Common Boiler Problems We Fix in Bristol Homes
Bristol properties often present specific boiler repair challenges, and our engineers are familiar with these local issues. Typical problems we resolve include:
- No heating or no hot water: A complete loss of heating or hot water, often caused by faulty components or system blockages.
- Pressure dropping after radiator bleeding: Many homes in Southville and Knowle have mixed radiator sizes, which can cause pressure drops that need professional topping up or leak detection.
- Fault codes on digital displays: Modern boilers in Clifton’s Georgian homes may show error codes related to sensors or ignition failures.
- Leaks: Older pipework in Victorian terraces around Redland and Cotham can develop leaks that require prompt attention.
- Strange noises such as kettling: Limescale build-up common in Bristol’s hard water areas can cause banging or whistling noises in combi boilers.
- Intermittent hot water supply: Common in combi systems where water flow sensors or valves may malfunction.
If you’re facing any of these issues, don’t delay — call Heat Excel Limited on 01934 784046 for dependable boiler repairs tailored to Bristol homes.
What to Do Before We Arrive — Safety First
Before our engineer visits, you can take a few simple steps that might resolve minor faults or help us diagnose the problem faster. Please follow these safety guidelines carefully:
- Check your boiler pressure gauge: If it’s below 1 bar, you may need to repressurise the system. Consult your boiler manual for instructions.
- Reset the boiler: Most boilers have a reset button — try this once, but avoid repeated resets.
- Check your thermostat settings: Ensure it’s set to a temperature higher than the current room temperature.
- Bleed radiators carefully: If you’ve recently bled radiators and noticed pressure drop, top up the system pressure.
Important: If you ever smell gas or suspect a gas leak, do not attempt any repairs or switches. Leave the property immediately and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999.
