Quick-fix tips to get your boiler back up & running safely
Got a boiler or heating emergency? Our quick troubleshoot guides will help you get your boiler back up & running safely. Need help? Call Combi Care for fast-response support.
How to get your boiler back up and running
Most boiler faults start with the same few checks: is the power on, is the boiler pressure in the green zone, and has the timer or thermostat been knocked off schedule? Work through these basics before you call — often it's a quick fix you can do yourself in a couple of minutes.
How to re-set your combi boiler
Many combi boilers have a simple reset button, usually marked with a reset symbol on the display or control panel. Hold it for a few seconds, wait for the boiler to relight, and give it a couple of minutes to settle. If it locks out again straight away, that's a sign to call us rather than keep resetting it.
