However, if the valve has deteriorated and will no longer run smoothly, the engineer will replace it. Specialist heating engineers and boiler repair companies will be able to test the valve and inspect it after each adjustment to determine if this is the problem. They’ll determine if it is and adjust your boiler accordingly to fix any fault codes.
