Your heating is an invaluable asset within the home, especially during the colder months of the year, so why go without? You may not even be aware of your heating system functioning at a declining rate, but this can result in thousands of pounds wasted over the course of a year period. Telltale signs of a malfunctioning central heating or radiator system include unfamiliar strange noises, inconsistencies in regular energy bills and unexplained damp patches where your pipework connects – simply read on for just some of the most frequent heating issues in 2023, outlined by your local experts at Mitchell’s.
Clogged Filters
Clogged filters are one of the most irritating issues linked to a heating system, and not only will this problem affect the quality of your heating, it often comes alongside disruptive sounds – which admittedly can be used to identify the source of the dilemma. Air filters can quickly become overwhelmed by dirt and debris which has been accidentally sucked into the parts, ands as a result of the filters becoming clogged, strange clanging noises and odd sounds aren’t a rarity. Your air handler must work harder to compensate for the blockage of air flow when this occurs, incurring higher energy usage.
Leaks
Leaks often happen as a result of pipework which has been incorrectly installed, or the decline of existing pipework – causing cracks and holes to form. A heating system functions by transporting hot water around a network of pipes directly from the boiler, and these pipes are located within the walls of your property. A leak will likely be noticeable straight away, though it may start initially with a damp patch or warped section of wallpaper and develop from there. At Mitchell’s, we’re well-equipped to rectify such problems, so don’t hesitate to get in touch!
An Outdated System
We’re currently in the age of smart metres, systems which can be monitored via apps and boilers which are able to seamlessly save you energy by only functioning at optimum times. With these techy options available for anyone willing to invest in them, systems from years ago are very much outdated. Lacking the features of a modern system, you may be simply dealing with a boiler or radiator network which is struggling to keep up with the demands of a modern household.
