Boiler advice

I’ve noticed a high pitch whistling from my boiler a couple of times over the last few months. Each time it has been while the heating is on but it’s definitely not everytime the heating is on as we have it on a few times a day and we’ve only heard it a handful of times over the last few months.

I haven’t had a service since we bought the house 2 years ago. Would you say book in for a service or a repair? Thanks

Probably worth checking if it’s under warranty still and if you can reinstate it for cheaper than the service and parts probably needed. Very common issue on Ideals… could be dirt in gas valve, dodgy burner. Wank boilers in my view tbf

We didn’t get any paperwork for the boiler when we moved in so I don’t think I have anyway of checking that

You can call the boiler manufacturer to check it
