Boiler Breakdown Bishopton

Strathclyde Services provides a boiler breakdown service to clients across Bishopton.

A boiler is a critical component of your home, especially during the colder months. Keeping an eye out for signs of potential breakdown can help you avoid an inconvenient and potentially costly situation. Here are some common signals that your boiler might be in trouble.

Inconsistent Heating: This is one of the most common signs of a boiler problem. If you notice that some rooms in your home are warmer than others, or if the heat fluctuates unpredictably, your boiler may not be functioning properly.

Strange Noises: Boilers typically operate quietly. If you start hearing unusual noises - such as banging, whistling, or gurgling - it's likely a sign that something isn't right. These noises can indicate a variety of problems, such as low water pressure, air in the system, or a faulty pump.

Leaks: Any form of leakage is a clear indicator of a problem. Water leaks can cause significant damage to your home and should be addressed immediately.

Rising Energy Bills: If your energy bills have been steadily increasing without a corresponding increase in usage, your boiler may not be heating efficiently. This could be due to age, lack of maintenance, or a more serious underlying issue.

Pilot Light Problems: The pilot light should always burn blue. If it's yellow or orange, or keeps going out, this could indicate a problem with the gas supply or venting.

Age: Boilers typically last around 10-15 years. If yours is older than that, it may be more prone to breakdowns and less efficient.

If you notice any of these signs, it's essential to get your boiler checked by a professional. Regular maintenance can also help catch issues early and prolong the life of your boiler and prevents boiler breakdown.
