As the nights get colder and the days shorter, now is the time to ensure your home’s heating system is ready for the months ahead. At Forte Heating Services, we provide professional home heating services across Farnham, Surrey, and Hampshire, helping homeowners stay warm, efficient, and prepared for winter.
Here are our top home heating tips to get you autumn-ready:
1. Book a Professional Boiler Service
Your boiler is at the heart of your heating system, and autumn is the ideal time for an annual boiler service. A check-up by a qualified heating engineer ensures your system is safe, efficient, and less likely to break down when temperatures drop. Our team at Forte Heating Services is Gas Safe registered and ready to help.
2. Bleed Your Radiators
If your radiators are cold at the top but warm at the bottom, trapped air may be preventing them from heating efficiently. Bleeding them can improve heat output and reduce energy consumption. If you’re unsure how to do this safely, we can advise or assist during a scheduled visit.
3. Check Your Thermostat Settings
Make sure your thermostat is set to a comfortable but energy-efficient temperature, typically around 18–20°C. If you’re still using a manual thermostat, consider upgrading to a smart version. It gives you better control and can help you reduce your heating bills.
4. Insulate Your Property
Heat loss through poorly insulated walls, roofs, or windows can significantly affect your heating efficiency. Check for drafts, seal gaps, and consider adding insulation where needed. Even small changes can make a noticeable difference in your energy use.
5. Schedule a Landlord Boiler Check (If Applicable)
If you’re a landlord in Surrey or Hampshire, you’re legally required to complete a landlord boiler check every year. Autumn is the perfect time to meet this obligation and avoid last-minute winter issues.
6. Consider a Boiler Upgrade
If your boiler is over 10 years old or struggling to perform, it may be time to think about a new boiler installation. Modern boilers are more energy-efficient, quieter, and cheaper to run. We can assess your system and recommend the best option for your home.
