1. 🔊 Strange Noises (Banging, Gurgling, Whistling)
If your boiler sounds like a kettle boiling or keeps banging, it might be due to air in the system or limescale buildup. Time to get it checked.
2. 💡 Pilot Light Keeps Going Out
If the pilot light or flame is orange or keeps cutting out, this could be a safety issue. It may also mean poor gas flow or a faulty thermocouple.
3. 🌡️ Heating or Hot Water Isn’t Consistent
If your radiators are cold or your water temperature keeps changing, your boiler could be under pressure, blocked, or struggling.
4. 💧 Leaks or Damp Patches
A leaking boiler is never a good sign. It may be a sign of internal damage, broken seals, or corrosion that needs urgent attention.
5. 🚨 You Can’t Remember Your Last Service
Boilers should be serviced once every 12 months — especially if you’re a landlord or under warranty. It ensures safety and compliance with Gas Safe regulations.
