Book a gas boiler service in North Dublin if your boiler pressure keeps falling below 1 bar, your pipes bang or gurgle, or a radiator won’t heat up. If none of this is happening, you still need a yearly service from a Registered Gas Installer (RGI). It keeps your warranty valid and your home safe.
Low pressure, noisy pipes and cold rooms are the three jobs we get called to most on the northside. Nearly all of them could have been found at a yearly gas boiler service in North Dublin, long before the boiler broke down.
What Is Included in a Gas Boiler Service in North Dublin?
An RGI engineer checks your boiler from top to bottom. At DeWAR Gas Service, we look at:
- The burner, heat exchanger and gas valve
- The flue, and we run a flue gas test
- Seals, the fan and the condensate pipe
- System pressure and the expansion vessel
- Safety devices and controls
- Gas pressure and burner rate
Our engineers work in Swords (K67), Malahide (K36), Clontarf (Dublin 3), Raheny and Coolock (Dublin 5), Santry, Glasnevin and Drumcondra (Dublin 9), Finglas (Dublin 11), Howth and Sutton (Dublin 13).
Why Is My Gas Boiler Losing Pressure?
Water is getting out, or a part that holds the pressure has worn. With the heating off, your gauge should sit between 1 and 1.5 bar.
We usually find one of these:
- A leak on a pipe, joint or radiator valve
- A faulty pressure relief valve
- A worn expansion vessel
- Air let out after bleeding radiators
Topping up once is no problem. Topping up every week means there’s a fault. Our engineer checks the expansion vessel and relief valve and finds the leak.
What Do Strange Gas Boiler Noises Mean?
A kettling sound, like a kettle about to boil, comes from limescale or sludge on the heat exchanger. Banging in the pipes can be trapped air, low pressure or a pump on its way out. Gurgling is air in the system. A whistle often means something is blocked.
Plenty of older houses in North Dublin still have the original pipework and have never had the system cleaned. We find the cause during the service and fix it before a part fails. If a part has already gone, our engineers can carry out a gas boiler repair on the same visit or book you in for a return call.Â
Why Are Some Radiators Cold While Others Are Hot?
Cold at the top means the radiator needs bleeding. Cold at the bottom means sludge. If a whole room stays cold, look at the pump, the valves or how the system is balanced.
Our engineer checks the water flow and will say if a flush or a magnetic filter is worth doing. When hot water reaches every radiator, the boiler runs less and your gas bill drops.
When Should You Book a Gas Boiler Service in North Dublin?
Call us if you see any of these:
- Pressure falling below 1 bar again and again
- New banging, kettling or gurgling
- Radiators still uneven after bleeding
- A yellow or orange flame where it should be blue
- Soot or black marks on the boiler
- Fault codes or the boiler cutting out
- No service in the last 12 months
Boiler makers want proof of a yearly service before they’ll honour a warranty. September and October are the best months to book. Once the first cold night comes, everyone calls at once.
If you smell gas, turn it off at the meter, open the windows, leave the light switches alone and ring Gas Networks Ireland.
Why Choose DeWAR Gas Service?
By law, only an RGI can work on a gas boiler in Ireland. Every one of our engineers is RGI registered. We service Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal and most other brands. Before we fix anything, we tell you what’s wrong and what it costs.
Can I Pay for Gas Boiler Repairs in Instalments?
Yes. If the service turns up a repair, or you need a new boiler, Finance by humm lets you pay it off in smaller amounts. You apply online, and approval isn’t guaranteed. It means you don’t have to wait until you’ve saved up while the house gets colder.
