Common St Helens boiler service problems

Some of the challenges that we often find during boiler services are:

Blocked pressure relief valve

A blocked or broken pressure relief valve can lead to a constant dripping of water from the copper pipe outside.

Automatic air vent

If this has broken, then you will see dripping water or limescale near the vent outside.

Diverter valve

If the diverter valve has broken, the system is stuck on either hot water or central heating. Turning on your hot water taps might make your radiators heat up, and the water that comes out will be lukewarm.

Sludge

If your radiators feel hot at the top and cold at the bottom, then this means it is time for a St Helens central heating powerflush to remove sludge from inside.

Limescale

Limescale building up in central heating pipes is a really common problem, particularly in hard water areas. It can cause an inconsistent water temperature from your taps.

Pump

Pump failure is often caused by sludge. It is catastrophic, as it stops the entire heating system from working at all.
