8 COMMON BOILER
PROBLEMS

2. Leaks can cause a
loss of boiler
pressure. So too can
problems with the
pressure relief valve
or the expansion
vessel.
1. PRESSURE LOSS

3. Kettling is caused by
limescale being
present on the heat
exchange. In areas
with hard
water, rumbling
noises and bubbles of
heat will signify
kettling.
2. KETTLING PROBLEMS

4. Strange sounds
usually signify some
kind of problem
within the system.
Kettling can create
these noises, but air
present in the
system can also
make this happen.
3. WEIRD SOUNDS!

5. We can all identify
with the cold radiator
problem! This could
be due to blocked
pipework or a
defective pump. Your
system might also
need “bleeding”.
4. COLD RADIATORS

6. There is a number of
reasons why your
boiler might be
leaking, including
the wearing and
corrosion of pipes. If
your system is
leaking, contact
Heppelthwaite.
5. LEAKS

7. Electrical equipment
can develop faults
over time, and a
boiler’s thermostat
is no different. If it
is reading the wrong
temperatures, your
system won’t be
working efficiently.
6. FAULTY THERMOSTAT

8. Many of the issues in
this list contribute to a
non-functioning
system, and therefore
no not water or heating.
Other potential reasons
for lack of heat are air
locks, blockages, and
valve problems.
7. LACK OF HOT WATER & HEATING

9. With the UK winters
becoming more
harsh, the
condensation pipes on
boilers are more
susceptible to snow
and ice.
8. FROZEN PIPES
