Chaffoteaux Boiler Repairs Swansea & South Wales
Chaffoteaux was a French boiler manufacturer that produced popular models in the UK during the 1980s and 1990s. The brand was absorbed by Ariston Thermo Group and boilers are no longer manufactured under the Chaffoteaux name in the UK. However, many Chaffoteaux boilers remain in service across Swansea and South Wales. Our engineers are experienced in maintaining and repairing these older units, and can advise on replacement options when parts are no longer available.

Common Chaffoteaux Boiler Problems
Through years of working on Chaffoteaux boilers, we have become familiar with the faults these models are most prone to. Here are the issues we see most often:
- Pilot light failure — thermocouple degradation is very common on these older models
- Heat exchanger leaks — age-related corrosion can cause weeping or dripping
- Intermittent ignition problems — the piezo ignition system wears out over time
- Gas valve failure — these components become stiff and unreliable with age
- Obsolete parts — some spares are discontinued, requiring compatible alternatives or a boiler replacement
- Carbon monoxide risk — older Chaffoteaux boilers should be tested annually due to age-related deterioration
If your Chaffoteaux boiler is displaying a fault code or behaving unusually, do not ignore it. Early diagnosis can prevent a minor issue from becoming an expensive repair.
Chaffoteaux Boiler Servicing
An annual boiler service is essential for keeping your Chaffoteaux boiler running safely and efficiently. During a service, we carry out a comprehensive set of checks including flue gas analysis, gas pressure testing, electrical connection inspection and a full visual examination of all components. Regular servicing not only extends the life of your Chaffoteaux boiler but is also a requirement for maintaining most manufacturer warranties.

Replacing Your Chaffoteaux Boiler
As Chaffoteaux boilers are no longer manufactured, replacement parts are becoming increasingly difficult to source and more expensive when available. If your Chaffoteaux boiler is frequently breaking down or approaching the end of its working life, replacing it with a modern high-efficiency condensing boiler could save you hundreds of pounds per year on gas bills. Modern A-rated boilers operate at over 90% efficiency compared to the 60-70% typical of older Chaffoteaux models. We can advise on the best replacement boiler for your property and budget, and handle the full installation from start to finish.
