What type of boiler repair emergencies do boiler engineers do
On a boiler repair emergency, the type of jobs they do are related to no hot water or no central heating, many of our clients get mixed up between cyclinder boiler and the gas boiler when the term boiler is mostly relating to a boiler that heats up your central heating and most of the time your hot water.
We suppose from time to time when you have a boiler related problem we can also refer to the cyclinder or in our gas the gas operated boiler, after all both type of boilers heat water up directly of indirectly.
The only type of boilers a general plumber is allowed to work on is a vented cylinder that is not gas operated for example, replacing an immersion heater and stat.
An emergency boiler engineer will also be qualified to work on the type of emergency boiler required for example, if the boiler is natural gas, then your would expect a gas safe register engineer to work on it, if the boiler is run by oil, you would expect an Oftec register engineer to work on the boiler.
If you come accross an unvented cylinder with no gas boiler, these type of boilers are located in cupboards in apartment blocked.
As were all avout natural gas boiler repair emergency, will will be explaining more about these type of boilers. The make of boilers we deal with are as mentioned Alpha, Ariston, Baxi, Biasi, Faroli, Glow Worm, Heatline, Ideal, Main, Potterton, Ravenheat, Vaillant, Viesmann, Vokera and Worcester.
What should a consumer expect on boiler repair emergency
The first thing a client will experience with there boiler repair emergency is that there is no heating or hot water which is a very common issue amongst the uk population.
Fairly similar to the gas emergency article we had written about mentioning boiler problems relating to gas, this is similar but the only difference in this article, we go on more indepth about gas boiler issues.
The first thing a gas engineer will do when visiting the property is ask questions for example, are you getting hot water, heating, are you getting any error codes or have you any history of the boiler not working. There are many other questions a boiler repair technician can ask such as have you had you boiler serviced in the last 12 months or had a gas safe certificate done.
Some questioned that may refer to the boiler repair emergency are central heating power flushing which is another service we can offer if the engineer advices this or explains that to repair your boiler, you need a power flush.
Once the engineer has a little idea about the issue your getting and at this point the engineer has already checked the room stat and controls is to check the boiler.
Some central heating boilers now have error codes that explaint the issue of the boiler repair emergency well most central heating boilers you have to take the boiler apart and do a diagnostic.
If the engineer turns up and finds the boiler already taken apart, then is a chance he will just say 'I'm not working on it' and the reason for this is due to the engineers responsibilities working on a boiler repair.
An engineer doesn't generally fix a faulty boiler from another boiler engineers diagnostics so if the broken down boiler has already had a boiler diagnostic done and you call someone else out, then expect for the boiler diagnostic to be done again.
The chances of fixing a boiler on the first visit is an estimated 70% due to special parts being ordered or the boiler is absolutely un-fixable. Just because a broken boiler requiring a boiler repair emergency, doesn't mean that it cant be fixed by an alternative gas safe engineer, it's just that as there is so much responsibily, sometimes safety can be a grey area where one engineer thinks it's dangerous another will think it's fine.
If your issue isn't with the boiler and it's with the electric and your looking for information on electical emergency the please tank a look at that article, you can also check out out plumbing emergency page or our heating emergency central heating emergency.
With EPHG Limited we believe that a grey area should never be an excuse to having the broken boiler fixed as we believe safety is paramount.
Once the engineer leaves the property, the engineer should leave the fixed or broken boiler in a safe condition.

Advice on gas emergency
The best advice we can give you when it comes to boiler repair emergencies from the last 100 boiler repair emergency work before calling is to note down the name and make of the boiler, make sure you have an instruction manual before the boiler repair engineer turns up by either keeping the manual that originally came with the boiler or downloading it and printing it up from teh internet.
As we are a national company and you require a gas safe engineer for your boiler repair emergency, then you can give us a call on 07720 247 247 and one of the staff will answer so that we can organise an emergency boiler repair engineer to attend your broken down boiler or you could visit the gas safe register, put in your post code, maybe use the advanced setting and find a local gas safe engineer saving us searching for you.
