We all love to take a nice, hot bath or shower in our Lincoln Park homes after a long day, right? However, what happens when that water stops being so amazingly hot? It probably means that you have a problem with your boiler and you need a repair. Contact a professional if you notice the following signs from your boiler:
Weird Noises
Do you hear unusual noises? This could be a buildup of lime scale or muck on the heat exchanger. This can restrict the water’s flow, which could eventually lead to overheating, boiling, and in turn, loud noises.
The Radiator is Cold
Another issue you might run into is a cold radiator. This, too, could be caused by a buildup of sludge or even air. If the top of the radiator is cold, but the bottom is warm, it might just need to be bled. If the entire radiator is cool, contact an expert.
The Boiler Switches Off on Its Own
If you notice that the device turns off and on by itself, it could have a problem with water pressure, a closed valve, or there might be an issue with your home’s thermostat. If this is the case, you need a pro to fix it, as you are probably losing money because of higher energy costs.
Leaks
Water dripping out of or leaking around the boiler could indicate several issues. Generally, it means an internal part is malfunctioning.
Odors
Do you smell something offensive? This is another sign of a big problem. It could be a gas leak or another issue of buildup in the center of the appliance. This is something you want to contact an expert about.
