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

Hi mate

If it’s a ideal that’s not ideal far from the best boilers not the worst but still on the crappier sides in my opinion

I would have someone come out to at least do a service for you and if they are able to find the fault at the same time great

Avoid British Gas and ever warm if you are in Scotland am reed or wrb are very good options

I work with a lot of former British Gas employees there contracts got changed and a lot of there experienced and well working guys left

They are very much all about cost

The workmasnship and care has gone down hill and apparently there after support is shocking
