How do I diagnose a boiler problem?

Attempting to diagnose a boiler problem yourself is extremely dangerous. The best way to determine if it needs repair is to have a service technician visit who can safely diagnose the issue.

Should I repair or replace my boiler?

Boilers are complex pieces of equipment. We recommend consulting a heating expert to help you make the decision.

What can cause a boiler to stop working?

Boilers can stop working for many reasons. The cause could be anything from a simple thermostat that needs replacing to more complicated internal components such as valves, the diaphragm in the expansion tank, airlock, and more.

How do I know it’s time to repair a boiler?

A unit that’s more than 15 years old, has already broken down, makes loud or unusual noises, leaks or fails to heat a room properly may be in need of repair service.

How do I know if I need a boiler repair service?

Even the best-built boiler will need a repair at some point. If yours is more than 15 years old or if you’re experiencing any of the issues below, it may be time to call a licensed technician.

Higher costs: A spike in your monthly energy bills may be a sign your boiler isn’t operating at peak efficiency.
Inconsistent temperature: A swing in temperature or lack of heat in some rooms could mean your unit is malfunctioning.
Leaks: When a boiler leaks, it’s likely reaching the end of its life. You may need to have it replaced to avoid a breakdown or prevent flooding.
Discolouration: If you see black soot or yellow flames on the burners, the fuel may not be burning properly. You may also be at risk of carbon monoxide exposure.
