Good news! Your boiler made it through the season’s first frost. Bad news? This may not mean you’re safe from a boiler breakdown this winter. Our expert team put together five handy questions to help you assess the health of your heating system. Just 5 minutes could be the difference between a smooth winter and the inconvenience of a system failure.

Take a look:

How old is your boiler?
Once your system hits about 20 years old it’s time to make sure you won’t be facing unexpected downtime.

Have heating bills been abnormally high?
If your boiler hasn’t been maintained, or at least inspected, the lack of efficiency will lead to astronomical heating bills.

Do you hear rumbling or banging noises?
After years of sediment build-up, loud noises mean your boiler is operating inefficiently, or worse – nearing the end of its life.

Have you noticed any leaks or moisture?
Moisture near your boiler is a sign that there’s a small leak or fracture, and that it’s definitely in need of repair.

Can you remember the last time an expert looked at your system?
