Gas boilers are designed to provide safe and reliable
service for many years, requiring only annual servicing in doing so. But once a
boiler has reached the end of its useful service life, there are several
symptoms you might notice that are letting you know that it could be on its way
out.
As qualified gas engineers in Sheffield who provide a range
of heating related services to businesses and homeowners, we can quickly tell
you whether your gas boiler needs to be replaced as well as provide you with
the installation of a new one.
1.
Your Boiler is Constantly Breaking Down
No gas boiler should be breaking down so frequently that it
requires constant repairs and attention. If your boiler is serviced once every
year but is still developing faults that require the call out of a boiler
technician, it is time to consider replacing it.
A new gas boiler will be much more reliable and alleviate
the need for constant maintenance.
2.
Your Boiler is Making Unusual Noises
Your boiler is tasked with heating water for both your hot
water supply as well as to any radiators present in the property. To do this
job, it will produce noise emissions created by the ignition of its pilot light
as well as regulating its pressure levels.
The trouble comes with noises that are out of the ordinary.
Any loud bangs or groans signify that your boiler might be close to suffering a
terminal failure, requiring the installation of a new one.
3.
Your Boiler isn’t Heating Water Properly
A gas boiler that is working well should be able to heat
water on demand. If your boiler is taking longer than usual to provide hot
water to your radiators or to the taps within your home, it could be a sign of
an issue with the boilers thermostat or its ability to regulate its pressure.
If this fault can’t be repaired by an engineer, boiler
replacement is the only option.
4.
Your Boiler is Old
Older boilers are far more prone to faults and failures than
newer models. If your boiler is more than 10 years old or you’re not sure when
it was last replaced, it might be worth pre-emptively replacing it.
Parts for older boilers can become obsolete making them more
difficult to repair. In addition, newer boilers are much more efficient and
could save you money in reduced running costs.
5.
Your Boiler is Leaking
If the plumbing supplying gas and water to your boiler are
leaking or the boiler is leaking itself, you should get it seen to immediately.
Depending on the diagnosis, you might have a boiler that has experience a
terminal failure and requires replacement.
