A Guide To Boiler Error Codes

Having a faulty boiler is highly inconvenient, especially in the winter months. 

It can be hard to know whether you can solve the issue yourself or if you will require the services of a heating engineer. Some issues can be resolved by resetting your boiler or venting your radiators, but other issues will need a professional gas engineer. Hiring a gas engineer for your boiler repairs offers peace of mind that a qualified professional has successfully managed the fault.
