Having a frozen condensate pipe will cause your Worcester boiler to stop working, which means no heating or hot water when you need it most, in freezing winter weather. I have been fixing boilers full-time for over a decade and when the weather is freezing, the majority of calls I get for a boiler not working are
Learning how to stop a condensate pipe freezing could save you a lot of time defrosting it, or money calling someone out. A broken down boiler in the freezing winter is a nightmare and often easily preventable. I have been a full-time heating engineer for over a decade and fixing boilers because of a frozen
Worcester boiler condensate traps can get very dirty and eventually blocked if they are not cleaned out which means your boiler will not fire up. They get full of all sorts of weird gunk and sometimes bees and other insects that get in through the flue terminal outside. I have been servicing boilers for over a decade

Ideal boiler condensate traps can get very dirty and eventually blocked if they are not cleaned out. They get full of all sorts of weird gunk and sometimes bees and other insects that get in through the flue terminal outside. I have been servicing boilers for a decade and I have cleaned my fair share
Condensing boilers produce condensate wastewater from the flue pipe (chimney) that needs to run freely down through the boiler, into a condensate trap, then down a condensate pipe and discharged into a drain. Having your boiler condensate pipe blocked means your boiler will not work. Boiler condensate pipes become blocked regularly, often from freezing in
