How do you diagnose it?
Flame signal measurement in microamps; Earth continuity test; Combustion analysis through the firing range; Gas pressure under load. The readings are recorded so the repair decision is based on data.
Can I keep using the system in the meantime?
No — isolate the plant and call 069 268 0988. Running it in this condition risks further damage or an unsafe situation.
