Although we are now well into the Spring, the chill is back once again as many parts of the UK saw snow covering them during the early days of March. This cold snap means that unfortunately, we are all having to get our central heating on to make sure that our home stays warm.
The boiler is one of the most important parts of the home, and making sure that we are warm is essential for our health. However, there are lots of things that you can do if you want to extend the lifespan of your boiler – after all, if you take good care of your boiler then you are likely to get many more years out of it and not have to worry about going to the expense of replacing it any time soon.
Here are some of the things that help to keep your boiler healthy…
An Annual Boiler Service – One of the most important things to do in order to make sure that all is going well with your boiler is to make sure that you get a professional like this boiler service Cheltenham based company combi-man.com/ to come and check the boiler and service it once a year.
This way, faults can be picked up and sorted out before they become a bigger problem.
Flush out the System – A boiler that is a little older can really benefit from having the system flushed through every so often. Sludge builds up in boilers over time leading to them having problems and being less effective generally, so getting the system flushed out will remove all of this build up and debris keeping your boiler in good working order for longer.
Run the Boiler in the Summer too – Although it is not necessary to use the heating over the summer months, it is not recommended that you turn your boiler off completely for such a long period of time. A boiler that is not in use for a few months can actually develop problems due to this and it leads to blockages being formed and when you go to turn your boiler back on this could mean having to pay for expensive repairs to be done on it.
