When winter arrives, your heating system becomes the most essential part of your home. But how can you make sure everything is working as it should before the frost really hits? At Forte Heating Services, our experienced heating engineers work with homeowners across Farnham, Surrey, and Hampshire to get their systems winter-ready.

Here’s our go-to winter checklist to keep your home safe, warm, and efficient.

 

1. Book Your Annual Boiler Service

An annual boiler service is the best way to ensure your system is safe and performing efficiently. Our Gas Safe registered heating engineers will carry out a full inspection, clean internal components, check for carbon monoxide risks, and identify any issues before they become costly repairs.

 

2. Bleed Radiators

Cold spots on your radiators? It might be time to bleed them. Trapped air prevents hot water from circulating properly. If you’re unsure how, our home heating service includes radiator checks to make sure your system heats evenly.

 

3. Check Boiler Pressure

Low boiler pressure can cause your heating to cut out, while high pressure might lead to system damage. Keep an eye on the pressure gauge and contact a heating engineer if you’re unsure how to adjust it.

 

4. Inspect Your Thermostat

Older thermostats can be inaccurate or inefficient. A smart thermostat could be an excellent upgrade for controlling your heating remotely and saving energy. We can advise on smart tech during your boiler safety check or service visit.

 

5. Look for Leaks or Unusual Noises

Leaks, clunking sounds, or whistling noises are warning signs that something’s wrong. Please don’t ignore them; get in touch with Forte’s expert heating engineers before it turns into an emergency.

 

6. Book a Landlord Boiler Check (If You Rent Out Property)

If you’re a landlord, a landlord boiler check is a legal requirement. Winter is the worst time for a boiler failure, so stay compliant and protect your tenants by booking early.
