Boiler broken down in Acocks Green: what can you check first?
Before ringing, look at the power, the pressure and whether the hob lights. Then note any fault code on the display, because it narrows the search. Do not take the casing off; the inside of a boiler is gas work.
Heating but no hot water on a combi often points at the diverter valve. Boiler repairs across the major makes are Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited work, carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers.
How do I find a good gas engineer?
Check the Gas Safe Register first, then look at reviews and ask for a written, itemised quote. Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited is Gas Safe registered under number 501031, and its quotes are free and itemised.
How long has the firm been going?
Vic Mullan launched Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited in 2009. A five-year apprenticeship came first, then installing and servicing for a national utilities company, then his own firm.
The business is family run, with Vic now training his son. From its base in Sheldon, it wins 78% of its jobs through returning customers or referrals.
Why are my radiators working but I have no hot water?
On a combi boiler, this commonly means the diverter valve is stuck on the heating side. With a cylinder system, the hot water zone valve, thermostat or programmer are the usual suspects.
What does a power flush actually do?
A power flush pumps water and cleaning chemicals through the heating circuit at high flow, breaking up the magnetite sludge lying in radiators and pipe runs. The system is then refilled with inhibitor to slow the corrosion that made the sludge.
The signs are radiators cold at the bottom, dark water when one is bled, and a noisy boiler. Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited power flushes heating systems, frequently while on site for a service.
