- In extreme cold weather your boiler may not start and show a fault, this could be because of a frozen condensate pipe. A dead give away is if the boiler starts to develop a gurgling noise.
- This is an easy to fix issue that you can perfoem. All you need to do is pour hot water over the condensate pipe. So put the kettle on!
- Once your kettle has boiled let it cool down. Let the kettle cool down for fifteen minutes or if your freezing top up the kettle with cold water. It’s important to do this so that you cut down the chances of burning yourself and also so that you dont crack the condensate pipe.
- Nine times out of ten condensate pipes freeze near to the ground, so simply pour the hot water over the pipe slowly.
- Now you have thawed the condensate pipe it’s time to reset the boiler.
