Boiler Repair in Co. Louth

Boiler faults tend to announce themselves in a handful of familiar ways: no hot water, the boiler locking out and showing a fault code, pressure dropping repeatedly, radiators staying cold at the top, or banging and kettling noises during a heating cycle. Some of these are cheap fixes, others point at a failing pump, diverter valve or heat exchanger.

A repair visit normally starts with diagnosis rather than a quoted price, because the symptom rarely identifies the part. Ask how the call-out is charged, whether diagnosis is separate from labour, and whether common parts are carried on the van, since that decides whether the job is finished in one visit.

Gas and LPG work must be carried out by an engineer on the RGI register. Before calling anyone out, it is worth checking the obvious: that the pressure gauge is in the normal range, the thermostat is calling for heat, and the boiler has not simply lost power. If the boiler has locked out repeatedly, note the fault code, as it saves diagnostic time.
