We have all felt the cold this week with the white snow parts of Kent and Sussex. As the weather is starting to get frosty, it is very important to take the time and prepare your home. That involves making sure your boiler is serviced and working in its peak condition, with minus temperatures we are facing your pipes can freeze and burst.
It is very important to check the pipes of your house. If they are not insulated, you are increasing the risk of letting them freeze or burst during cold temperatures like we are experiencing.
The boiler is even bigger issue than a frozen pipe. As it’s a safety issue and if it breaks down, you are risking yourself of having costly repairs and not having heating or hot water in the coldest days of the year.
Here is a simple guide to prevent such a scenario from Abbey Boilers:
Have your heating system and boiler serviced by a qualified engineer. Just in case you forgot to have your heating system or boiler checked this year, the best time to have it checked is when winter is still on its way. Having it serviced means our heating experts from Abbey Boilers can take a look at your equipment and check if it is working properly. If any defects or malfunctions are detected, we can repair it as soon as possible. It is better to find out minor problems and solve them as soon as possible rather than wait for the problems to get worse then have the issues fixed.
You don’t want any issues from your boiler and heating system in the dead of winter. Just imagine yourself not having heating or hot water in your home with the weather we have been having this week. Apart from the fact that putting up with heating problems during winter is very inconvenient, finding a heating engineer to attend to you might be difficult because they are extremely busy during cold periods like this with all the other lockdown issues we are all experiencing.
