Looking for fixed price boiler repairs in Bicester? Wherever possible, an engineer can be with you the same day or next day, and your repair is guaranteed. We fix everything from a boiler that won't light to radiators that stay cold.
We can repair any combi, gas or electric boiler, new or old. You book online and choose a date that suits you. Your engineer looks at the boiler, finds the fault and explains it in plain terms. After the repair, they check the boiler runs as it should. Your engineer will let you know if anything else needs attention.
A condensing boiler drains waste water through a plastic pipe that runs outside. In freezing weather, the water in that pipe can turn to ice. The boiler then stops and may show a fault code or make a gurgling sound.
You can usually thaw the pipe yourself. Pour warm water, not boiling water, slowly along the frozen part. Then reset the boiler as your manual shows. If the fault won't clear, leave the casing on and let a boiler engineer in Bicester take a look.
If the pipe freezes in every cold spell, the way it was fitted may be the cause. A pipe that is too narrow, or runs a long way outside, freezes more easily. Lagging or rerouting the pipe can stop it happening again.
During a very cold spell, keeping the heating on low can help. It keeps a little warm water moving through the pipe. It also helps to know where your condensate pipe runs, so you can find it quickly.
A frozen pipe is not the only cold-weather fault. Pumps, valves and thermostats all work harder when it's cold outside. If your heating struggles in winter, it's worth having it checked before it stops.
Signs of a frozen pipe include a gurgling sound from the boiler and a fault code on the display. Some boilers show a flashing light instead. If you can see ice on the pipe outside, it has frozen.
It helps to note when the problem started and what the boiler was doing at the time. Details like these help your engineer find the cause.
