Central Heating System Problems
- In all of our posts, we frequently recommend everyone to inspect their Central Heating System. So it doesn’t cause any problems during winter. Central Heating Problems usually rise to 20-30% during winter, among them, 25% of Central Heating Problems are caused due to negligence in Inspecting the central heating system nor making sure to prepare the house for staying warm through winter. Check here the common causes of central heating repairs in Birmingham.
- The Central Heating System consists of Radiator, Boiler, Air Duct, Air Circulation System, Water heater etc… Whatever helps you stay warm during winter comes under the Central Heating System category.
- Radiators are among the vital parts of a household to make the members of a household stay warm during winter, the problem that occurs in radiators is usually the “Sludge Formation Nor Wear and Tear”. If you’re thinking, How long does it take to form Sludge within the radiator? Considering the water quality in Birmingham has both hard water and soft water, the formation of sludge within the radiator differs based on the area you’re in. Check our blog post about Radiator Power Flushing in Birmingham to learn more about Sludge Formation.
- Boilers usually come with multiple problems that shouldn’t be overlooked, even a growling sound coming from a boiler does point out the seriousness of boiler issues. Yet few households neglect it until the issue escalates and damages the boiler as well as members of the family. Here are the certain reasons on “Why should you service your boiler during summer?”
- When the Air Circulation is affected, you may immediately detect the heat differential in the room temperature throughout the home. If you notice a temperature differential in one area, there might be an Air Duct leak or problem in Air Circulation in the house. This leads to suffocation within the house or increased room temperature within specific places inside the household. On the other hand, it also increases the energy bill (click here to know more).
Low Water Pressure
- There are several probable causes of low water pressure. If a pipe in your house leaks, you will experience low water pressure. Turn off all faucets, check your water meter, and wait a few hours without using water to look for leaks. If your water meter fluctuates, you most likely have a leak.
- Another possible reason is mineral and sediment buildup in the pipes or the faucet aerators and showerheads. This build-up inhibits the flow of water, resulting in low water pressure.
- ESBAH Local Plumbers in Birmingham can easily fix this by contacting the local water board to check the water distribution system before getting into the next stage of checking “if there is any leak within your plumbing system”
Burst Pipes
- Water expands when it freezes, putting great strain on pipes, converting a frozen pipe to a burst pipe until they can no longer transport the ice.
- Frozen and burst pipes are common in unheated areas, especially if your central heating system is not linked in some areas of your home, such as the basement or garage. Pipes with no insulation, whether metal or plastic, are particularly vulnerable.
- Water retained in an unused pipe outside the home or within the home where the central heating system is not connected is the most common cause of a burst pipe. If it isn’t emptied before winter, the water inside it freezes, expands, and pushes the water toward the faucet, causing immense pressure to build up between the ice blockage inside the pipe and the faucet. Due to the pressure increase, the pipe ultimately explodes. The rupture usually occurs at the pipe’s weakest section, which hasn’t been maintained in a long time and has rust built up inside it.
