Boiler Repairs for AL5

More Than Just the Boiler

In many Harpenden homes the boiler is only one part of a bigger heating system. Larger and extended houses often run a system boiler with an unvented cylinder, two or three heating zones and a set of motorised valves, pumps and wiring tying it all together. When something stops working, the boiler often gets the blame, but the fault can just as easily be a sticking zone valve, a failed cylinder thermostat or a wiring problem.

That is why our engineers look at the whole system, not just the boiler. We trace the fault methodically, explain it in plain English and agree the cost before any repair is carried out.

If a repair would cost more than the boiler is worth, we will tell you and talk through a replacement boiler. Harpenden is just up the A1081 from our base, and our Harpenden plumbing and heating page covers our other local work.

System Faults That Look Like Boiler Faults

These are some of the problems we trace in larger Harpenden systems.

Stuck Zone Valves: One floor stays cold while the rest of the house heats up, often a motorised valve that has failed.
Cylinder Thermostat Faults: Hot water that never gets hot, or overheats, can be the cylinder thermostat rather than the boiler.
Unvented Cylinder Problems: A dripping discharge pipe or poor hot water pressure points to the relief valve or expansion vessel on the unvented cylinder.
Wiring Centre Faults: Loose or failed connections in the wiring centre can stop the boiler responding to the controls.
Boiler Lockouts: Ignition, flame sensing and overheat faults that make the boiler shut down.

Signs Your Heating Needs a Look

Get in touch if you notice any of these.

One Zone Not Heating

Upstairs warm but downstairs cold, or the reverse, usually points to a valve or thermostat.

Water From the Discharge Pipe

A tundish or discharge pipe running water means the cylinder safety system needs checking.

Boiler Not Responding

If the boiler will not fire when the controls call for heat, the fault may be in the wiring or controls.

Lukewarm Hot Water

Cylinder hot water that never gets properly hot needs investigating.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really happy with the work carried out by Alban Plumbing and Heating. They fitted several new radiators in my home and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. They arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and took great care while working in the house.
The installation was completed to a high standard, everything was left clean and tidy, and the new radiators look fantastic and heat up perfectly. It's refreshing to find a company that is reliable, communicates well, and clearly takes pride in their work.
I wouldn't hesitate to use Alban Plumbing and Heating again and would happily recommend them to friends and family.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Asif has done a great job looking after our plumbing and heating for several years now. He also recently attended in under an hour to fix an emergency leak that he and his son sorted with great efficiency allowing us to get back to work and continue operating with minimal disruption to our business and patients. He’s reasonably priced and friendly and I’m sure we will be using him for many years to come.  His 5 star status is well deserved.

Harpenden Boiler Repairs: Your Questions

Why is one floor of my house cold?

In zoned systems this is often a failed motorised valve or a thermostat fault on that zone. We test each part to find out.

Water is dripping from a pipe near my cylinder. Is that serious?

It usually means the cylinder safety system is discharging. Turn the boiler off if you can and call us so we can check the relief valve and expansion vessel.

Do you repair all boiler makes?

We repair most common gas boiler makes and models. Tell us the make and model when you call so we can confirm.

Should I repair or replace an older boiler?

If the repair is reasonable and parts are available, repairing often makes sense. If not, we will explain the replacement options honestly.

How much does a heating repair cost?

It depends on what has failed. We diagnose first and agree the price with you before starting.

Which parts of Harpenden do you cover?

We cover Harpenden in AL5, including the town centre, Batford, Southdown, Roundwood and West Common.
