may inefficiently and raise your energy bill or may seize to work at all leaving you without heat and hot water. If you notice any of the following three signs, get in touch with an expert for repairs.

3 Signs You Need Boiler Repair

1. Poor Heating

One of the most recognizable signs that your boiler is malfunctioning is the delayed heating of your water and your home. Hot water should be readily available when you turn on the tap, and heating should be evenly distributed around your house throughout the day.

Although there could be other culprits, such as frigid weather, or a thermostat that’s set too low, a perceptible change in heating efficiency warrants a maintenance check. Set an appointment with a professional heating contractor at the earliest opportunity to avoid the possibility of a total breakdown.

2. Your Water Pressure is Lower Than Normal

If you’re experiencing low water pressure, you should first check your main water line to determine if there’s a blockage or leak within your house or building. If your main water line doesn’t show any problems, a weak stream of water coming out of your tap could indicate an issue with your boiler pressure. Call for boiler repairs if the pressure gauge shows a value below one.

3. Your Boiler is Making Strange Noises

Strange noises coming from the boiler is another indicator of a problem. These could range from a pesky hissing sound to an alarming banging or clunking noise. Possible causes include an accumulation of deposits, a faulty fan, or a damaged heat pump. This problem won’t fix itself, so call a professional for comprehensive boiler repairs.
