Central Heating Leak FAQ’s
Does my heating need to be on for you to detect leaks?
Yes, we will need you top top up the boiler pressure, turn your heating on and the thermostat / thermostats to max around 1 hour before our arrival.
This will ensure your heating plumbing pipes are at the maximum temperature, making the heat energy traceable using thermal imaging. This ensures efficiency in our process helping to ensure a successful trace and access.
How much does leak detection cost?
The fixed-price leak detection cost depends on the type of property and suspected source of the leak.
The price is usually less to locate a leak in a domestic property than in a commercial building.
If you have trace and access cover on your home insurance policy then our you should be able to claim back our “trace and access” costs.
The cost of leak detection can quickly be saved when considering the costs of running central heating in the UK. A leak on your central heating system will result in increased energy usage, increasing the cost of heating your home.
Does trace and access cover the costs of central heating leak detection?
Trace and access does not cover the costs of repairs or replacements for central heating leak problems; however, they will cover the costs of locating water leaks on your property.
Most insurance companies will cover eligible expenses, like accidental damage to infrastructure or furniture.
If you’re unsure of your coverage, contact your insurance company to find out more and get repair cost clarity.
Does central heating leak Sealer work?
Central heating leak sealer is a temporary solution for repairing heating leaks.
A leak sealer has limited effectiveness as it usually masks the true problem and doesn’t address the underlying cause of central heating leaks.
Professional expertise is recommended for significant leaks and lasting solutions, as not all heating systems are compatible with leak sealers.
Are there any DIY methods to detect heating leaks?
There are some visual inspections that a homeowner can carry out in an attempt to find a heating leak before calling us.
