Your boiler might not have sent any warning signs ahead of its breakdown, but thankfully, there\u2019s something you can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Call us for <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"\/heating\/boilers\" target=\"_blank\">boiler repair in Wayne, PA<\/a>\u2013we\u2019ve seen every boiler problem you can imagine, and know exactly how to handle each possible fix. If you\u2019re still curious as to what\u2019s going on with it, let\u2019s fill you in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Pipes May Be Frozen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your home is already frigid when you try to turn on the heat, there\u2019s a chance that your pipes are already frozen. When this happens, you\u2019re at the mercy of Mother Nature to thaw the pipes, because turning it on won\u2019t work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the problem is you\u2019re probably going to experience a burst pipe before it thaws normally. That means the ice expands within a pipe with so much force and pressure, that pipe gets a split or a hole in it, and begins leaking tons of water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it\u2019s not quite as cold and you turn your boiler on, it will leak water instead of working properly. You can usually tell this by looking at the boiler pressure gauge, although it may take a technician to inspect the issue for themselves if there are no clear signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Thermostat Could Be Broken<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your thermostat is there to not only help you send a signal to the boiler to turn on, but it\u2019s also constantly reading the temperature of your home. When it can\u2019t read the temperature properly, it doesn\u2019t send that \u201cON\u201d signal that your boiler needs to start in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It could even be miscalibrated, which simply means that it\u2019s not detecting the room temperature properly even though it is trying its best. Either way, the good news here is that your boiler might be completely fine, and your thermostat is far less expensive to replace (if it comes down to that) than the components in your boiler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019s Short Cycling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Short cycling is usually something associated with an air conditioner or a gas furnace, but it can happen to your boiler as well. While this can happen from an overpowered boiler quickly heating up a space and shutting down quickly, even though it\u2019s doing its job, we\u2019re willing to bet that\u2019s not the case in most homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your boiler is shutting down before reaching the desired temperature, then turning back on again, and repeating that cycle of short operations, it\u2019s a problem. We can diagnose the specific issue and help you get your boiler back on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let\u2019s Fix That Boiler<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter which one of those issues is plaguing your boiler, or if it\u2019s something else entirely, we\u2019re here to help.
