As winter is fast approaching and the temperature is dropping, our Sales Manager Aline Newton offers her Winter Warnings and how to prepare your home for the winter months.
1 - Heating on Low
Ensuring that your pipes don't burst this winter is one of the most important factors, keeping your heating on low or insulating your pipes, should prevent them from freezing over.
2 - Boilers Serviced
By having your boiler serviced before winter you are reducing the risk of leaking carbon monoxide and you will also be saving money, as it will run much more efficiently.
3 - Salt Driveways
With snow on its way and the inevitable ice, it is a good idea to stock up on salt/de-icer. Keeping all paths and driveways to your home clear with de-icer will prevent any build up of ice and keep accidents at a minimum.
4 - Chimneys Swept
Prior to winter, having your chimney swept will clear out any debris that has built up over the summer months like creosote, nests or other flammable substances. A full chimney sweep will remove any hazards and increase your fires efficiency, ensuring your home is heated evenly throughout winter.
