boiler flue and cage black

km79 · 2014-01-03 19:14:56

Quick question . I noticed today the front of the boiler flue and protective cage are black. Never been like this before. They are at the back of the house which is south facing so I'm wondering is it due to the constant high winds we have had blowing smoke back ?

Sounds like poor combustion, get it service and the flue gas analysed

Could be coincidental with wind as could be a faulty burner component or fuel issue but could also be leaves in the air intake caused by the wind.

As DGOBS says, a service call is the only answer.
