We’re going to be looking at the importance of boiler maintenance because, as we’re already in autumn, we know winter is fast approaching. It’s important to think about it now before the really bad weather sets in because if we don’t, we’re left in the thick of it. When your boiler starts to play up, the worse cases scenario is that you’re left with a broken boiler. That’s bad enough but add to that the poor weather, winds, frost and rain and you’re looking at a cold house with no hot water and heating.
In order to avoid this, maintenance is crucial, because by having your boiler service carried out on a regular basis you’re doing the hard work now, so your boiler works for you when you need it most, throughout the winter months. Here at Hometech we usually recommend that you have your boiler serviced annually so you pick up problems early and that your boiler is fit for use throughout the colder seasons.
Check your boiler is in working order before it’s too late
There may be problems developing with your boiler that you don’t even realise yet, which over time could lead to the boiler failing completely. Forewarned is forearmed, and is very true of the march towards winter and the inclement weather that’s almost guaranteed in the UK. A qualified heating engineer will carry out a thorough inspection by checking the meters, the tanks, the heating system and make sure all of them are working efficiently. This will benefit you in the long run by helping you to avoid any costly repairs, therefore you’re saving money in the long-term.
Consider also the environment and your personal safety
Gas boilers can emit harmful levels of carbon monoxide, and as you may know, this is particularly dangerous if you’re exposed to it over a long period of time. This can happen without you even noticing. An annual checkup of your boiler can help you avoid this happening. Despite the initial cost of the check, you will get a return on your investment over time because you’ll be spending less on costly repairs. You’ll also be keeping your family safe from carbon monoxide and any other boiler accidents that can occur around gas, most of which have the potential to be fatal.
