We recently carried out a boiler repair on a Viessmann system that had previously been recommended for replacement by another company.
The boiler, approximately 9 years old, was diagnosed properly to identify the root cause of the issues.
Faults Identified:
• Failed expansion vessel
• Faulty hot water sensor
Both components were replaced, restoring the boiler to full working order.
In addition to the repair, we completed a full strip-down service to ensure long-term reliability.
Scope of Works Completed:
• Full diagnostic and fault finding
• Expansion vessel replacement
• Hot water sensor replacement
• Strip-down service and internal cleaning
• Gasket replacement where required
• Gas tightness testing
• Water quality testing using Adey ProCheck
Why This Matters:
Not all boiler faults require full replacement. Accurate diagnostics and proper servicing can often restore a system at a fraction of the cost.
This approach helps to:
• Avoid unnecessary replacement costs
• Extend the lifespan of the boiler
• Improve efficiency and performance
• Ensure safe and reliable operation
