Why does my Saunier Duval boiler provide hot water but not heating?

The most common causes are: the boiler may be set to summer mode (hot water only), the room thermostat may be set too low, thermostatic radiator valves may be turned down or off, or there may be a fault with the diverter valve (3-way valve) which directs hot water between the heating circuit and hot water outlet.

Why is my Saunier Duval boiler making a banging or kettling noise?

Banging, popping, or whistling noises (known as kettling) typically indicate that water is overheating inside the boiler. This is often caused by limescale buildup on the heat exchanger, restricted water flow, a failing circulation pump, or incorrect thermostat settings. Air trapped in the system can also cause gurgling sounds.

How do I repressurise my Saunier Duval boiler?

Before approaching the boiler, ensure there is no smell of gas. Locate the filling loop underneath your boiler - this is typically a flexible silver hose with two taps or valves. Ensure the boiler is switched off and has cooled down. Open both filling loop taps slowly to allow water into the system. Watch the pressure gauge and fill until it shows between 1 and 1.5 bar. Close both taps securely once the correct pressure is reached.

How does frost protection work on Saunier Duval boilers?

Saunier Duval boilers include built-in frost protection that automatically activates if the boiler is left unattended in cold conditions. The frost protection device will light the boiler when the temperature of the boiler water falls below 6°C. When the temperature reaches 16°C, the boiler stops. This cycle repeats as needed to prevent the system from freezing. For frost protection to function, the boiler must remain connected to the electrical supply and have gas available.

How do I prepare my Saunier Duval boiler for winter?

Before winter, check the boiler pressure is between 1 and 1.5 bar and repressurise if needed. Bleed all radiators to remove trapped air. Test the heating by switching it on for a short period to ensure it fires up and heats the radiators evenly. Check that the condensate pipe (if external) is adequately insulated to prevent freezing. Most importantly, book your annual service before the cold weather arrives to ensure your boiler is in good working order.
