Winter Boiler Tips: Stay Warm with These Essential Tips from Your Cardiff Boiler Care Experts
As the temperatures drop, it’s important to ensure your boiler is ready for the demands of winter. A well-maintained heating system not only keeps your home warm but also helps avoid unexpected breakdowns during the colder months. Here are some top winter boiler tips to keep your boiler running smoothly all season long:
1. Book a Winter Boiler Service
Prevention is key! Scheduling an annual service ensures your boiler is in top condition before winter hits. A professional check-up helps identify any potential issues early, saving you from costly repairs or breakdowns when you need heat the most.
2. Check Your Boiler Pressure
Low boiler pressure can prevent your system from heating properly. Check the pressure gauge on your boiler—if it’s below 1 bar or in the red zone, you may need to repressurise it. If you’re unsure, we are here to help.
3. Bleed Your Radiators
If your radiators aren’t heating up evenly, it’s time to bleed them. This simple task removes trapped air and improves the efficiency of your heating system, ensuring every room stays warm.
4. Insulate Your Pipes
Frozen pipes can cause serious damage. To prevent them from freezing, insulate exposed pipes, especially those in colder areas like lofts and garages.
5. Test Your Thermostat
Ensure your thermostat is working properly to maintain consistent warmth without wasting energy. If your home feels too cold or too warm, recalibrate it to optimise efficiency.
