Christmas isn’t usually a time to worry about plumbing and heating issues. However, there are a few little things that you can do to ensure that your heating system is well maintained while you celebrate with your family. As the cold weather starts to get even colder, external pipes can start to freeze and radiators start to fail. Central heating boilers are also vulnerable to breakdowns with the sudden change in temperature and frequent use. This article will give you a couple of optional ideas that you can introduce into your home to prevent any major plumbing or heating related issues. 1.Check Pipes Daily Make sure that any external pipework is checked on a daily basis, especially after excessively cold nights. The pipework is vulnerable to freezing and will need to be thawed out carefully to avoid central heating breakdowns and ongoing issues. 2.Make Sure Radiators are Working When the central heating has been switched on, allow it time to really kick into life and gather some heat. Once ready, check the radiator to make sure that all of it is heating up as it should. Colder weather can lead to small particles and debris freezing within the system and create blockages, preventing the radiator from heating correctly. If you do have an issue with your radiators, they may be hot in patches instead of all over. RA Heating and Plumbing are local plumbing and heating contractors based in the south east of the UK.
