Agape Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing Lists Signs of a Broken Boiler & Other Problems

Boiler Kettling Noise: The first thing you can do is to listen for signs that there is a problem with your boiler. The boiler will start to make sounds that you can look for. There is a term that is called kettling that means the boiler is making a sound like banging or there is a rumbling sound that is coming from the unit when it is running. You want to make sure that if you hear this sound you call out a professional as soon as possible to make the necessary repairs. The problem is often from the buildup of sediment that comes from the water that is being used in the heater. The buildup can cause a problem with the lines that are bringing the water in. This can then lead to further problems if you do not rectify the situation immediately.
Boiler Leaking Water: The boiler will use water to heat up the house and that is why you need to be careful about a potential leak. The leak can come from any of the areas that have a connection. When there is a break in a line or there is damage to the tank it can create a leak. When the leak occurs it will lead to moisture that is being built up then mold and mildew can begin to grow. You want to make sure that you have your boiler repaired right away and the moisture removed from the house.
Pilot Light Troubleshooting: The boiler will still use a pilot light that needs to be in good shape so that it will ignite the gas when it is turned on. When you start to notice that there is a problem with your pilot light you have to call out a professional to see why the light is not functioning on the unit. They can diagnose a problem then make the necessary repairs.
