All heating services & Plumming work now available again.

All heating services & Plumming work now available again.

Like all businesses, we at Abbey Boilers have had to make adjustments to the way we operate during lockdown period. Initially, that meant focusing entirely on emergency repairs as with he government guidelines. We then started boiler servicing, due to the important nature of this work, and throughout it all we have been operating within the guidelines set out by the government in terms of using PPE, hand sanitiser and social distancing.

This was all very necessary and our gas engineers, office staff and our customers welcomed it.

However, now that lockdown rules have started to relax and we know from the last three months that our working protocols are safe and embedded in how we operate, we are pleased to say that we are now almost back to business as usual out of Horsham West Sussex, and we could not be happier doing what we do best!

We are now offering our full range of services and no longer limiting it to just emergency repairs and boiler servicing.

Naturally, things aren’t exactly as they were before- all hygiene and social distancing rules remain in place and we do ask that you notify us if anyone in the household has any symptoms of covid19 or has done for the previous 14 days.

Now that we are able to resume plumbing and heating and home improvement work, you can call on us to sort out that dripping tap that’s been driving you mad, that temperamental toilet or even if you just fancy a new shower, Abbey Boilers is here for you like before.

Having worked throughout this crisis, we are confident that our covid19 working practices are safe for both customers and our gas engineers so you can book with confidence.

If you would like to book an appointment for any of our plumbing and heating services then you can email us on : admin@abbeyboilers.com. or call us on 01403 275512 during our office hours.

Our office staff are now back to work and we hope that we can get the economy of our country back on track.

Thank you for your continued patience during these challenging times.

Boiler Trouble? Common Problems & Their Causes

 Boiler Trouble?  Common Problems & Their Causes

Here at Abbey Boilers, in Horsham, West Sussex, we come across a number of common boiler problems...

1: DRIPS AND LEADS

If you got a leaky boiler system then it is absolutely best to call out an Abbey Boiler Services professional. Leaks and drips generally mean an internal component is faulty - like the pump seal or pressure value. If you’re finding leaks around the pipes, radiators, and joints then it’s either because the system has been installed poorly or you are experiencing corrosion. 

2: NO HEATING OR HOT RUNNING WATER

Definitely not what you want on a cold winter morning! Broken airlocks and diaphragms, thermostat issues, a low water level, or valve failure could all be the problem here. Some of these challenges you could perhaps tackle yourself, but it’s trial and error if you don’t know what you’re doing. Talking to an Abbey Boiler professional would be advisable. 

3: NO PILOT LIGHT

Well, this one’s easy to spot, isn’t it?! No flame/pilot light on the boiler. This could be due to a mechanical issue stopping the gas supply or simply a draught coming from somewhere blowing it out. Before attempting to re-light the pilot flame, please check your gas supply is turned off. If you have any doubts, it’s best to leave it to someone who knows’s what they’re doing.

Thermostats & Timers

At Abbey Boilers, here in Horsham, West Sussex - one of the key areas we see our customers having trouble is unreliable thermostats and timers. With a thermostat located in an awkward place, like an attic, cellar, next to a window or cooker, it can rec havoc with the temperature reading and cause your heating to come on at all sorts of odd times. 

Malfunctioning or complicated digital boiler controllers/timers can also make things difficult - especially for older residents. 

Pipe Insulation

The benefits of fitting out your house with pipe insulation are two-fold. As we all know, when water freezes, it expands. Now imagine the water in your household pipes freezing during a particularly cold snap in winter. A burst pipe and an ugly situation you don’t want to be dealing with. And you don’t have to. By adding pipe insulation to your boiler system you’ll ensure that the water in your pipes never dips below freezing temperatures. 

The second benefit? Pipe insulation is also going to reduce your energy bills. 

Ask one of our Abbey Boiler service professionals more about pipe insulation during your autumn service.

Power Flush your system
Want another money saving tip? Get a Power Flush during your boiler service.

A Power Flush is a professional level deep clean of your heating and water system. It’ll clean out all the built up sludge and grime in the pipes and radiators and replace it with clean water and a corrosion inhibitor. 

This will vastly improve the efficiency of your central heating system - meaning you don’t need to have it on for such lengthy periods in order to heat your home sufficiently. Save money!

Big Energy Saving Week: Households given fuel bill saving advice

Big Energy Saving Week: Households given fuel bill saving advice

Households across the United Kingdom are being encouraged to take steps to reduce their energy usage and save money on their fuel bills as part of a nationwide campaign.

Big Energy Saving Week (21st - 27th January), organised each year by Citizens Advice, aims to raise awareness of the simple steps we can all take to lower our energy bills through being more energy efficient.

OFTEC, which represents the oil heating industry, and the Federation of Petroleum Suppliers (FPS), the trade association for oil distributers, are official partners of Big Energy Saving Week and are encouraging oil households in the UK to think about their current energy consumption as well as offering money saving advice. 

Despite recent small increases in price, oil heated households in the UK continue to enjoy the cheapest fuel bills of all the main off-grid heating systems and are paying on average nearly £500 less than homes using LPG and over £800 less than those with electric storage heaters.

However, in the cold winter months, there are still ways households can reduce their spending costs even further, without having to turn down the heating.
