As we become more and more aware of climate change and the heating of the planet, the UK is working towards a healthier, greener way of heating homes and a step closer to reaching the net zero goal set out by the UK government.

Here at Limegreen, we wanted to reassure our customers that it’s still safe to upgrade your boiler to an Award-Winning Worcester Bosch. Replacing natural gas boilers with hydrogen is the simplest solution to your heating needs, as we move towards a greener future and comply with the UK’s Hydrogen Strategy and the Welsh Development Quality Requirements.

Worcester Bosch Hydrogen-fired boiler

Even if you purchase your boiler between now and 2030 when the law comes into effect in Wales, Worcester Bosch have redesigned their models to be hydrogen ready, meaning you can still hold onto your boiler without the fear of it being deemed ‘banned’ by the UK or Welsh government.

The benefits of Hydrogen-fired boilers

Unlike natural gas that is emitted from a gas boiler, hydrogen does not produce carbon emissions when burnt, The only by-product of burning hydrogen gas is water, making it safer and healthier for the planet.

Hydrogen boilers will operate the same way as a gas boiler and heat your home as your gas boiler once did, and at no extra cost to you, if anything, it may be a little cheaper!

To help our customers decide which boiler is most suitable for their home, we have created an online boiler quote tool. By providing details about your home the online boiler quote tool will produce results detailing the best boilers for you. It considers amongst other things, the size of your home, the number of bathrooms and your current heating systems. ( Get a quote now )

So join us at Limegreen in making your home a little lighter on the planet as we welcome the new Worcester Bosch hydrogen-fired boilers.

There are five common problems that require immediate attention if your home is to stay warm and inviting during the festive season through the New Year, and a well maintained boiler not only keeps you cosy and warm but also money.

No Pilot light. 

This could mean you have a significant problem with your system that requires an expert right away. Pilot lights can go out as a fail safe to prevent an explosion from a build up of gas! If you smell gas you should leave the property and contact us immediately!

My boilers knocking and clunking 

This is an easy symptom to notice as the clunking and clanging is keeping you awake at night! This is probably caused by a build-up of air in the system. Leaking  or loose pipes, taps or connections can draw in air, and the same problem can be caused by low pressure. Not a serious problem but it is something you’ll need to call one of our engineers to resolve.

The lights are on but no one is home?

Everything seems to be working but your radiators are FREEZING! This is the most common fault with boilers and can happen with the new type of ‘condensation boiler’ that has a pipe at the back that funnels condensation away from the unit. Because it’s filled with water it can freeze during winter, causing the whole boiler to stall. This is something you can easily fix yourself  simply by defrosting the pipe with some warm (not boiling!) water. Simply pour it over the length of the pipe until it has thawed.

Working but not warm enough

You may be sat at home with the heating on but it just isn’t pumping out enough heat, what do you do? Well there are a number of causes for this problem,  but perhaps the most common is your thermostat is inaccurate. As a highly sensitive piece of equipment it can only take a slight knock to throw the thermostat out. It needs to be placed with a high degree of accuracy, and over time its delicate electronic components can wear out.  So before calling us to quote you for a new boiler it might be worthwhile checking the thermostat is up full or getting us to check out that old thermostat,  as that might be the main suspect.

The dreaded limescale 

In the same way it can effect your kettle, taps or shower, limescale and hard water are problems that Limegreen residents have had to deal with for years. The white residue from hard water can be visible in most appliance, but can go undetected in your boiler.  If this builds up it can significantly reduce your boilers efficiency and puts stress on the system. If this is the case you need to have it professionally removed using a specialist cleaning product.
