Guest Post: The Consequences of a Broken Boiler | Heating and Air ...

The boiler is the heart of the home; it generates the heat necessary for the home and its inhabitants to survive.? The consequences of this can legitimately be described in terms similar to one of the body?s most essential organs.? Boiler problems can have small consequences akin to heartburn.? A slight problem can mean an irritating noise when heating up, or the shower taking up to a minute to warm up, a small amount of pain but nothing serious.? However in different circumstances, a boiler problem can be disastrous, to the same fatal extent of a heart attack.

A poorly performing boiler can often prove simply irritating and will not motivate sufferers to take advantage of the latest combi boilers sale.? This can be taps that don?t heat up quickly or a home that is cold when you come home during the winter.? Perhaps the bills are quite high but no monthly bill on its own will equate to the cost of actually buying a new boiler.? Worse is when the boiler delivers a nasty shock of cold water every few minutes in the shower as it struggles to produce enough hot water.

Problems like these can escalate however to the extent where showering is unbearable, but during summer or in a warm country, the lack of central heating won?t be an issue.? While the boiler needs repaired it is not an emergency.? Hot water can be taken from the kettle if essential; showers can be taken in public places like gyms, at swimming pools or at a friend or relatives house.? The central heating is not necessary when it?s warm outside.

It is when these problems arise in the winter that these problems are more of an equivalent to a heart attack.? In a cold country like Britain no heating in the winter can be a disaster.? The elderly and anyone with chronic health problems can have these greatly amplified by the cold weather.? Viruses like the flu are in their element during the winter and these claim many elderly lives.

It is not only the inhabitants that suffer from the cold.? The home itself suffers.? Freezing conditions can lead to frozen pipes.? A lack of warmth in the house can lead to damp in the cavities of the walls.? Damp can lead to wood rot and further structural problems.? While this will all take several years of neglect which would be more likely in a case of house abandonment, a lack of heating can destroy your home.? However minor damage from short periods with a lack of heating can require costly repairs.

Worst of all, a malfunctioning boiler can cause near instant death.? Gas is dangerous and needs to be fitted properly.? If it malfunctions, CO2 poisoning can kill within the hour.? Unlike your heart, your boiler can however be replaced. ?Make sure you have an efficient and reliable boiler, and if not, there are plenty of great deals on modern gas boilers for sale which will cut your energy bills, and help keep the heart of your home healthy.
