Spare a thought for your boiler!

Sep 24, 2019

Don't forget about your boiler when it's not in use.

Poor old boilers are often forgotten during the summer and we feel sorry for them. In fact (and this might sound a little strange), we would like to give your boiler some love.
 
Of course we're sorry to remind you about winter, that's not our intention at all, but when it does come you'll be glad you thought of this now. There is no better time.

It's always a good idea to service your boiler during the warmer months. If you're not using it then this can lead to issues when you do come to turn it on later in the year. Let's face it, it's going to be much more pleasant to sort any issues out while it's warm than it might be if something goes wrong during the winter. In addition to this, we are busier during the winter and when our services are in such demand it's often tricky to fit people in and industry prices can often rise during these months.
 
So apart from the doom and gloom of "What if it breaks?" there are other reasons. Servicing your boiler properly can lead to lower bills due to increasing the efficiency of the system. Deposits can build up and removing these can make a big difference. It's always nice to save a little money on your bills.
 
Anyway, we'll stop trying to convince you now and just say that if you do want our help we are here for you 24 hours a day. Get in touch with us on 0207 386 8888 or you can fill in this form here.
 

Top Tip!

If you don't use your boiler in the summer the motorised valves in the system can sometimes seize when you need them. Also the seals can harden during neglect which will cause leaks. 

If you switch your heating on once a month during the summer (just for 5 minutes) then this can keep the valves moving freely, give the pump a workout and will help to prevent issues.
