Quick fix for your heating problem? You could be costing yourself more

When you have an old or faulty boiler, it can feel easier to put the problem off or have a go at fixing it yourself, but you could be doing more harm than good. To avoid costly bodged jobs, here are some common heating issues and how best to address them.

Not feeling the heat?

If your radiators take an age to warm up or are not giving out the same heat, it is tempting to turn the heating up a few notches. In fact you are likely wasting extra energy for little effect. A quick survey could find your radiators need bleeding, or that your boiler has become tired and inefficient. Our engineers can tell you exactly which part is not working and recommend a fix.

Cold and temperamental shower?

If your shower is losing power or getting cold and temperamental, a replacement shower head might give a quick boost, but the same issues come creeping back. Your shower depends on your heating system and the type of boiler you have. A combi boiler delivers hot water at mains pressure, giving a strong supply 24/7.

Boiler cutting out?

We all know the trick of switching something off and on until it reboots, but if your boiler is cutting out it is probably for a reason. Boilers accumulate dirt and dust that can be damaging. An annual service prevents this and spots issues before they arise.

Any quick fix is short-term at best and costs you more in the long run. The only way to fix a heating problem for certain is professional diagnosis and repair. If you would like a free survey, our team is happy to help.
