Chilly Weather Can Overwork A Boiler in Town like London

January 11, 2016 - PRESSADVANTAGE -

London, UK – Besides keeping themselves comfortable with high-quality clothing and winter coats, Londoners are well-versed in boiler issues. In order to help London residents, LB Plumbing and Heating (www.lbplumbingandheating.com) has just published a new blog post authored by Ray le Blanc entitled 'Know When You’ll Need a Repair or Full Boiler Replacement in London'.

The article discusses how 'a fairly sturdy hot water boiler is designed to last long enough—an average of about ten to fifteen years and that although natural wear and tear will take its toll no amount of repairs can help restore them to their former efficient performance when they’re past their prime'.

“If you notice either one or several of these problems occurring,” stated Anthony, a customer who had used Ray on a boiler repair, “you’re better off calling a local London boiler replacement or repair specialist to assess the state of your boiler before deciding on a replacement.”

The article further discusses how no heat indicates that a 'boiler must be experiencing issues like broken diaphragms and airlocks, motorised valve failure, thermostat issue, or low water levels'. The article also discusses that when 'the pilot light goes out, the issue may be a broken thermocouple (the component which controls gas flow to the pilot light), air drafts seeping in through a door, window, or walls, or a dirty pilot light assembly'.

“Boilers aren’t exactly quiet, but you can easily distinguish their normal operational sounds from unusual ones,” Ray relates. “Banging, whistling, or gurgling noises are typically caused by excess air inside the system, inadequate water pressure, or kettling (refers to an accumulation of hard-water deposits inside the boiler). If you have a noisy, older boiler system, then you might be dealing with pump failure.”
