What happens if you have a leak in your boiler?
A leaking boiler or pipe will most likely lead to a pressure drop, which you can read about in almost perverted detail in this boiler pressure article. This leak will result in an inadequate water pressure level affecting the delivery of hot water to your taps.
What happens when the circulator of a boiler breaks?
Broken circulator pump: This pump is one of the small number of mechanical components required for a boiler to operate. The pump removes the heated water from the tank and sends it to the baseboard heaters and radiators throughout the house. If the pump should break, no hot water will circulate. Repair technicians will need to replace the pump.

What happens if there is no pilot light in the boiler?
