Possibly one of the most obvious of all boiler situations is whenever your gas boiler begins to produce weird sounds, for instance, banging or gurgling.

Loss of pressure in the gas boiler may be an indicator of an issue with your central heating system itself.

An inaccurate thermostat can create several problems, so it is very important to determine a routine schedule (at the very least once a quarter) to be sure that the thermostat is operating as it should. It’s a simple test.
