How to know whether you need boiler repair or replacement

If you have an issue with your boiler, you are probably wondering whether to repair it or just get a new one. Well, what you need to take into account is the age of your appliance and whether you ever had any problems with it in the past.

The most cost-effective solution is to repair it, of course, especially if the boiler is relatively new. The problem is probably a minor one and could be easily repaired by a professional.

However, an old boiler is much more likely to cause you problems now and then, especially if it’s out of warranty. In this case, we recommend that you switch to a newer model that is less likely to cause you issues that can result in dangerous situations in the future.

Your plumbing & gas boiler systems are essential to the smooth operation of your property, and even minor issues can cause major inconveniences. That’s why Swansea Plumbers & Boilers offers a wide range of Emergency plumbing & gas boiler services designed to handle everything from small repairs to large installations.

Heating is a crucial part of any home or business, and our skilled gas boiler heating engineers in Swansea are here to ensure your system operates safely and efficiently.

What boiler repair issues we can fix

You may have identified the issue yourself but it’s always best to trust a certified engineer to inspect the appliance and investigate the problem. Here is a short list of the most common boiler problems we’ve dealt with throughout the years.

• The boiler is constantly switching off

• There is no hot water or heat in the property

• The boiler is leaking

• The condensate pipe is frozen

• The panel is displaying various error codes

• Frequent banging noises coming from the boiler

Any boiler needs to be efficient and suitable for your home situation.

What to Do in a Plumbing Emergency

If you’re experiencing a plumbing emergency in Swansea, the first step is to call our team immediately.

Burst Pipe or Leak

In the event of a burst pipe or leak, locate your mains stopcock and shut off the water supply by turning the stopcock clockwise until it cannot turn further. This will stop water from entering your plumbing system. However, any water already in the system may continue to leak. For radiator leaks or central heating pipe bursts, water may continue flowing until the system is emptied. To minimize further damage, place a bucket or towels around the leak and replace them as needed.

If you have a standard boiler system with a cold water storage cistern (usually in the loft), water may continue leaking until the storage tank empties. If this is the case, close the gate valve near the tank. If this doesn’t stop the flow, open all hot taps to help drain the tank.

What to Do in a Gas Emergency

If you smell gas or suspect a gas leak, take immediate action:

1. Shut off the gas supply using the emergency control valve at the meter (only if it’s safe to do so).

2. Avoid smoking, lighting matches, or using lighters.

3. Do not turn electrical appliances on or off.

4. Open all windows and doors to ventilate the property and leave the premises immediately.

5. Call Swansea Plumbers & Boilers or another qualified Gas Safe Engineer.

Do not turn the gas supply back on until a Gas Safe Registered Engineer has given the all-clear.

What to Do in a Carbon Monoxide Emergency

A Carbon Monoxide (CO) leak is a serious emergency. If your CO alarm starts beeping, do not ignore it. Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide poisoning include confusion, dizziness, headaches, nausea, and vomiting. If you or anyone in your home experiences these symptoms:

1. Call the emergency services immediately and inform them of potential Carbon Monoxide poisoning.

2. Exit the building with everyone in the household, and do not re-enter until the emergency services have given clearance.

If your CO alarm beeps but no one is showing symptoms, take the following actions:

1. Open all windows and doors to ventilate your home.

2. Turn off all gas appliances and shut off the gas supply.

3. Contact Swansea Plumbers & Boilers and keep the property ventilated (leave windows and doors open) until our team can inspect your gas supply and appliances.
