Boilers have multiple functions. They heat homes, they heat water and they are used in various industrial processes including power generation, food processing, and manufacturing. Whatever the purpose of your boiler, proper function is essential. When things go wrong you need a professional you can trust, such as Ironwood Plumbing, to make boiler repairs and get things back in working order ASAP.

Common Boiler Issues:

• No production of heat or hot water:
  This could be due to a faulty boiler, low pressure, a blocked filter or another issue.
• Leaking boiler:
  Leaks can be caused by high pressure, corrosion, faulty components, loose joints, or even poor installation.
• Noisy boiler:
  Strange noises like gurgling, whistling, or banging can indicate trapped air, a faulty pump, loose components, or even a malfunctioning thermostat or gas valve.
• Low boiler pressure:
  Low pressure can cause the boiler to shut down or malfunction.
• Faulty Thermostat:
  A faulty thermostat can cause the boiler to overheat or not heat water to the desired temperature.
• Kettling:
  Kettling occurs when the boiler overheats due to a buildup of limescale or sludge inside the heat exchanger.
• Pilot light keeps going out:
  The light may go out because of a problem with the gas supply or the pilot light itself.

Boiler Repair vs. Replacement:

Replacing a boiler can be a big investment. Proper maintenance and quality repairs can extend the life of your boiler and save you money.

• Repair: If your boiler is relatively new and the issue is minor, a repair might be the best option.
• Replacement: If your boiler is old and has frequent problems, or if repairs are too costly, replacement might be the better choice.

When deciding whether to repair or replace, a trusted plumbing company is needed. At Ironwood Plumbing we put the needs and well-being of our clients above everything else. We ensure all boiler repairs or replacements fit the needs of our clients and fit into their proposed budget.

Regular Servicing to Avoid Unnecessary Repairs

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your boiler functioning properly. Servicing can identify issues before they develop and completely shut down your boiler. At Ironwood Plumbing we recommend boiler inspection and maintenance every 6 months.

During a typical servicing, a trained technician will take the unit completely apart and clean each element. He will carefully check the gas and air pressure. He will also clean out the storage tank and make sure there is no debris buildup or calcium deposits.

A complete flush of the system ensures that the equipment runs smoothly and avoids future problems for clients. If any issues are found, a recommendation sheet is created that includes proposals for addressing the problem and budgeting ideas for replacement.
