What to Do in a Boiler Emergency
1. Check the pressure gaugeIf your boiler has lost pressure (below 1 bar), you may be able to repressurise it using the filling loop. Check your boiler manual for instructions. This is a common fix that avoids a call-out.
2. Check for error codesMost modern boilers display an error code on the screen. Note this down before calling an engineer, as it helps them diagnose the problem and bring the right parts.
3. Smell gas? Act immediatelyIf you can smell gas, do not operate any switches or flames. Open windows, leave the property, and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999. Then call a Gas Safe registered engineer.
4. No heating or hot water in freezing weatherIf it is below zero, check that the condensate pipe (usually a white plastic pipe outside) has not frozen. Pouring warm (not boiling) water over it can thaw it and restore your boiler.
