It'll help avoid the risk of your pipes freezing in the cold weather
Scotland's latest bout of freezing weather has highlighted the importance of being prepared for snowfall, especially at home.
According to the heating experts at BOXT, performing a pressure check on your boiler can keep it in tip top shape, ensuring your house stays nice and toasty. It's important that the pressure levels remain balanced as a low reading will stop it from heating water. Andy Kerr, founder of BOXT, comments: "As the weather turns frosty, there is a chance the water in your boiler system could freeze if it’s not being used at all, causing a lot of damage to your heating system. It's generally advised to keep the thermostat set to a minimum of at least 10C even when you are away from home to avoid the risk of your pipes freezing."
