It\u2019s important to get your boiler back up and running as soon as you can \u2013 especially in winter. So to give you a hand, we\u2019ve put together 3 steps on what to do if you have a boiler breakdown.<\/p>\n

Any work on a gas boiler needs doing by a Gas Safe registered engineer \u2013 even if it\u2019s just diagnostic. Investigating a boiler breakdown yourself can be dangerous. Plus, it could mean that your heating system no longer complies with building regulations. <\/p>\n

Once you know what\u2019s caused your boiler breakdown, you\u2019ll need to decide on the best way to get your heating up and running again. Your boiler engineer will advise you on whether to get your boiler repaired or replaced. But it\u2019s not a bad idea to find out all your different options and how much they\u2019ll cost.<\/p>\n
