A leaking boiler can indicate issues such as a broken seal, corrosion, or high pressure. Though it might not be as urgent in the summer, it’s still important to address any leaks right away to avoid further costly damage.
It’s not always necessary to turn your boiler off completely. Many modern boilers have a summer mode that uses minimal energy. However, if you do decide to turn it off, be sure to run it briefly every few weeks to keep it in working order. Lastly, don’t forget to schedule your annual boiler tune-up with Ashton Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning to keep your system running efficiently!
While some minor issues, like resetting your boiler or bleeding a radiator, are safe to handle, most boiler repairs should be left to the certified heating experts at Ashton Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning instead. This way, you can ensure the safety of your boiler and yourself, of course!
Loss of pressure in your boiler can happen when there’s a small leak, faulty valve, or issue with the expansion vessel. You’ll need to have your boiler inspected by our heating pros to keep your system running effectively, no matter the season.
Your boiler may be powering on in the summertime due to the unit maintaining proper water pressure or keeping itself active to prevent stagnation. If it’s happening frequently, though, it might need a professional inspection. Call (604) 373-6522 to discuss your options and schedule an expert boiler repair today.
There are quite a few signs that your boiler is in need of repair services, but the most common signs and symptoms of a broken boiler include:
Leaking from your boiler is never a good sign and must be professionally addressed by immediately. If your boiler is leaking, this can oftentimes result in the boiler bursting, which can be catastrophic to the rest of your home or business. If you notice any kind of leaking around your unit, you will need to have a professional assess your boiler right away.
Circulation issues within your boiler can often cause delays in heating up your home, which is both inconvenient and a sign that there’s a larger issue at play that could easily progress. If your boiler takes significantly longer than normal to heat your house, call our team to have it inspected and repaired.
Any power issues in regards to your boiler are never a good sign and a major indication that something is wrong with your system. If your boiler is constantly turning on and off at random, or it does not actually produce heat after you have turned it on, there is an issue that will need to be assessed by a professional technician.
If you notice foul, metallic odors emitting around your boiler, you may have a dangerous situation on your hands. Gas suppliers will typically add a sulfur-type smell to your boiler upon installation to help alert you in the event of a gas leak. If you smell a sulfur-type smell, this is due to a carbon monoxide leak, which can be extremely dangerous. If you smell anything odd coming from your boiler, it is crucial that you call us right away to avoid a potential carbon monoxide leak.
If you hear loud, clanging, or banging noises coming from your boiler, you will need to call for help right away! This usually means either the boiler’s heater pump is broken, the heat exchanger is damaged, or there is a blockage in the unit. No matter the case, you will need to have your boiler repaired by an expert before the issue progresses.
Circulation issues within your boiler can often cause delays in heating up your home, which is both inconvenient and a sign that there is a larger issue at play. If your boiler takes significantly longer than normal to heat your house, call us to have it repaired.
It’s important to always take the age of your boiler into consideration when it comes to repairs. If you suspect something may be wrong with your boiler and your boiler is older, then you should have it repaired as soon as possible to prevent a larger issue and possible replacement.
