Boiler Repairs

Boiler repairs are necessary to address various issues that can arise over time. Common problems include:

Low Pressure – This can lead to inefficient heating and is often caused by leaks, bleeding radiators, or malfunctioning components
Leaks – Water leaks can occur in the boiler or from connected pipes, often due to corrosion or faulty seals
No Heat or Hot Water – This can occur as a result of a broken diaphragm, airlocks in the system, valve failures, or thermostat issues
Strange Noises – Banging, gurgling, or whistling may indicate air has gotten into the system, the water pressure has dropped, or the pump is damaged
Pilot Light Issues – If the pilot light goes out frequently, it may be due to a broken thermocouple, a draught, or a buildup of deposits

Addressing these issues promptly via professional repairs ensures that your boiler operates safely and efficiently, reducing the risk of more significant problems or breakdowns.

Call Today For New Boiler Installations

There are, however, several reasons homeowners might consider installing a boiler replacement rather than repairs:

Age and Efficiency

Older boilers are less efficient and prone to breakdowns, which can result in higher utility bills and repair costs. Modern boiler installations significantly reduce energy use and offer long-term reliability. If your boiler requires frequent repairs, replacing it may be more cost-effective.

Upgrading for Capacity

Larger homes or homes with additional bathrooms may require a boiler with a greater capacity. If you plan a property conversion or extension to accommodate a growing family or lifestyle change, please get in touch with Riviera Heating to discuss your options.

Switching to a Different Type

Depending on your needs, you may wish to switch from a conventional boiler to a combi boiler or a system boiler. If you’re unsure which will work best for your household, our team is happy to offer advice based on our 30+ years of industry experience.

If you choose a new boiler installation, we’ll assess your Kingswood property’s heating needs, recommend the most suitable options, and provide a detailed quotation outlining the costs of the boiler and replacement. Once the old boiler has been safely removed and the new boiler installed, the system will be thoroughly tested to ensure it operates correctly and safely. Our Gas Safe engineers will also ensure you’re provided with instructions on use and maintenance.

The Importance of Regular Boiler Maintenance

Going forward, maintaining your new boiler installation is crucial for several reasons:

Compliance – Regular servicing may be a condition of home insurance policies
Efficiency – Regular maintenance ensures boilers operate at peak efficiency
Reliability – Well-maintained boiler installations are less likely to break down
Safety – Regular checks can identify safety issues, i.e. gas leaks or carbon monoxide
Longevity – Maintenance can delay the need for costly boiler replacements
