Common Boiler Problems We Solve Every Day

Boilers are complex systems with multiple components that must work in harmony to heat your property safely and efficiently. When something goes wrong, our technicians have the expertise to diagnose and repair the issue quickly, minimizing disruption to your comfort.

Call Johnson Heating, Cooling and Electrical Services for help with:

• No heat or inadequate heating. Low water pressure, faulty thermostats, broken diaphragms, or airlocks in the system can all prevent your boiler from generating sufficient heat throughout your property.
• Strange noises. Banging, whistling, or gurgling sounds often indicate kettling caused by limescale buildup, trapped air in the system, or a failing pump, all of which require professional attention.
• Water leaks. Corroded pipes, damaged seals, excessive pressure, or component failures can cause water to leak from your boiler, potentially damaging your property and reducing system efficiency.
• Pilot light issues. A pilot light that won't stay lit or frequently goes out may signal problems with the thermocouple, the gas supply, or debris buildup affecting ignition components.
• Pressure fluctuations. Boiler pressure that drops too low or rises too high indicates issues with the pressure relief valve, expansion vessel, or potential leaks within the system.
• Radiator cold spots. When radiators heat unevenly or remain cold in certain sections, trapped air, sludge buildup, or circulation problems within your heating loop are typically responsible.

These issues vary in severity, but all require proper diagnosis and repair to prevent further damage or safety risks. Our technicians carry specialized tools and replacement parts to address most boiler problems during the initial service visit, getting your heat back online without lengthy delays.

How Energy-Efficient Are Boilers?

Modern boilers rank among the most energy-efficient heating options available, especially when properly maintained and correctly sized for your property. Today's high-efficiency condensing boilers can achieve Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratings of 90% to 98%, meaning they convert nearly all their fuel into usable heat with minimal waste. This exceptional efficiency translates directly to lower heating bills and reduced environmental impact compared to older heating technologies.

The efficiency advantage of boilers stems from their design. Unlike forced-air systems that lose heat through ductwork and experience cycling losses, boilers deliver warmth through sealed water or steam pipes, minimizing energy waste. Radiant heat from boilers also feels more comfortable at lower thermostat settings, allowing you to maintain comfort while using less energy. However, efficiency depends heavily on proper installation, regular maintenance, and system age.

Johnson Heating, Cooling and Electrical Services can help you maximize your boiler's efficiency through expert maintenance that includes cleaning, testing safety controls, checking for leaks, and optimizing combustion settings. We also offer emergency repair services so that you can address any issues affecting your boiler’s efficiency as soon as possible.
