Signs Your Boiler Needs Repairs

Occasionally your boiler will require professional repairs to fix a problem. Watch for these signs that can indicate it’s time to schedule an appointment with a trusted boiler service company, like S.D.H. Plumbing & Heating.

Flame turns yellow. If the flame in the unit turns from blue to yellow, it can indicate a carbon monoxide leak. This can be a very dangerous situation for everyone in your home. If you suspect there is a carbon monoxide leak you should immediately evacuate the building and call for professional help.

Faint smell: An odor coming from the system can also indicate a carbon monoxide leak. This should be treated as an emergency. You should leave the property immediately and contact the needed professionals.

Strange sounds: Any odd or unfamiliar noises coming from the unit should be inspected by a contractor.

Increase in utility bills: An increase in your monthly energy bills can indicate that your boiler is operating less efficiently. You should have it inspected to determine if the unit needs to be repaired or replaced.
