A broken boiler can quickly turn a comfortable home into a chilly and inconvenient place. At SmartGas, we understand how critical a working boiler is to your family’s comfort. That’s why our team of experienced and certified heating engineers provides fast, reliable, and affordable boiler repair services across Edinburgh.

With several decades of experience, we have the expertise to repair all major boiler brands, including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal, and Glow-worm. Our priority is getting your boiler back up and running smoothly, minimising disruption to your home.

We will agree on the work required to get your boiler working again. To give you peace of mind, our 12-month parts and labour guarantee for all boiler repairs will cover any work carried out.

Common Boiler Problems We Fix

Boilers can develop a range of issues over time, many of which can be quickly diagnosed and repaired by our skilled engineers. Some of the most common boiler problems we encounter include:

No Heating or Hot Water:

  • Often caused by broken airlocks, motorised valves, or a faulty thermostat. We’ll troubleshoot and fix the problem so you can enjoy hot water again.

Pilot Light Going Out:

  • This could be due to a faulty thermocouple, issues with gas supply, or drafts. Our engineers can relight your pilot and resolve any underlying issues to keep it burning.

Kettling:

  • If your boiler is making a noise like a kettle boiling, it may be due to sludge buildup or limescale. We can clean and flush the system to resolve the issue.

Leaking or Dripping Boiler:

  • Leaks can occur due to faulty internal components, including pressure valves or pumps. We’ll diagnose the source and provide a quick, lasting repair.

Boiler Losing Pressure:

  • If your boiler frequently loses pressure, it may indicate a leak or a faulty pressure relief valve. Our engineers will identify and fix the root cause to stabilise your boiler pressure.

Radiators Not Heating Properly:

  • This can be due to sludge or air buildup in your radiators. We can bleed or power flush your system to restore proper heating.

      BOILER REPAIR FAQs

      How much does a boiler repair cost?

      The cost of boiler repairs can vary depending on the nature of the problem and the parts required. We will provide a transparent quote upfront so there are no surprises.

      How do I know if my boiler needs repairing or replacing?

      Our qualified engineers will assess your boiler and advise on whether a repair is feasible or if replacing your system is more cost-effective. Frequent breakdowns and high repair costs show that a replacement boiler might be needed.

      How soon can you repair my boiler?

      We aim to provide same-day or next-day repair services, especially in emergencies. We can usually diagnose the issue quickly, often within 1 hour. Any delay will usually be due to whether the required part is in stock. Contact us to arrange an appointment, and we’ll prioritise your needs.

      What if my boiler can't be fixed?

      If we can’t repair your boiler, we can arrange for a free quotation to install a new one. This may happen if your boiler is very old and particular parts are no longer manufactured.

      What should I do if I smell gas?

      If you smell gas, turn off your boiler, open windows for ventilation, and call the National Gas Emergency Service at 0800 111 999 immediately. Do not attempt to fix the problem yourself.

      An engineer will come to your door and fix the problem quickly, and you won’t have to worry about labour or parts.
