Gas boilers and water heaters have gained wide popularity because of their efficiency and equipment reliability. But improper operation, prolonged operation and other factors lead to breakdowns, unexpected expenses, resulting in impressive amounts. Reducing the latter can prevent and prompt recovery of nodes at the first sign of malfunctions.
"Symptoms" of boiler failure
Diagnostics and repair of gas heating boilers is necessary if the following symptoms occur:
- the smell of gas in the room;
- decrease in pressure intensity;
- weak heating of water or batteries, more common with the settings;
- unexpected shutdown;
- increased noise or unnatural sounds during operation;
- leakage of working fluid.
Most often, heating elements, expansion tanks, temperature sensors, pumps, electronic components fail. Professional repairs should be done immediately. Procrastination is fraught with failure of neighboring nodes. To reduce the risk of breakdowns, prevention is called upon. Every year, before the start of the heating season, it is necessary to organize the cleaning of the system from scale formed on the internal channels.
Geyser Breakdowns: Common Problems
Geysers - water heating equipment having a simpler structure. Regardless of the manufacturer, he has a number of typical breakdowns. Many of them are similar to malfunctions of heating boilers.
The main enemy of this technique is scale. It is collected in the form of solid deposits on the heat exchanger, which leads to a decrease in its efficiency and excessive energy consumption. These inclusions can fall off, clogging the flow system. Hence there is a decrease in pressure, deterioration in water quality.
As in the case of the boiler, the symptoms of the malfunction of the columns are a constant shutdown, insufficient heating of the water, leak, gas smell. Those who are faced with similar problems, experts recommend acting promptly. It is important to shut off the flows of the latter in order to prevent liquid from penetrating electronic components and other parts sensitive to moisture, poisoning of households with carbon monoxide and substances.
Repair and maintenance of geysers must be carried out by special services with the appropriate approval. It is important to use high-quality original components. Some problems can be prevented. So, setting the mode of heating water to 45-50 degrees eliminates the risk of boiling, which reduces the intensity of scale formation. The use of a stabilizer protects the electronics - it prevents the violation of options, the burning out of individual elements.
