The Problem
A concerned customer in Loughbrickland contacted Iveagh Heating regarding a significant issue with their oil-fired boiler. The homeowner reported that the boiler was constantly running and failing to switch off. Given the property's age of 10 years and the recent replacement of another motorised valve causing a similar fault, the customer was understandably worried about the safety and efficiency of their heating system.
The Solution
Initial Assessment and Safety Measures
Understanding the urgency of the situation, I immediately attended to the issue. The first step was to isolate the boiler to ensure the customer's safety and prevent any potential damage to the property.
Diagnosis
Upon a thorough assessment, it was determined that another motorised valve was causing the boiler to malfunction. This diagnosis was critical in identifying the root cause of the problem and developing an effective solution.
Comprehensive Repair and Maintenance Plan
Given the recurring nature of the issue with the motorised valves, I suggested a comprehensive approach to prevent future problems. The solution involved:
Draining the System: This was necessary to perform the repairs safely and effectively.
Replacing All 3 Motorised Valves: Both the brass bodies and the heads of the valves were replaced to ensure complete reliability and efficiency.
Refilling the System with Corrosion Inhibitor: To promote long-term performance and prevent future issues, a corrosion inhibitor was added during the refilling process.
Implementation
We efficiently executed the repair plan, ensuring minimal disruption to the homeowner. By addressing the faulty motorised valve and replacing all related components, the system was restored to optimal working condition.
Results
Customer Satisfaction
The customer was extremely satisfied with the swift response and effective solution provided by Iveagh Heating. The boiler was no longer running continuously, and the risk of further issues was significantly reduced.
System Performance and Longevity
With the new motorised valves and the addition of a corrosion inhibitor, the heating system is now set to deliver reliable performance for years to come. This comprehensive approach not only resolved the immediate issue but also enhanced the overall efficiency and lifespan of the heating system.
Conclusion
By diagnosing the problem accurately and implementing a thorough repair and maintenance plan, they ensured that the customer’s heating system was restored to optimal performance, providing peace of mind and reliable heating for the homeowner.
