Central heating repairs are most often caused by a dirty system or one that has an excessive amount of wear. Repairs range from relatively minor ones such as replacing belts to major ones that might include replacing the motor. Heating repairs aren't something you can put off, as a unit that's not functioning well will only get worse in time. As such, what started as a relatively minor repair could wind up being a major problem if you put it off, because other parts will have to work harder to compensate for the malfunctioning one.

Use a Certified Devon Repair Engineer

only use certified Devon heating engineers for repair work

As with other types of heating systems like boiler units, central heating units should only be repaired, serviced and maintained by engineers who are suitably qualified and experienced to do so. For instance gas fired boilers should only be fixed by Gas Safe registered professionals. Many home Devon owners also tend to ignore the first sings that repairs may be needed, thinking that the problems will go away on their own. However, this is the easiest way to be slapped with a horrendous repair, or replacement bill. As a result, you should ensure that you contact an engineer at the first signs of malfunction or failure on your central heating system.

Central Heating Repair Costs

Typical Devon central heating repair prices will depend on the type of repair that's needed and the make and model of your system. Most heating repair technicians are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but nonetheless charge more for calls made after hours. If your unit is especially difficult to access, contractors may need to charge more, simply because there is more labour involved in completing a repair job.

Preventing the Need for Repairs

Like any other major appliance in your home, repairs are inevitable. From time to time, things will simply stop working as they should, and you’ll need to call for service. However, there are a few things you can do to prevent some of the most commonly reported problems.

Schedule regular maintenance. You should have your central heating system inspected and cleaned at least once per year, and more often if you have a combi boiler that also provides hot water for your household. Often, the technicians can find very small issues that are easy enough to repair early on, but may pose serious problems down the line. Think of maintenance as an insurance policy, and you’ll surely save money throughout the life of your central heating system.
Understand your thermostat. Sometimes, people call for central heating repairs when the only problem was with a thermostat setting. This can result in money down the drain. When you install a new thermostat, or when you invest in central heating, take the time to learn about your thermostat, the various features and options, and how they all work.
Keep your system clean. Your boiler system is the most crucial component of your central heating, and it’s important to keep it clean if you want it to last. You can often schedule cleanings alongside your annual maintenance, and many companies offer discounts if you do both at the same time.

Repair or Replacement?

If Devon homeowners are diligent about having their heating systems repaired as soon as the units start to malfunction, it will normally be possible to avoid having a complete replacement performed. However, if unusual noises or malfunctions are ignored continually, chances are that by the time you get around to calling an engineer, it may be replacement that is required instead. It is recommended that a central heating technician be called out as soon as your unit starts to malfunction.
