Is Your Hot Water System Ready for Winter?

❄️ Don’t wait for the first frost to find out your boiler isn’t working

Every winter, thousands of homeowners are caught off guard when their hot water or heating fails. The good news? Most breakdowns can be prevented with a few checks and the right preparation.

1️⃣ Check Your Boiler’s Age and Efficiency

If your system is 10+ years old, it’s likely running inefficiently — costing you more in bills and increasing the risk of breakdown.

👉 A modern A-rated boiler can save you up to £580/year on heating costs.

2️⃣ Look for Warning Signs

Strange noises, fluctuating water pressure, or slow-to-heat radiators? These are early signs your system needs attention before it’s too late.

Annual servicing is the simplest way to avoid costly winter repairs. It ensures:

  • Gas safety checks

  • Pressure and flow testing

  • Clean filters and components
