With the temperatures rapidly plunging outside, being without heat is not only uncomfortable, but dangerous as well. The reasons behind your boiler system not working could be a simple answer, but your best bet would be to call a professional to inspect every part.

If you’re experiencing no heat and no hot water associated with your boiler system, chances are there is something broken. The broken part may be a valves or airlocks or it may be something as simple as the water levels in your system.

This issue could also be the result of pump failure. If your boiler system is dated, this can be a very common issue. Flushing the system is the best way to handle this problem, but it is recommended that you allow a professional to make the repairs.
