How do I prevent my central heating from breaking down?

Most breakdowns occur at the end of summer, when central heating systems are switched on for the first time. Therefore, during the summer months, it’s advisable to run your central heating for about 10 minutes, once a month. This will keep the moving parts in order, and may prevent the heat pump becoming clogged.

It’s very important that you do not attempt to perform repairs or service to your central heating by yourself. In fact, if you do so, you may be breaking the law. When it comes to central heating repairs and emergencies, always consult an expert.
