Why does my boiler shut down after a few minutes?
Just replaced rad’s after decorating, didn’t flush them when putting them back (stupid I know) heating worked fine for a day, now the boiler fires up after a couple of minutes the pipes in the boiler make a hammering noise and the boiler shuts itself down.
Why does my boiler make a popping noise when it fires up?
If your boiler makes a single BANG only when it fires up, it’s most likely due to delayed ignition. If your boiler makes recurring banging, popping noises as it operates, it’s most likely due to “kettling”.
Is it better to turn down the boiler or turn it down?
Basically, the cooler your boiler runs the more efficient it will be – provided it’s still running hot enough to get your house up to temp in the same reasonable time (ie – don’t turn the boiler down so much it’s running all the time but never trips the room ‘stat!)
Is it normal for a gas boiler to come on and off?
All new gas boilers will modulate themselves down to meet the demand of the heating load. It is normal for the boiler to come on and off but not at the rate you described. is it a sytem boiler or heat only? model of boiler? is there a auto bypass fitted? how long does the system take to heat up?

What happens if the boiler pressure is too low?
Boiler pressure is a term used to describe the pressure of the hot water running through the central heating system. Should the boiler pressure drop too low, the central heating will fail to work. Increasing the boiler pressure is something you can do without calling out a heating engineer.
