Waterfall Ridge · Same-day
Gas Boiler Not Igniting in Waterfall Ridge
The boiler attempts to start, clicks or purges, then locks out without lighting. This page covers how we diagnose and repair it on boilers in Waterfall Ridge.
This fault is normally treated as same-day work because the site has effectively lost hot water, steam or safe operation.
Waterfall Ridge sits within the Midrand belt, with larger stands, long hot water runs and frequent pool heating. Static pressure and dead-leg length are checked as part of any hot water complaint here. Sites with long, poorly insulated pipework lose more heat in distribution than most owners expect, which reads as a capacity problem at the outlet.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What causes gas boiler not igniting?
The usual causes are failed ignition electrode or transformer, no gas supply or closed valve, gas solenoid or valve failure, air pressure switch not proving. Which one it is can only be confirmed by measurement, not by symptom alone.
How do you diagnose it?
Electrode gap and spark test; Gas pressure measurement at the train; Air proving switch continuity test; Flue and condensate path inspection. 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.
Do you attend this fault in Waterfall Ridge?
Yes. Midrand and Centurion sit between the Johannesburg and Pretoria routes, so attendance windows are usually the shortest of any area. Waterfall Ridge visits carry heat pump and geyser spares together, since both are commonly installed on the same property.
