Do you need to get your boiler ready for winter? Any person wouldn’t want their boilers to break down during the winter season. With freezing temperatures, ice and snow, you need your homes to be a warm and comfortable place to retreat. So even before the seasons starts, you want to make sure that your boiler is up and ready for the cold season.
Tips in Getting Your Boiler Ready for Winter
We have created a checklist for you to do over the summer to get your boiler ready for winter .
- Remove the air in the radiators by bleeding them out. This will ensure that your radiators will give out as much heat in the cold season as possible.
- Check the pressure if they are within the recommended levels. This should be done if you have a pressurized system.
- If what you have is a condensing boiler, make sure that the condensate pipe running outside the house is insulated so that ice build up is prevented.
- The pipes inside the loft should also be properly insulated to prevent it from freezing. Bear in mind that the loft is one part of the house that is considered the coldest.
- Install a carbon monoxide alarm in order to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Schedule a regular boiler maintenance from a Gas Safe Registered company to ensure that it is properly working, safe and that it is running efficiently.
