HEATING REPAIR
We fix & repair most makes and types of Gas & LPG Boilers. Worcester Bosch, Viessmann, Potterton, Vaillant, Baxi, Alpha, Ideal, Glowworm, Halstead amongst others.
Vaillant owners are our biggest customers mainly because the IoW has bizarrely, more Vaillant's per home than anywhere else in the country.
BROKEN BOILER?
We have fixed a lot of boilers this year mainly Vaillant's but also Glowworm, Baxi and an old Worcester.
Common fault on all Combi boilers is loss of pressure. This is often just the need to replace a dripping pressure relief valve.
Vaillant's tend to be Diverter Valves or/and PCB boards which can be as much as £250 just for a new board.
Most horrific was a 3 year old Glowworm that only had a 2 year warranty. New pump required at £400, shocking price, not impressed with Glowworm.
Vaillants appear to be the most troublesome boilers. The newer Vaillants around 6-10 years old are particularly unreliable. Although they are the most popular boilers on the Isle of Wight. That said the trade magazines predominately only advertise Vaillant spares which tells you all you need to know about Vaillant Boilers
The older Vaillants 18 plus years old are pretty good.
DONT PANIC
Most spares are relatively cheap and easily accessible. Even if the wholesalers dont have them in stock we can normally get them ordered in within 24 hours.
Some problems are an easy fix, some relate to third party components like zone valves and programmers etc.
BOILER SERVICE
Get your boiler serviced every year.

If you drove your car all day and everyday
you wouldn't just ignore it.
