Some common types of gas boiler repairs include:
Thermostat issues:
The thermostat controls the temperature of the boiler and the water that it produces. If the thermostat is not functioning correctly, it can cause the boiler to produce water that is either too hot or too cold.
Ignition system problems:
The ignition system is responsible for starting the burner on the boiler. If the ignition system is not working properly, it may be difficult or impossible to start the boiler.
Heat exchanger damage:
The heat exchanger is a key component of the boiler that is responsible for transferring heat from the burner to the water. If the heat exchanger is damaged, it can cause the boiler to be less efficient or even stop working altogether.
Boiler leaks:
A leak in the boiler can be caused by a variety of factors, including corrosion, wear and tear, or a manufacturing defect. Leaks can lead to reduced efficiency and can even be dangerous if the leaked gas is not properly ventilated.
Other issues:
Other problems that may require repair include faulty pumps, clogged or damaged pipes, and issues with the controls or safety features of the boiler.
