Does my boiler need turning on during the summer?

During the summer months, many homeowners prefer to switch off their boilers to save money on their heating bills and energy. There is one disadvantage that comes along with this, and it is that leaving your boiler off for an extended period might do more damage than good.  

As a result, we suggest turning your boiler on and off every 10-15 minutes every couple of weeks to prevent your boiler from breaking down.

Why you should turn your boiler on in the summer

We recommend switching your boiler on in the summer to prevent your boiler and its components from breaking down. Even though it helps save energy when you turn it off, it is great to turn it on now and again to prevent your boiler from malfunctioning when you need it the most.

Summer Mode Function

Many contemporary boilers now have fantastic features such as season modes or temperature control modes, which have become increasingly popular over the years. This reduces waste by merely heating water a few times throughout the day rather than having to turn off your boiler entirely. 

This is ideal for those who rely on having their boiler to provide hot water. Many boiler manufacturers include this function, and if you want our experienced advice on which one is best for you and your household, contact us now by viewing our contact details down below.
