Signs Your Boiler Needs Our Repair Services
- Banging noises coming from the boiler: This is a sign of cavitation, which happens when steam bubbles pop and air or water rush in to take its place. Your boiler should not be running hot enough to create steam bubbles, so cavitation is a sign that something is malfunctioning.
- Gurgling noises coming from the boiler: The boiler's condensation trap is designed to prevent small steam bubbles from getting caught in the hot water supply, but if the trap is not functioning properly, the steam bubbles create a gurgling sound.
- Uneven heating: If the heating in your home seems to be uneven, this is a sign that your boiler is malfunctioning. Some causes of uneven heating include clogged pipes, pipes with insufficient insulation, faulty condensate traps, and more.
- Rust on the boiler: A rusty boiler indicates leakage caused by a faulty valve. Valves can become damaged from a variety of issues, such as too much pressure and impurities in the boiler water. Damage to valves could be catastrophic if the safety valve were to stick or malfunction, and pressure build-up could eventually lead to an explosion in drastic cases.
- Unusually high gas bills: If you notice an unusually high gas bill, this can be a sign that your boiler has a gas leak. Gas leaks are serious emergencies and should be handled by experts as quickly as possible.
- Pilot light that glows yellow: Yellow pilot lights mean that your boiler has too much natural gas and not enough oxygen. Without the appropriate amount of oxygen, combustion becomes inefficient, producing soot that can damage boiler valves and ductwork.
