    Sometimes when we turn on our heat, the Firebird boiler doesn't fire up, but sounds like something is 'stuck' as there is a loudish humming noise. If we press the Reset button it seems to come on fine again.
    Sometimes there is a shorter 'humming noise' and then the boiler will fire up as normal.
    It was only installed 3yrs ago, and was serviced in September.

    The oil pump has a tight spot in it or the capacitor is weak and needs replacement
