Hassle-Free Boiler Repair and Replacement in Fort Worth

Here are some common problems you might have with hot water and steam boilers. While you may be able to fix a few of these issues yourself, you may need a technician from Calverley Service Experts for more complex heat repair or a nasty boiler breakdown.

• Thermostat isn’t accurate. Check that it’s switched to “on” and the correct settings. Otherwise, your thermostat may need to be replaced.
• No heat. Broken parts, thermostat issues or inadequate water levels could be to blame.
• Leaking or dripping. Often caused by a broken internal part, worn-out seal or corrosion.
• Banging, whistling or gurgling sounds. Air in the system, low water pressure or imminent part failure can cause these noises.
• Rumbling or kettling noise. Restricted water flow caused by lime and sludge accumulation in the heat exchanger. This causes water to overheat and boil.
• Pilot light is out. Caused by a broken thermocouple, draft or built-up deposit. Natural gas could also be turned off.
• Pressure is too low. Water could be leaking, or a pressure valve may need to be changed. Can also be caused by radiators that have been bled recently.
• Condensate pipe is frozen. This pipe runs outside, so there is a risk of freezing. Thaw it by pouring warm water over it.
• Radiators aren’t getting hot. Caused by sludge or air buildup in the system.
• Boiler keeps turning itself off. Could be caused by a number of issues: low water pressure, thermostat issue, closed valve causing low water flow, air or pump not circulating water properly.

Skipping annual maintenance can often lead to boiler breakdowns. Calverley Service Experts can help you choose a plan that could help you avoid costly repairs—and may improve your equipment’s efficiency.
