With the worst of the cold weather about to arrive, boilers will be working their hardest to keep your home warm. If you’ve been avoiding a boiler service and relying on a creaky boiler you must get it checked. Old boilers cost hundreds more a year to keep your home warm and far worse, can be prone to carbon monoxide leaks which can be lethal. Be one of the lucky 20 who benefit from our Valentines boiler offer to save money, get warm and rest easy.
Signs your boiler needs servicing/replacing
It’s fairly easy to detect when a boiler isn’t operating correctly. Some of the most common signs are:
- Leaking and dripping
- Lack of hot water and heating
- Whistling and banging noises
- Switching itself off
It’s important that you never attempt to fix a boiler yourself. Attempting to fix a broken boiler is extremely dangerous and so you should always use a Gas Safe registered engineer.
At Affleck we advise the best defence against carbon monoxide emissions as well as to keep your boiler running efficiently (saving you money) is to make sure that it is serviced annually.
In short don’t wait for your old boiler to ‘die’. Old boilers cost hundreds more a year to keep your home warm and can be highly dangerous.
The Killer in the Cupboard: Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is also known as the ‘silent killer’ due to it being colourless, tasteless and odourless. The NHS report that approximately 50 people die each year from carbon monoxide poisoning and an additional 200 people are treated for serious injuries relating to CO poisioning. The most likely cause of these cases are old or poorly fitted boilers.
Protect Yourself: Sniffing out Carbon Monoxide
The best way to detect a possible leak is to fit a carbon monoxide alarm that operates much like a smoke alarm. Carbon Monoxide alarms can be bought online for around £14.99, and are also sold in hardware stores.
Carbon Monoxide patches are available for £5 but won’t sound an alarm in the event of a serious leak, so we don’t recommend them that highly. However they do act as a visual alert which is preferable to no alert at all.
