How to defrost your boiler's condensate pipe

Condensate pipes play a crucial role in the proper functioning of your boiler. If they become frozen, the boiler can stop working - and it's a common reason for your heating to stop working on the days you need it most, when it's really cold!

In this article, we'll provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to defrost your condensate pipes.

Step 1: Locate the condensate pipe
The condensate pipe is the pipe that runs from the boiler to the outside of your home.

Step 2: Apply heat to the pipe
If the pipe is frozen, you can defrost it by applying heat to the pipe, such as with a hair dryer or hot water.

Step 3: Check the pipe regularly
After defrosting the pipe, it's important to check it regularly to ensure it doesn't become frozen again.

By following these simple steps, you'll be able to defrost your condensate pipes and keep your boiler running smoothly. If the pipe is severely frozen, it's always best to call a professional to handle the task for you.
