When the Boiler Stops in Sheldon
Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited, a family run plumbing and heating firm based in Sheldon, Birmingham, covers boiler repairs in Sheldon and across Birmingham and Solihull. Check the power, the pressure gauge and the gas supply first, note any fault code, and leave the casing on, because inside is gas work.
Why has the boiler stopped giving hot water?
Check three things first: the power, the pressure gauge and the gas supply. Then note any fault code on the display, because it narrows the search. The cover stays on; the inside of a boiler is gas work.
When the radiators work but the taps run cold, a combi diverter valve is a common cause. Boiler repairs across the major makes are Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited work, carried out by Gas boiler repair in Edgbaston Safe registered engineers.
What is the average lifespan of a boiler?
A well serviced gas boiler commonly lasts somewhere around 10 to 15 years, and some go longer. Annual servicing and clean system water are what separate the long lived ones from the rest.
What happens during a boiler service?
Servicing is preventive, a check rather than a fix. Leaks, corrosion, the burner, the heat exchanger, gas pressure, combustion and the flue all get looked at. You get a written record at the end.
Most manufacturers ask for one every year, because a missed service can invalidate the warranty. Boiler servicing across Birmingham and Solihull is Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited work, for combi, system and conventional boilers.
Does a gas engineer fix a boiler?
Yes. Repairing a gas boiler is gas work, so it is exactly the job a Gas Safe registered engineer does. Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited repairs boilers of all the major makes across Birmingham and Solihull.
