Boiler Repairs
Having boiler repairs? We can help fix your boilers with a minimal down time. Boiler is likely to be one of the most expensive appliances in your home. If not maintained properly, it may impose huge fines in the form of boiler replacement and boiler installation costs. According to experts, irrespective of the severity of the fault, boiler repairs are to be carried out immediately to prevent future complications. Boilers are equipped with certain control mechanisms that produce and distribute heat and hot water. Minor faults in these mechanisms may lead to low or no performance from the boiler. Simple checks and minor boiler repairs might help your boiler get back to normal. Some of the most common boiler repairs are: Time Switches: Most boilers are driven by mechanical time switches that control on/off of the boiler. If the mechanical timer dial is stuck, it may lead to uneven heat distribution. This is one of those minor problems which can cause major inconveniences. You can fix this problem yourself by adjusting the timer clock to its normal settings. Freezing pipes: During extreme cold weathers, condensing pipes of even the best combi boiler can freeze. This blockage can cause the condensate to flow back forcing the boiler to stop functioning. When the condensing pipe freezes, a ‘fault code’ or a ‘warning light’ can be observed along with peculiar noises from the boiler and the condensing pipe. You can avoid this problem by adjusting your thermostat or heat timer to continuous mode. In the event of blockage, pour hot water on the pipe or replace the pipe with one having a...Knocking Noise Coming From Radiators – How to fix the problem?
Knocking Noise Coming From Radiators ? We can help you. Here are some of the causes. This is one of the most common problems faced by homeowners. Air trapped inside the radiator, or the limescale building up on the radiator metal from inside, are the two most common reasons behind this problem. Here is how you can fix a knocking noise coming from radiators. Letting Air Out Of the Radiator You can let the air out of the radiator by allowing it to bleed. First of all, you will have to locate the highest bleeder valve on your radiator. It looks like a hex nut with a head that has a little spout. In some cases, the nut is equipped with a special head that requires a special tool to unscrew, which can be bought in your local DIY store. Before opening the bleed valve, turn the radiator ‘on’ for about an hour. This will ensure the system is heated up thoroughly and builds up enough pressure. Now turn the boiler ‘off’. Place a bucket directly under the bleed valve on the floor and slowly unscrew it. You will have to be very careful while doing this, as the radiator and water in it are still hot. As soon as you unscrew the valve, air, along with water starts coming out with a sputtering like sound. After sometime, when you no longer hear a knocking noise coming from radiators and the water starts flowing smoothly, close the valve. Turn on the radiator and check for the knocking and banging sounds. If they still persist, repeat the process again. Power Flushing...Boiler Breakdown
