One of the best ways to keep your boiler system running efficiently is to maintain it. Unfortunately, a boiler isn’t something like a car or a computer. Maintaining one requires professional experience and knowledge–it certainly shouldn’t be handled by the average DIY enthusiast. But what can you do to ensure that your system is running efficiently?

Schedule appointments with your gas engineer

It’s important to check your gas boiler at least once a year. This will tell you more about its efficiency, how it’s performing, and if there have been changes from the last time they checked. You can even perform a checkup every half year if you’re concerned about the condition of your home.

Keep an eye on the boiler pressure

Most modern boilers come with pressure gauges. This helps to ensure that the pressure is within the recommended range, resulting in better efficiency. Keeping your boiler in this range usually involves some light DIY work, but it’s often better to just contact an engineer to help you if you’re not confident.

Clean the area around your boiler

The boiler area should be free of any dirt or debris. This keeps your boiler room well-ventilated and ensures that there are no contaminants blocking the vents. You might also want to regularly inspect boiler components and clean them if they are noticeably dirtier than yours.
