Happy Halloween to all our customers and followers! Winter is about to hit and now is the time to reduce the risk of suffering a real horror- a broken boiler! Take a read of this chilling blog post to find out which spooky signs may indicate that your boiler is on the blink!

Strange Noises

If your boiler starts making gurgling or banging sounds, it could be a sign of trapped air or sediment buildup—definitely a haunting noise you don’t want to hear!

Inconsistent Heating

Cold spots in your home can feel like the chill of a ghostly breeze. If your boiler isn’t heating your home well, there could be a number of reasons including low pressure, a faulty thermostat or even air locks in your radiators. 

Unusual Smells

A burning smell or a whiff of gas should never be ignored.  We're available for emergency call outs all year round, so if you detect an unsaintly scent, give us a call. We'll check for a gas leak, and if a problem is found, we can ensure your home remains safe until the necessary repairs have taken place.

Servicing your boiler before winter is essential and here are 3 key reasons why:

A well-maintained boiler reduces the risk of carbon monoxide leaks, ensuring your home remains a safe haven from any lurking dangers.
