Fort McMurray Common Boiler Systems Issues
An unexpected issue with your boiler system is awful and inconvenient. If your boiler system experience these problems, do not hesitate to give BlackIron a call to repair the problems for you:
Leaking
Leaking may look like a simple problem that causes minor nuisances like wet floors, but leaks are one of the significant problems in boiler systems. Leaks are usually caused by problems in the pressure valve and pump seal. When a system has high pressure, it often affects the pressure valve resulting in a leak. Worn-out pump seals also generate leaks. Leaks can also appear in the pipes due to corrosion which is significant to the system’s installation. It is better to get these leaks immediately before it causes more damage to your unit.
No Heating or No Water
It is frustrating to open your faucets only to realize that there is no hot water when you need it. No water or no heating is usually caused by faulty motorized valves, broken airlocks, or broken thermostats. Problems like this should be fixed by professional repair contractors who are experienced to fix the system. Better repair services give you less interruption and more savings.
Frozen Pipes
Condensate pipes are responsible for transporting the condensate from the boiler to the outside drain. However, during cold weather, condensates tend to freeze thus blocking the pipe. This is very common for houses with external condensate pipes. This can lead to the system breaking down.
Unnecessary Noises
Noisy boilers are indicators of a problem. When the boiler starts making unnecessary noises such as unusual gurgling, banging, or whistling, it is best to consult a professional to get it fixed right away.
Boiler Won’t Turn On
If the boiler won’t turn on, you need to check if there is a power shortage or there are tripped switches in the fuse box. If the boiler keeps turning off, this might be caused by low pressure or system blockage.
