Low boiler pressure - the pressure should be between 1 - 2 on the pressure gauge, anything below 1 is low pressure and can mean the boiler won't fire up.
Kettling - if your boiler sounds like a kettle when it heats up, this could mean there is a build-up of grime or limescale inside the boiler's heat exchanger. This means the boiler will not run efficiently and will waste money and energy.
Gas leak - corrosion, wear and tear and damage during installation can be a common cause of a gas leak. This can be extremely dangerous and very important to look out for as we are using our boilers more regularly.
Carbon Monoxide leak - this is another dangerous element to look out for, carbon monoxide in the home can lead to serious long-term health problems and can even be fatal.
Water leak - with the boiler being full of water up to 70 degrees, this can be very dangerous if it begins to leak. Even if the water is cold, this could result in a slip hazard.
Electricity - it's important that the electrics are checked during a boiler service as a potential spark could ignite the gas and have very serious consequences.
