A little help in this deep freeze we are having! 🥶🥶🥶
Little tip for anyone having problems with their combi boiler in this cold weather.. if your boiler stops working, before you call out a gas engineer, check that the condensate pipe isn't frozen. This is the pipe that comes outside your house from the boiler, and normally runs into where your other pipes run.
This can easily become frozen and stop your boiler working.. This happend to one of my houses the other day. The tenant had no heating or hot water, but I new about this so called round and checked and this was the issue. I just boiled a kettle and poored it over the pipe on the outside of the house, this unfroze the water inside and then re started the boiler and it was all working again. 🔥🔥
Check this before you call out a gas engineer, save yourself some money.
