There are some investments in life that depreciate over time, from buying a new car to having a boiler and central heating system installed in your home.
With this type of unusual but important investment, there’s a pressing need to take care of the underlying assets and adopt a proactive approach to keeping them in tip-top competition.
But how do you achieve this in the case of your central heating system?
How to maintain your heating system
1. Keep an Eye on your Radiators
Have you ever noticed cold spots appearing on your radiators? If so, you’re not alone, and this is indicative of trapped air in your heating system.
This is a common and recurring issue in central heating systems, but over time it can undermine the efficiency of your boiler and cause its bar pressure to increase incrementally.
Fortunately, there’s a breath-takingly simple solution. By bleeding your radiators and releasing the trapped air through their individual valves, you can restore the system to it full health and boost its performance considerably!
2. Turn up the Heat with Pipe Lagging
As the winter months draw in and the temperature drops, you’ll run the continual risk of your pipework freezing.
This can prevent your central heating system from functioning efficiently, whilst in the worst-case scenario it may even cause individual pipes to burst.
With pipe lagging, however, you can provide additional installation for your pipes and prevent them from freezing no matter how cold it may get!
3. Have your Boiler Serviced
In order to keep your boiler running efficiently over time, you’ll also need to rely on the support of a qualified and accredited heating engineer.
One way in which they can help is by providing an annual boiler service, which requires an engineer to visit your property and run a number of tests to check the efficiency of the unit.
This not only helps to identify any issues before they become too costly to repair, but it may also enable you to respect the terms of your warranty.
