The Power of Power Flushing
Firstly, one of the maintenance tips worth including in this blog post is power flushing; power flushing is a service carried out by engineers, which involves removing the sludge, rust and any other debris that builds up in the central heating system. By doing this, the central heating system can start operating and functioning efficiently, as you may have once remembered it to.
Why is power flushing a great boiler maintenance tip? Well, that's because by leaving the sludge, rust and other debris to build up in the central heating system, it could cause future expenses if problems/faults occur.
You should also be aware that you should hire a Gas Safe registered engineer to perform power flushing services in your property. Interested in the power of power flushing? Find out more information about this service on our service page for power flushing.
Bleeding The Radiators
By bleeding the radiators in your property, you can increase the efficiency of your radiators and have them performing as you once remember them. This is another great boiler maintenance tip and if you'd like to find out more, you can read about this over on our blog post on how to bleed a radiator.
Boiler Servicing
Boiler servicing is also a great way to keep your boiler in great condition. Likewise with power flushing, boiler servicing is another service offered by engineers and you should also have a Gas Safe registered engineer perform this service in your home. Also, boiler servicing is a service which landlords are legally required to have on their property annually.
Boiler Servicing is when an engineer conducts the essential tests and checks on your boiler to ensure it is running efficiently and is in great condition. Here at Bog Standard Plumbing and Heating, we offer boiler servicing; so find out more about this service on our service page for boiler servicing.
Other Tips Worth Mentioning
Other boiler maintenance tips are to lag the pipes; which involves preventing them from freezing during the colder months; keeping the pressure up, as boilers do not run properly when the pressure is low; and finally to switch your boiler off; this means that whilst we hardly use our boilers in the summer, you should consider switching them on for around 15 Minutes per month during the summer to prevent future problems when the winter comes around again.
