Heating cover for your back boiler

Summer is one of the most pleasant times of the year. They skies are clearer, the air feels fresher, and we sometimes discover a slight spring in our step. But don’t think you’re protected from back boiler damage during these glorious months.

It can’t be pleasant to be forced to take cold showers, not even in the summer time. The boiler is the one thing that we don’t think about all too often. Until it breaks down, of course. This is when the boiler suddenly becomes the most important item in the house. And that’s when we realise what an essential part of our lives it is.

Tenants do not worry about this too much. Their landlords take care of these inconveniences for them. But homeowners should take note. What would you do if your boiler goes the way of the dodo? Do you have funds to have it fixed or would you just play things by ear?

Boilers that are older than 10 years may need replacing with newer, more cost efficient models. This can reduce the amount of money you’ll spend on fuel over the next couple of years and it will also be a much safer model that conforms to all the newest criteria.

Getting heating cover will ensure that not only will you be spared that frightfully cold early morning shower, but you’ll also have a working boiler as soon as possible. This is something to think about because a UK heating system breaks down every 15 seconds, winter or summer.

Should you replace your back boiler if it breaks down?

Back boilers allow multiple hot water outlets at the same time. There’s no loss of pressure but the only problem is that these boilers take up a fair amount of space. These boilers’ traditional storage place is in a chimney breast. These boilers do save their owners money: they’re not too costly to replace. It would be far more expensive to replace the entire system with a different type of boiler.

Any type of boiler would be expensive to repair so ensure that you have either insurance or funds set aside for an emergency such as this.
