It’s an undeniable fact that Boilers are important in every household, so make sure your boilers are working in good condition throughout the year.

Here 5 warning signs to be aware of for boiler servicing
Boiler Leak
- Boiler leak is one of the common issues with boilers, it happens due to damaged parts within the boiler or corrosion within the boiler. The cause of the leak can vary based on where it’s leaking from, sometimes it can be valve or seal too.
- If you notice a boiler leak, do turn off the main circuit and inform ESBAH Gas Safe Registered engineers to help you with the boiler leak.
- As the leak not only damages the flooring, it also affects the nearby electric system. So do not try to DIY or remove the casing to find where it is leaking.

Low Boiler Pressure
- There are several reasons to understand the cause of low boiler pressure, it can be due to a boiler leak or a faulty pressure relief valve. The Boiler pressure can be easily diagnosed as soon as you reach out to ESBAH Gas Safe registered engineers.
- Incase you have low boiler pressure, you can easily identify them with the pressure gauge. If your boiler pressure needle is within the green line, then the pressure level is stable. If your boiler pressure needle is in the redline which is below the green line, it clearly indicates you have low boiler pressure.
- Once you have identified that you have low boiler pressure, shut down everything within the house and move out until the local esbah gas safe registered engineers arrive and fix it.

Frozen Condensate Pipe
- Every type of boiler has a condensate pipeline which helps transfer the acidic water to the outer drain line. This condensate pipeline usually gets frozen if it isn’t insulated or open to cold during winter.
- You can fix this problem by insulating the pipeline and making sure to keep the pipeline warm if it gets frozen due to winter.
- Once the condensate pipeline is frozen, the boiler might stop working for a while unless the acidic water block is released. You can contact ESBAH local gas safe registered engineer to help you with it anytime.

Kettling Noise
- The most common reason for vibrating, banging, gurgling, or whistling noises from your boiler is likely air formation within the boiler or faulty pump or low water pressure too.
- In some cases, there is a high possibility of sludge buildup, if you’re living in a hard water region. These sludge build ups are usually formed by frequent water flow and usage.
- If you hear a noise coming from the boiler, don’t ignore it. Depending on what sort of sound and where it’s coming from, the boiler problem may vary.
Boiler Breakdown
- Most of the boilers are given a warranty for 8-15years, yet due to climatic conditions and avoiding yearly inspection reduces the lifespan of boiler.
- The problems we mentioned above usually happen in every boiler as long as it isn’t inspected every year. Once those boiler problems are disregarded and unmaintained, it can force you to replace your boiler which might cost you more than just repairing.
- If you believe repairing is better than replacement, make sure to inspect them every year before winter and maintain the boiler for increased efficiency.
