Winter is Around the Corner: Is Your Boiler Ready?
As the chill sets in, we naturally gravitate towards cosy sweaters, warm drinks and the comforting heat of our homes. But there’s one essential part of winter prep that often slips our minds – the boiler!
After limited use for months, your boiler could surprise you with a few hiccups when it’s time to crank up the heat. Before the cold season fully arrives, it’s a good idea to make sure everything’s working smoothly.
Here are our top 3 tips to keep your boiler in peak condition this winter:
1. Adjust Your Thermostat
Lowering your thermostat during the winter can help maintain a steady temperature while conserving energy. For even greater convenience, consider upgrading to a programmable thermostat that adjusts your home’s heat based on your daily schedule.
2. Regularly Bleed Your Radiators
Bleeding your radiators can greatly improve your boiler’s efficiency by ensuring even heat distribution throughout your home. Aim to do this at least once a year—if you haven’t done it yet, now’s the time to grab that radiator key!
3. Clean Your Oil Boiler
Clearing dust from your boiler can boost its performance and help lower heating costs. While you can clean the exterior yourself, it’s best to have an OFTEC-registered engineer handle the internal cleaning for safety and efficiency.
