Baxi Homeowner  “Get Ready For Winter Advice” 🌨️

Winter is the harshest season, and you probably spend many of your winter days with the heating cranked up. Waking up to find a cosy home that is suddenly ice-cold will ruin anyone’s day. Make sure it doesn’t happen to you by paying good care and attention to your boiler.

Insulating Your Heating Pipes At Home

A cold snap can wreak havoc on your pipes, especially if they’re old. The best way to make sure is to look after the pipes that connect to your boiler. Look into insulating your pipes to protect them from the cold. Especially the pipes outside your home. These are exposed to the elements and are prone to freezing. One of the best tips to make sure your boiler is ready for winter is to take steps to stop your pipes from freezing.

Insulating exposed pipes with lagging will go a long way to stop this from happening. A frozen condensate pipe can damage a boiler and even break it, so insulating it from the cold weather would be a very savvy decision.

Bleeding Your Radiators At Home

No matter how perfectly sealed your central heating system is, over time, air will get inside and start making a nuisance of itself. This might result in cold areas of your radiator (usually the top). If you have, then it is time to bleed your radiator.

How To Prevent A Boiler Condensate Pipe From Freezing

As a temporary measure, it may help to turn the boiler thermostat (not the room thermostat) to maximum and run the boiler in ‘continuous’ mode, turning the room thermostat to 15°C at night. Turn back to the normal settings once the cold spell is over.

 In the longer term, in order to prevent the pipe from freezing, you can ask your Gas Safe-registered installer to move the pipe so that it runs internally. Or, you could ask them to fit a wider pipe, lag it to reduce the risk of freezing, install a trace heater along the pipe, which warms it slightly when temperatures drop to freezing, or a combination of all of these.

If you have a condensing boiler (a boiler that captures hot gases and uses them to create more heat), the wastewater vapour from the condensing process flows out of your home slowly (approximately two litres an hour). This slow trickle makes them prone to freezing in sub-zero temperatures.
