Though you may be tempted to immediately call Ramtech to request a call out, here are 6 basic checks you can perform prior to any requirement for a chargeable visit:-
1. Check all controls are working correctly.
2. Ensure all thermostats are turned up/calling for the boiler to fire. This includes making sure any batteries in room thermostats are still O.K.
3. Is the boiler on lockout? If there’s no light you may have to take the front cover off the boiler to check for a dull red or orange light.
4. Has the lockout tripped? If so, have you got enough oil? Check the oil level in the oil storage tank. Don’t trust an electronic device! Always use a stick or cane if there’s no sight tube.
5. Inspect the system pressure levels to ensure there is sufficient pressure in the system as some units carry a low pressure cut out switch and will not operate until the correct pressure is established.
6. Has the boiler over heated? Check the boiler high limit hasn't tripped. Refer to the user manual for the location of any user reset locations.
If all the above has passed initial checks , get in touch and we will be happy to help resolve your issue.
