As everyone is aware, the cost of living has dramatically increased for homeowners, and we find ourselves paying more attention to the amount of money we’re spending on household bills. From turning down the thermostat on the central heating to making sure we don’t keep the taps running continuously, we can all do our bit to save money without being too harsh.
Our team at Warmer Brothers Plumbing & Heating has put together a few tips you may like to follow in order to maintain the life of your boiler. We can also advise on how boiler servicing can keep bills down.
There are several ways in which you can extend the life of your boiler and avoid emergency boiler repair work. The first one is regular servicing by a professional company. At Warmer Brothers Plumbing & Heating, we’re specialists in boiler fault finding, helping prevent major issues. Once we’ve finished, our domestic plumbers will provide you with a boiler safety certificate as confirmation that your boiler is safe for use.
If you weigh up the costs of routine checks and minor servicing against the expense of a complete refit and upgrade, you’ll be amazed at the difference. Smaller outgoings now will save you a lot in the future.
If air becomes trapped in a radiator, it prevents the entire central heating system from doing its job correctly. This puts pressure on the boiler as we’re more inclined to boost up the thermostat and keep the system running for longer than it should. Bleeding your radiators doesn’t take up a lot of time and will ensure they emit a uniform amount of heat.
All you need is a radiator key, which is readily available online and from DIY stores. You may even find them in your local supermarket in Tunbridge Wells or Tonbridge. Insert the key into the valve at the top of the radiator and turn it anti-clockwise until you hear the air releasing. When the hissing has stopped, close the valve. Newer radiators also allow you to do this by using a flathead screwdriver.
Central heating inhibitors are chemical solutions that break down any buildup of debris or sludge in your boiler. These form as a result of corrosion and limescale, degrading the boiler from the inside, and common in households throughout Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge with very hard water. We can add these inhibitors as part of our boiler repairs and servicing.
The sludge found in the boiler will also contain rust gathered from the insides of radiators and pipes. Magnetic filters will help remove this rotting substance.
Our team of domestic plumbers at Warmer Brothers Plumbing & Heating also recommend inserting a smart thermostat, as it will only heat your home when the temperature has dipped below a predetermined level. As a result, your boiler won’t be continuously running and in need of constant boiler repairs.
