The first of the winter freeze is already upon us, with more to follow this winter. To avoid getting left in the cold this winter, follow these 5 heating tips to save on your energy bills, optimise your boiler, and prevent breakdowns.
Test Your Boiler
Commercial boilers left unused for long periods of time can lead to pumps and valves seizing up. Schedule a professional boiler service to keep your boiler running smoothly this winter- before you need it.
Keep Your Boiler Warm
As many individuals are concerned about the rising bills, some are choosing to leave their systems off for longer. Although this may seem like a good way to save money, you run the risk of your pipe freezing during the cold weather. Maintain a minimum temperature during the colder months to protect your gas boiler and pipework from winter damage.
Pay Attention to Cold Spots
If you notice any part of a room that has a radiator or heating unit not emitting the same level of heat as other sources, it could be a sign of air trapped in the system. Bleeding the radiators will help heat circulate more efficiently and remove any bubbles clogging the system. Regular boiler maintenance helps prevent these issues and keeps your system performing at its best.
Optimise Your Heating Schedules
Leaving your boiler on a constant low heat may seem economical, but it can lead to quicker wear and tear, especially for older models. Instead, use timers to heat your office during working hours and reduce energy waste.
Improve Heat Retention
Keep internal doors closed and draw blinds or curtains to reduce heat loss. This simple step helps your commercial heating system work more efficiently and lowers energy bills.
