As the nights draw in and the mornings turn chillier now is the perfect time to make sure your heating is ready for the months ahead. A quick check now can save you from unpleasant surprises later – no one wants to discover their boiler has stopped working on the coldest day of the year.

Here are a few simple steps you can take: 

• Test your heating early. Switch it on for a short while to see if the radiators warm up properly. 

• If you have any problems with your heating or hot water, then let us know. You can find out how to contact our heating contractors in the Repairs and Building Safety section on our Contact Us page.  

• Look after your energy use. Setting timers and thermostats sensibly can help keep bills under control while keeping your home comfortable.

A little preparation now means peace of mind when the weather turns colder. Think of it as giving your home a winter health check.
