• Efficiency: A well-maintained boiler consumes less energy.
• Longevity: Prolong the lifespan of your boiler.
• Safety: Prevent issues like carbon monoxide leaks.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Avoid costly repairs by catching problems early.

Here are some frequent boiler issues and what they might indicate:

1. No Heating or Hot Water
   • Possible causes: Faulty valves, low pressure, or pilot light issues.
   • Solution: Check the thermostat and pressure gauge. If the problem persists, call a professional.
2. Unusual Noises
   • Possible causes: Air in the system or limescale buildup.
   • Solution: Bleed your radiators or consult an expert to descale the system.
