Four Boiler Maintenance Tips to Think About 

Below are some helpful tips to keeping your boiler in great condition; however, if you require our services, you can find more of our contact details below. 

Lag The Pipes

Firstly, as the temperatures are capable of dropping below zero in the colder months of the year, this can cause the condensate pipe to freeze. Which can ultimately cause the boiler to cut out as a safety precaution. To prevent this, consider pouring warm water of the ice on the pipes to melt the ice; alternatively, you could also think about insulating the pipe or keeping your heating on low to prevent this. 

Power Flushing Services

Another great boiler maintenance tip is to have a Gas Safe registered engineer perform power flushing on your property. If you're wondering what power flushing is and does, power flushing removes the sludge, rust and other debris that builds up in the central heating system. By receiving  power flushing service, you can increase the lifespan of your central heating system and improve the efficiency of your central heating system.

Boiler Servicing 

Another service offered by Gas Safe registered engineers is boiler servicing. Boiler servicing is recommended on an annual basis and means that a Gas Safe registered engineer conducts the appropriate checks and tests on your boiler to ensure it is in working order and running efficiently. It is worth mentioning that with newer boilers, receiving annual boiler servicing may mean that you qualify for the extended warranties/guarantees offered by the boiler manufacturer. Most boiler manufactures require that your boiler receives this on an annual basis to qualify for extended warranties/guarantees. Find out how we can help with boiler servicing here at Shoreline

Bleeding the Radiators 

Finally, Bleeding the radiators is the final boiler maintenance tip in our blog post and also another great way ensure your radiators are running efficiently. By doing this, your radiators may work as efficiently as you once remember them.
