Common Combi Boiler Faults We Fix
Combi boilers can suffer from a range of issues, especially in older Birmingham homes. Afterglow engineers are trained to fix problems such as:
No hot water or no heating
Often caused by a faulty diverter valve, pump failure, or low system pressure.
Low boiler pressure
Leaks, faulty PRVs or air in the system can cause pressure drops.
Boiler not firing up
Ignition issues, electrode faults or PCB failures are common.
Intermittent hot water
Typically linked to sensors, valves or flow switch faults.
Boiler losing pressure daily
Could indicate a hidden leak, expansion vessel issue or corroded pipework.
Strange noises (banging, gurgling, whistling)
Commonly caused by limescale, kettling, trapped air or pump wear.
Radiators not heating properly
Sludge build-up, circulation faults or balancing issues.
Boiler keeps turning off
Overheating, restricted flow, thermostat faults or pressure issues.
If you’re experiencing any of these problems and need combi boiler repair in Birmingham, Afterglow can usually identify the cause within a single visit.
When Should You Replace Your Combi Boiler Instead of Repairing It?
Not every breakdown means the boiler needs replacing, but sometimes it’s the most cost-effective option. Afterglow only recommends replacement when it genuinely makes financial sense.
You should consider a replacement if:
- Your boiler is over 10–12 years old
- You’re regularly paying for repairs
- The heat exchanger or PCB has failed (costly major repairs)
- Your boiler is out of warranty and inefficient
- Replacement parts are becoming difficult to source
- Your heating bills keep rising
- You want improved energy efficiency with an A-rated combi boiler
Afterglow provides honest advice and can quote for both repair and replacement so you can make an informed choice.
