Suriviving a boiler breakdown
The temperature has dropped and it’s freezing. All of a sudden, your central heating system starts malfunctioning and suffers a complete boiler breakdown. For whatever reason, immediate repairs cannot be done and you would have to endure the freezing cold a while longer. If you, and your family, can go to another property that is properly heated such as another house or a hotel, then lucky you. For those who can’t, you can try the following tips in order to lessen the discomfort that you are definitely going to experience.
- Do wear a lot of clothing. Layer it up with multiple jumpers, socks and thermal wear. Wearing a coat, bonnet or gloves may look awkward while inside the house but covering up will make your body retain heat for a longer period of time. Just remember that your clothing must be comfortable and must not restrict your movement to avoid accidents.
- Utilize alternative safe heating sources to warm up a room in your house and stay there. Electric space heaters, while not very effective as a normal heating system and quite expensive to use continuously, it can provide the necessary heat in your home in the absence of either a log or gas fireplace.
- Keep the curtains drawn to act as a blanket in keeping the cold out, and the warmth in, of the heated room. Putting tapes around the window is another way of keeping the draught out of your home.
- Despite a broken boiler, you may have hot water remaining in your hot water cylinder. Depending on your system, an electric immersion heater can still provide hot water for your home. If there is none, then use kettles to heat water. While you cannot use the shower, draw up a bath using water heated in a kettle. This may be time consuming but at least you’ll have hot water.
- You can double up on the blankets when you sleep at night, when it is the coldest. Better yet, use an electric blanket if you own one.
