With spring in full bloom, now is an excellent time to inspect your gas boiler and make sure it has a good spring clean. After all, you spring clean your house, so why not your heating system? Read on for some useful tips about what you should be looking for and doing.
Get Your Boiler Serviced
We depend less on household boilers and central heating in the spring and summer. So, contrary to popular belief, now is the time to get your boiler serviced rather than later in the year. To avoid any unpleasant shocks when it becomes chilly again, make sure your boiler is in top functioning condition. Plan ahead of time and schedule your boiler service with us.
Don’t Forget Your Radiators
Not only does your boiler need care in the spring, but so do your radiators. Begin by polishing them to eliminate dust and keep them shining clean and bright. Then, bleed all of your radiators to gently remove the air that is preventing them from functioning correctly. Dirt can accumulate inside as well, necessitating a power flush. You can always speak to your heating engineer to see if this is needed.
Look For Any Leaks
Boiler leaks can occur at any time, although they are most common during the winter months. Pipes can freeze, expand, and crack, resulting in leaks when the weather warms. Check the seals surrounding the boiler to see sure everything is still firmly attached. If not, it’s wise to seek expert help.
