Think your industrial boiler is starting to show signs of wear and tear? In this helpful guide, we highlight important signs that you may need boiler replacement or repair services as well as offer advice on how Guardian Gas Ltd can assist you in the event of a breakdown.
Water Leaks
Should you begin to see signs of water or potentially even puddles of water around your boiler tank, there’s a strong possibility you will require either boiler replacement or repair. Designed as a strict, closed-loop system, water should categorically not escape from your boiler. If this does happen, it’s a sign of a potentially serious issue and should be assessed by a professional at the earliest opportunity. By contacting our team at Guardian Gas Ltd, you can be safe in the knowledge that all repair works will be carried out by our trained, Gas Safe registered engineers.
Strange Noises
Though it’s nothing to be overly concerned about, (don’t worry, your boiler isn’t going to explode!) A malfunctioning boiler system that’s in need of servicing, repair or replacement is likely to make a whole host of strange noises, as it vocalises an issue that’s placing strain on its natural efficiency levels. Strange noises can be heard for a number of issues, ranging from the simple to the severe, with many boiler systems requiring cleaning, as opposed to serious repair works. However, it’s best to have your boiler assessed by a professional should you hear strange noises, as it could be an early warning sign for a potentially expensive breakdown in the future.
Bad Smells
Make no mistake; bad or unusual smells coming from your boiler are never a good sign and should be addressed by a professional immediately. If your boiler is electric, you may smell burning plastic or metal, whilst if it’s gas, you may smell something similar but with the additional aroma of rotten eggs. Rotten egg smells are a serious problem, often highlighting a potential gas leak in the system. If you smell something unusual, shut your boiler off and contact your gas supplier immediately.
High Bills
An easy sign to spot, an issue with your boiler will typically lead to an increase in your energy use, with efficiency levels on the decline. This will make it more expensive to heat your home sufficiently costing you far more in the long term, potentially even outweighing the costs of servicing, repair or replacement.
