Know Your Boiler

A boiler system typically consists of several key components, including the heat exchanger, burner, combustion chamber, controls, and piping. Each of these parts plays a vital role in the system’s functionality. The heat exchanger transfers heat from the burner to the water, the burner ignites the fuel to produce heat, and the controls regulate the system’s operation. Understanding the interaction between these components is crucial for boiler maintenance and repairs.

Boiler Maintenance and Repairs

Effective boiler repair begins with a thorough diagnostic process:

Inspection and Testing

The first step is visually inspecting the boiler and its components. Our heating and gas engineers look for signs of damage, wear or boiler leakage. We will also test electrical connections, sensors, and controls to ensure they function correctly.

Cleaning and Descaling

Our Infinite Plumbing & Heating team can quickly restore regular operation for issues like kettling, cleaning and descaling. These involve using chemical solutions to dissolve limescale and other deposits.

Component Replacement

When a specific part, such as a diaphragm, valve, or thermocouple, is faulty, replacing it is often necessary. We source the correct parts from manufacturers such as Valliant and Glow Worm, ensuring they’re correctly installed and performing.

System Rebalancing

After our boiler repairs have been completed, it’s essential to rebalance the system. This involves checking and adjusting the pressure, ensuring no airlocks, and verifying that all components work harmoniously.

Preventive Maintenance

Preventive maintenance minimises boiler breakdowns and extends the system’s life. Regular maintenance includes inspecting components, cleaning the system, checking for leaks, and ensuring the boiler operates at the correct pressure. Additionally, annual servicing by our qualified engineers can help detect and address potential issues before they become significant and more costly problems.
