annual boiler service<\/a>, then you should consider getting a replacement.<\/p>\n\u200d<\/p>\n
Strange Smells<\/h3>\n
You may notice unusual smells emitting from your boiler. If you do so, it\u2019s vital to immediately get in touch with a registered Gas Safe engineer. This is particularly true if you notice a sulfurous, eggy smell when you use your boiler.<\/p>\n
If this happens, it\u2019s likely to be a gas leak. In this situation, you must immediately turn the boiler off and call the emergency gas line on 0800 111 999<\/p>\n

Water Leakage<\/h3>\n
\u00a0<\/strong>If your boiler is leaking water, this typically means that an internal component, such as a valve or seal, is broken. If this is not attended to, it could lead to serious problems such as an electrical short circuit or even structural damage to your home.<\/p>\nIf you notice a leak, turn off the boiler and get it professionally checked. It may just need a simple repair, but could need replacing altogether.<\/p>\n
\u200d<\/p>\n
Noise<\/h3>\n
Boilers and radiators make sounds all the time, most of which are completely normal. However it is worth noting any change in the type of noise or volume. If you are hearing irregular humming, vibrating or banging, it may be a sign of a fault with the boiler or central heating system. It is worth getting a heating engineer to investigate, as it may be a sign that it\u2019s time for a boiler replacement.<\/p>\n
\u200d<\/p>\n
Higher Bills<\/h3>\n
\u00a0<\/strong>If your heating bills are getting higher without explanation, it may be due to the age of your boiler. A less efficient boiler will cost you more money to run. For example, if you have an older G-rated boiler, this will run at about 70% efficiency or less.<\/p>\nModern A-rated boilers operate at over 90% efficiency. Replacing an old, G-rated boiler with a new A-rated, energy efficient boiler could save you up to \u00a3840 per year.<\/p>\n
\u200d<\/p>\n
Poor Performance<\/h3>\n
If you are finding that it is taking longer for your radiators to heat up, or if you are regularly adjusting the pressure of your boiler, it\u2019s time for the boiler to be professionally checked. The problem may just need a quick fix, or it could be indicative of a larger, irreparable issue.<\/p>\n
\u200d<\/p>\n
Yellow Flame<\/h3>\n
Your boiler flame should be burning bright blue. If it has changed to a yellow or orange colour,\u00a0 your boiler needs to be immediately serviced by a Gas Safe engineer. They can tell you about the severity of your problem, and how it can be resolved.<\/p>\n
Problems with Parts<\/h3>\n
As your boiler ages, it can become ever more difficult, and more expensive, to find spare parts when repairs are needed. It\u2019s important to do your research on the price of parts and their availability. This can be addressed during your boiler service<\/a>.<\/p>\nIf it\u2019s very expensive to replace an obsolete part, it is really only worth doing if the boiler rarely has problems. If your engineer is regularly looking online for expensive, obsolete parts, it may be more cost-efficient to replace the boiler all together.<\/p>\n
