Boiler broken down in Birmingham?
No heating, a fault code on the display or a boiler that keeps locking out. The callout starts with finding out exactly why.
Sound familiar?
If any of these are happening, book a callout. The engineer will find the cause and explain the fix.
- A fault code or flashing light on the boiler display
- The boiler keeps locking out or will not fire
- Pressure gauge dropping below 1 bar
- Banging, gurgling or whistling noises
- Heating works but hot water does not, or the other way round
- The pilot light or flame keeps going out
While you wait.
Leave the property, do not use electrical switches, and call the National Gas Emergency Service free on 0800 111 999, 24 hours a day.
- If you can smell gas, stop. Do not use switches, open windows, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999.
- Note down any fault code on the display. It is the single most useful thing for the engineer.
- Check the pressure gauge. Most combi boilers run at around 1 to 1.5 bar when cold.
- Check the boiler has power and the thermostat and timer are calling for heat.
- Do not remove the boiler casing or attempt repairs yourself.
