Check your boiler pressure
When everything is running smoothly, your boiler pressure will be between 1 and 1.5 bar. It should not drop below this, so you will need to top it up when necessary, using the instructions from your manufacturer. If it often drops below, you may need to get your boiler repaired. Our team will be more than happy to come and take a look for you, so get in touch today if needed!
Bleed your radiators
If there are cold spots on your radiators, you may need to bleed them. Cold spots are caused by trapped air and bleeding them is the best way to remove this air. Having healthy radiators prevents your boiler from working harder than it has to in order to heat your home, which can hel0p it to last much longer.
Lag your pipes
