Warning signs you need a new boiler

A healthy heating system doesn’t release nasty smells so if you’re experiencing this, get in touch immediately and we will help you quickly and efficiently getting your boiler back to full health!

Did you know 1 in 10 adults have experienced some level of a carbon monoxide leak in their home?

Is your boiler leaking?

Is water is starting to form into a puddle underneath the boiler? This usually indicates a seal or valve has broken and if left could result in the rusting of other components around the boiler as well as damaging the flooring under the boiler.

This problem shouldn’t be ignored and it can escalate fast leaving you with multiple bills to be paid. Never try and repair a water leak yourself since this could lead to further damage instead call us and we will be there to help you with your boiler replacement!

Do you hear strange noises coming from the boiler?

Banging or popping noises from the direction of the boiler could point to a build-up of limescale, debris, or rust which would affect the efficiency of the boiler’s overall performance. Hot spots will form and the journey of heating your home will be hugely impacted.
