What to do if your Boiler stops working
If your burner stops working it may be helpful to check the following common causes:

• Is there adequate oil in the tank? Carefully remove the cap on top, peer inside and judge if you have enough oil.

• Are the oil supply valves open? These could have been accidentally knocked off by animals or kids.

• Is the electricity supply active? Check if you have power. If you do, check your house's fusebox or tripswitch box to see if a certain circuit has been interrupted.

• Is the boiler / heater thermostat at the correct temperature? If set too low, it may not come on.

• Is the room thermostat set at the correct temperature? If set too low, it may not come on. Adjust it to around 20 degrees to see if that will make a difference.

• Has the reset button on the burner control box operated? Usually a sinlge press of this (red) button is enough to restart your boiler. If it trips out after a number of seconds, try once more. After that, call Lambe's Oil for assistance or any other qualified boiler repair service person.

• Check that the time clock registers the correct time. Your clock may not have the correct time due to a power loss at some stage, or being accidentally knocked.

 

If the boiler still fails to operate as normal, call Lambe's Oil on 057 9321000. We can provide the name of a recommended heating service engineer in your area or arrange a prompt delivery of home heating oil to you.
