How Do Boilers Work?
A boiler system works by heating water to create either hot water or steam to warm your home. Similar to a big tea kettle, cold water in the boiler is heated by gas, oil, or electricity. Once heated, hot water or steam travels through a network of pipes to radiators or a radiant floor system. Then, the water returns to the boiler where it's reheated and recirculated.

Signs Your Boiler Needs a Repair
Boilers are a highly reliable heating option for homeowners across the U.S. However, they still require repairs every now and then. If you run into any of the following boiler issues, it could be a sign your system needs a repair:
-
Kettling
The term "kettling" refers to a grumbling sound that is usually an indication of scale buildup in the boiler. This can obstruct the heat exchanger or pipework and limit water flow. Kettling may also be caused by a damaged pump or sludge buildup.
-
Strange Noises
Whistling sounds from the boiler may mean there is air trapped in the system. On the other hand, whistling or gurgling sounds could mean the water pressure is too low. If you hear clunking or whirring noises, the pump or fan might need replacement.
-
Leaks
If you see water pooling around the boiler tank, this is a bad sign. If your boiler has a leak, it’s crucial to call a professional to fix it quickly and replenish the lost water.
-
Cold Radiators
Boilers work by sending hot water or steam to radiant heating systems in your home. If the water or steam can’t reach its destination, the radiators remain cold. This is often the result of a blockage or corroded pipes.
-
Delayed Heating
If you notice it's taking longer than normal for your system to heat your home, there may be a circulation issue to blame.
-
Rising Heating Costs
Higher heating bills could indicate a leak or some other problem with your boiler.
-
Odors
Odors coming from your boiler like burnt metal or plastic can be due to overheating, while a rotten egg smell may point to a gas leak.
