Eggy Smell From Boiler - any ideas?
Anonymous user 1 March 2024 - 2.31 PM
We have a Worcester 28i Junior Combi Boiler running on gas. When it comes on (either through hot water or heating), it emits an eggy smell (which I believe could be Hydrogen Sulphide). I'm certain the smell isn't the mains gas. The dishwasher, washing machine and kitchen sink are in the vicinity of the boiler, but they are all brand new so I can't imagine they are causing the smell. Does anyone have any ideas how the boiler could be causing the smell and how it can be fixed? Thanks, Rory
