3 Signs You Should Think Seriously About Replacing Your Boiler
by Liz Seyi Digital marketing managerRight
now, with lockdown looking unlikely to be loosened soon, you are probably
relying on your home’s central heating system more heavily than ever before.
However, too often, it’s hard to notice that there’s a problem with a boiler
until it stops working altogether – and plunges the household into chilly
temperatures. If you’re working from home right now, or even if you aren’t,
that’s a situation you could seriously do without.
So, what
are the warning signs of a malfunctioning boiler?
Your
radiators take their time heating up
If your radiators feel cold to the touch even long after you
turned up the thermostat, this situation may be an indicator of the condition
of your boiler... but not necessarily always.
The problem might simply be that sludge has accumulated in your central heating
system. In this instance, a powerflushing treatment – available from members of
our team including Tadworth, Wimbledon and Richmond plumbers –
could remedy matters.
Your energy bills are suspiciously high
Of course, if you’re working from home, your household’s energy
costs could understandably be noticeably higher than they were pre-lockdown.
However, if those costs are rising even when there haven’t been any obvious
changes on your part recently, the boiler could be to blame.
As a boiler ages, it can become less efficient – regardless of the efficiency
rating the manufacturer originally assigned it. If you live in Greater London
or South East England, you could arrange for us to fit an all-new, modern boiler capable
of delivering you significant financial savings.
Your boiler often makes strange noises when running
The noise emitted by your boiler should be limited to a low,
constant and in many instances, barely audible hum when the heating appliance
is firing up. You should be concerned if you regularly hear banging, clunking
or whirring sounds from the boiler when you aren’t even near it.
Often, such disconcerting sounds can be evidence of something mechanically
wrong with the boiler, such as a broken valve or heat pump. On the other hand,
simple wear and tear could be responsible. In situations like these, the boiler
might need either repairing or replacing.
At your home in Greater London or the South East, we can closely inspect the
boiler to determine what repair or replacement work might be needed – and then,
but only with your approval, provide it.
If you worry about the state of your boiler, don’t worry in silence; call our
