Bright Blue Flame - The pilot light of your boiler should always be bright blue in colour, if the flame looks yellow or smokey it is important you contact us immediately.
Boiler Pressure - If you have a pressurised system, regularly check the pressure and if needed adjust it according to your boiler’s manual. A boiler too high or low in pressure will be less efficient and can increase your homes heating bills.
Test Your Heating System - Run your heating system for 10-15 minutes once a month to prevent any parts from seizing up and to highlight any potential problems.
Bleed Your Radiators - Regularly bleeding your radiators can help to remove excess air from the system, as well as improving any radiators which have cold spots or are cooler at the top.
Lagging - Using the correct lagging around your heating systems pipes can help to insulate them, helping to increase energy efficiency and avoid freezing during the colder months.
