3 Signs you Need to Hire a Heating Engineer

With the changing economic trends and drives keeping everyone on a strict budget, deciding when to hire a professional to fix certain matters in your house or building can be unnerving. For instance, when should you hire a heating engineer to deal with the problems associated with your house's heating system? It is inadvisable to wait until the system is completely damaged for you to hire a heating engineer. For this reason, Belfix is a platform specially designed to connect you with a wide array of freelance and independent local heating engineers anywhere in Dublin-1 in case you encounter any of the following problems that warrant immediate professional help:

Your boiler is broken or faulty

The number one alarming part of your heating system is the boiler. A majority of households and workplaces in Dubin-1 only tend to call a heating engineer when the boiler is completely broken, which may cost you a whole lot extra compared to fixing it as soon as signs of faultiness begin to show. These indicators can include:

  • Strange noises such as loud popping or banging sounds coming from the boiler: This could indicate kittling, where an excessive buildup of debris constrains water flow through the heat exchanger, causing the water to evaporate due to boiling. This causes too much pressure on the pipes leading to the noises that sometimes even your neighbors all over Dublin-1 can hear. Alternatively, the sounds could simply mean your boiler is breaking down.
  • Yellow flame: If this occurs instead of the blue flame, your boiler may be leaking carbon monoxide.
  • Escalating energy bills: Inefficient boilers tend to spike your energy bills since they consume more energy during the frequent start and stop operation.
  • Reduced/low pressure: This is often caused by a leakage in the system, especially air escape.
  • Water leakage: This warrants immediate professional help as it could lead to electrical short-circuit and even damage your property in the long run.
  • Your boiler is aged/outdated (over 10years old): This could mean you need a temporary fix or a replacement for efficiency. Once you get a freelance heating engineer on our platform, they will be able to bring you any services or products such as the boiler to anywhere you are located in Dublin-1.
