Boiler showing fault code or not working? I'll reset it and check for simple non-gas issues - low pressure, power, settings. If it's more complex, I'll advise what you need.
### Before You Call An Expensive Gas Engineer
Your boiler's **displaying a fault code**. Or just **not working**. Heating off, no hot water, and you're googling whether you need an emergency callout.
Gas Safe engineers charge £80-120 just to turn up. **Sometimes it's something simple** - low pressure, wrong setting, needs resetting. Sometimes it genuinely needs a qualified engineer.
I'll check the simple stuff first. If I can fix it, brilliant. If you need Gas Safe, at least you haven't paid premium rates to find out.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Modern boilers lock out for all sorts of reasons - many just need resetting. But some faults mean proper problems that need Gas Safe expertise.

### What I Can Check
| ✅ I Can Fix | ❌ Needs Gas Safe | |--------------|-------------------| | Reset lockout | Gas smell (turn off, call National Gas Emergency) | | Low pressure - repressurise | Broken parts need replacing | | Check power/fuse | Complex fault codes | | Thermostat settings | Anything involving gas work | | Timer/programmer issues | Annual service and certification |
---
### What I'll Do
**🔧 Basic Checks**
1. Check what fault code is showing 2. Look up what it means 3. Check simple causes: - Water pressure (can repressurise if needed) - Power supply and fuse - Thermostat settings - Timer/programmer 4. Reset boiler if appropriate 5. Test if heating/hot water works 6. Advise if you need Gas Safe engineer
**📦 You'll Get**
- Honest assessment of the problem - Simple fixes done if possible - Clear advice on what you need - Fault code explained - Heating back on if it's simple

### Pricing
| Service | Time | You'll Pay | |---------|------|------------| | Boiler check and reset | 15-20 mins | **£60** |
*£60 if I can fix it. £60 if I can't but at least you know what's wrong. Much cheaper than gas engineer callout for a simple reset.*

### When To Call Me vs Gas Safe
**Call me first if:** - Fault code but no gas smell - Boiler just stopped, nothing obvious wrong - You've tried basic reset and it's not worked - Want simple checks before paying engineer rates
**Call Gas Safe emergency instead if:** - Gas smell (or call National Gas Emergency: 0800 111 999) - Carbon monoxide alarm going off - Visible damage or leaks - Annual service due (legal requirement for landlords)

What to Expect
### Step 1: Check The Fault Look at fault code, check what boiler is telling us. Some codes are simple, some mean proper problems. ### Step 2: Basic Checks Water pressure, power, settings, basic operation. If it's something simple, I'll sort it. ### Step 3: Reset & Test If appropriate, reset and test. If heating comes back on - job done. If not - you need Gas Safe and I'll explain why.

Good to Know
**I'm not Gas Safe registered.** I can check non-gas issues and reset, but anything involving gas work needs a qualified engineer. I'll be honest about what you need. **Gas smell?** Don't call me. Turn off gas at meter, open windows, DON'T use electrical switches, evacuate, call National Gas Emergency: 0800 111 999. **Landlord?** You legally need annual Gas Safe servicing. This isn't that - this is for when boiler stops working between services. **Old boiler keeps failing?** Might be time to consider replacement vs constant repairs. I can give honest advice - I don't sell boilers so no vested interest.
Frequently Asked Questions about Boiler reset in Newton Abbot
What can you actually do with a boiler?
I can reset it, check for simple faults (low pressure, wrong settings, tripped electrics), and advise what's needed. I'm NOT Gas Safe registered so I can't do gas work. If it needs a gas engineer, I'll tell you straight away.
Why has my boiler stopped working?
Common simple causes: low water pressure, power issue, incorrect thermostat setting, temporary fault that just needs resetting. These I can sort. Gas issues, broken parts, complex faults - you need a Gas Safe engineer.
When do I need a Gas Safe engineer instead?
If there's a gas smell, if the fault code indicates a gas problem, if parts need replacing, or if reset doesn't work - you need Gas Safe. I'll be honest about what's needed and can recommend someone if you like.
How much does a boiler reset cost?
£60 for the callout. If it's a simple fix (reset, adjust pressure, check settings) that's all you pay. If it needs a gas engineer, at least you know what the problem is.
What if reset doesn't fix it?
Then you need a Gas Safe engineer. I'll explain what I found, what fault code means, and what you should tell the engineer. At least you're not paying gas engineer callout rates for something simple.
