There are several problems that you may encounter with a central heating system and it is not always easy to diagnose the cause of the fault.
In some cases it will be necessary to enlist the services of a professional plumber or heating engineer, but many of the problems can be dealt with simply by adjusting the settings, or for the more confident, by embarking on a little bit of DIY.
Central heating is one of the most energy efficient and cost-effective forms of heating available in the UK today. However, over time any central heating system can become blocked with sludge, rust, and debris, which will make it much less efficient.
If the central heating struggles to fully heat the house, or fuel bills become excessive, it may be necessary to flush the heating system and clear any blockages to make sure it is operating effectively. Equally, if you are having a new boiler fitted, it is usually recommended to have the heating system flushed in advance.
