1) Low Pressure
If the boiler pressure is low, you need to top it up and possibly reset your boiler to get the central heating system in fully working order. The pressure may have dropped due to the boilers or a central heating system leak, so it is advised to inspect it thoroughly to see any signs of leaks or damp patches in the house.

2) Frozen Condensate Pipe
A potential boiler breakdown can be a frozen condensate pipe during the winter. You can thaw the pipe temporarily, however we suggest consulting a heating engineer to upgrade your condensate and to ensure it is correctly installed. How To Thaw A Frozen Condensate Pipe And Prevent It From Freezing.
3) Boiler or Thermostat Settings Issues
Check your smart thermostat settings, or that you haven’t set your central heating to come on a timer. Try replacing the batteries of the thermostat where necessary.
