The winter is just around the corner and now is the time to make sure that your heating system is running at peak performance. In order to assess the state of your heating unit you will need to let a professional come in and take a look at it. They will be able to thoroughly inspect the unit that you have and make sure that there are no repair issues that need to be addressed. Although having an inspection and maintenance help, you will still have to deal with unexpected repair issues from time to time. Here are a few of the most common issues that will lead to boiler service in Gloucester home.
Out Pilot Light
One of the most common issues that you will have to deal with in relation to your boiler is an out pilot light. The pilot light is the spark that your boiler needs to start the heating process and without it you will not be able to keep warm. Generally an out pilot light is caused by a bad thermo coupling and the only way that you can get this fixed is by replacing it altogether. By hiring a professional, you can ensure that the job is done correctly and quickly.
Radiators Not Getting Hot
Another very common problem that you will run across with your boiler unit is the radiators refusing to get hot. This is commonly caused by the inside of the radiator being clogged up by corrosion. Over time, the more and more that you use your heating system, the more corrosion that will occur in the vital parts of your unit. Eventually, this corrosion will surface and will usually require you to completely replace it. Before you go tearing out the radiators, be sure to get the opinion of a seasoned professional.
Constantly Cutting Off
Yet another common issue that you may come across with your boiler system is it constantly shutting on and off. This can cause a lot of problems and can make it nearly impossible to get your home warm like you need it. In order to get this problem fixed, you will need to let a professional replace the low pressure switch in the unit. This is a relatively easy job if you have the experience and will allow you to heat your home like you need to in a matter of a few hours.
