Central Heating

The majority of households in the UK have gas central heating.

In this modern world we tend to take central heating for granted, so when it goes wrong, it is very unpleasant. Central Heating breakdowns can prove to be very disruptive, imagine getting up for work early in the morning on a cold winter’s day, no hot water, no heating, cold showers.

Although it can seem a major nightmare when your central heating does not work, you should not despair as sometimes there is actually nothing physically wrong with your central heating . Stay calm and follow some logical steps as below to check whether it is actually is broken.

Check that our room thermostat has not been set too low, if it hasn’t clicked on, it will not demand heat from your central heating boiler.

Check that you have your time clock set correctly, have you got the 24hr clock right as you may have it sent for 3 o’clock in the morning and not 3 o’clock in the afternoon! Make sure you are at an on period so that the clock is telling your central heating to come on.

The most obvious thing to check within your heating system is your boiler. Is there a mains light on, are there any unusual flashing lights or codes requiring you to press the reset button, or has someone actually knocked the switch to off when cleaning?

Also bear in mind that during the summer months many central heating systems do not get operated and motorised valves etc can become stuck leading to failure as soon as the first cold snap hits. You can help to avoid this during the summer months by turning up your room thermostat or controls and firing up your heating once a month and running your central heating for 10 minutes.
