Support Steps
1. Regular Boiler Servicing
Regular servicing of your boiler is crucial to ensure it runs efficiently and safely. An annual service can prevent unexpected breakdowns and extend the lifespan of your boiler. During a service, a qualified engineer will check for any potential issues, clean components, and ensure everything is working as it should. Not only does this keep your heating system in good health, but it also helps in detecting any carbon monoxide leaks, which can be hazardous.
Why Choose CUBESER for Servicing? Our team at CUBESER offers comprehensive boiler servicing, ensuring that your system operates smoothly throughout the winter. Regular servicing can also help you save on energy bills by maintaining the efficiency of your boiler.
2. Bleed Your Radiators
If your radiators aren’t heating up properly or you notice cold spots, it might be time to bleed them. Air can become trapped in the radiators, causing uneven heating and reducing the efficiency of your heating system. Bleeding the radiators removes this trapped air, allowing hot water to circulate freely and heat your home more effectively.
How to Bleed a Radiator:
• Turn off your heating system and let the radiators cool.
• Use a radiator key to open the valve at the top of the radiator.
• Release the air until water starts to escape.
• Close the valve and wipe up any spilled water.
3. Check Your Thermostat Settings
Ensure your thermostat is set to an appropriate temperature. During the colder months, setting your thermostat to a comfortable level, typically between 18-21°C, can maintain a cosy home environment without overworking your boiler. Modern thermostats often have programmable settings that allow you to schedule heating periods, ensuring your home is warm when needed without wasting energy.
Upgrade to a Smart Thermostat: Consider upgrading to a smart thermostat for more precise control over your heating system. CUBESER offers installation services for a range of smart thermostats, helping you save on energy bills while keeping your home comfortable.
4. Insulate Your Home
Proper insulation can significantly improve the efficiency of your central heating system. Insulating your loft, walls, and even floors can reduce heat loss, meaning your boiler doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain a warm temperature. Simple measures such as draught-proofing windows and doors can also make a noticeable difference.
