1. No Hot Water – Essentially, your gas boiler isn’t doing its job anytime this happens, and there are a few probable reasons.

• An airlock or diaphragm is damaged.
• There is a low level of water.
• There can be something not right with the thermostat.
• One of the motorised valves has failed.

The easiest and first points that you can inspect are the thermostat and the boilers water pressure. If it is one of these issues then follow the gas boiler manufacturers guidelines for fixing these situations. If it is not any of the above then you ought to call a Gas Safe registered and qualified boiler engineer to investigate the issue safely.

2. Your Boiler Is Dripping Or Leaking

Drips and leaks are a common indicator of a likely far more significant issue, but except when you are trained to do so you shouldn’t have a go at to figure out the issue for yourself. Many of the reasons for the boiler to be having leaks or drips will require an authorised boiler engineer to fix them. Leaks and drips are frequently due to a malfunctioning pressure valve or pump seal. After it is repaired, you may have to lower your boiler’s pressure, the gas engineer will gladly advise you on how to do it.

3. Strange Noises Coming From Your Boiler

Possibly one of the most obvious of all boiler situations is when your gas boiler begins to produce weird sounds, for instance, banging or gurgling. It’s very likely that air is trapped inside the heating system is the problem, but it could possibly also result from low water pressure. However, the issue can also be more serious, like the boiler getting to the end of its life and you need a new boiler fitted.

4. Pilot Light Is Not Lit

The remedy for an extinguished pilot light is very easy, simply relight it. But right before doing that you need to take a look at the heating system to establish if there is a more dangerous problem first. Problems you might discover include:

• A close by draft putting out the light.
• Build up near or around the {pilot}light that extinguishes it.
• The supply of gas could be halted by a thermocouple that needs repair.

If you do find something that you think could be an issue then you need to speak to your local gas engineer to investigate and if called for repair before you make an attempt to relight the pilot light.

5. Boiler Has Low Pressure

Loss of pressure in the gas boiler may be an indication of an issue with your central heating system itself. You can easily check out the pressure of the boiler by taking a look at the gauge and checking that it is more than 1. If it is not, then there is an issue someplace inside your central heating system which needs to get checked out by an authorised gas engineer.

6. Problems With The Thermostat

An inaccurate thermostat may create several issues, so it is very important to determine a routine schedule (at minimum once a quarter) to be sure that the thermostat is working as it should. It’s a simple test. You simply start by making sure the thermostat is placed in the proper position and has the right setting and that the boiler switches off if you decrease the temperature setting and then back on once more if you raise the temperature setting.
