Here at Your Plumbing and Heating, our heating engineers are always available for last-minute heating emergencies in Loughborough. However, we know that heating emergencies aren’t ideal for anyone. So, in this blog post we share some preventative measures you can do to avoid last-minute hearting emergencies, while keeping your boiler in good working order, which will help reduce the risk of boiler breakdowns.
One way to prevent last minute heating emergencies is to book an annual boiler service in Loughborough. This regular boiler service will jeep your boiler running efficiently and safely. During your boiler service our certified heating engineers will check all critical components, clean filters and check for leaks and pressure issues. If any arise, we can repair them before bigger and more costly issues.
You may notice that your heating isn’t performing as well as it usually does. This can be down to two issues. You need to check the pressure gauge on your boiler. It’s a good idea to bleed your radiators too. If you are still having issues with the distribution of heat through your home, call in the boiler engineer specialists.
Heating issues can sometimes arise with outdated or faulty thermostats. Our boiler engineers can advise on this, but you may want to consider upgrading to a smart thermostat. This will maintain energy efficiency and enable you to better control your heating schedule.
Good insulation throughout your home will help reduce the strain on your boiler and heating system. This is because your home will be able to retain the heat for longer. Check your home for drafts around windows and doors. Blocking these cold drafts will help to look after your heating system as it won’t need to work as hard to keep your home warm.
If minor issues occur, such as strange noises, leaks or fluctuating temperatures – don’t ignore them. Call in our boiler engineers. It could be a quick fix. However, when left unresolved it could lead to a major breakdown which can take a lot of time and money to repair. By calling in the heating engineers as soon as there is an issue, you will save yourself time, stress and money.
