We all know we should be brushing our teeth every day. Right?!
We all know we should go to the dentists for a check up once a year. Right?!
We all know we should be flossing. We should be chewing gum and using mouth wash regularly!
Okay
Now…We should all know that we need to have our boiler serviced once a year too.
We need to make sure there are no leaks on the system and that all pipework is in good condition.
We should also ensure we replace old corroded radiators, ensure our heating system is flushed of all sludge and debris, make sure all valves (including stop taps) will actually turn the water off in an Emergency.
We should make sure chemical inhibitor and anti freeze has been topped up sufficiently.
BUT….Do we do these things? Do we have an annual budget set aside for maintenance do we have an ongoing relationship with a professional heating company and a plan?
Well that is of course up to you. But… You should also know that if you don’t do these things then one day, sooner than you’d hope, your heating and hot water system will break down on you and your family and unfortunately your teeth will fall out too! -DW
