If your boiler starts making unusual noises, heat is reduced or if fuel use is rising these can signal a problem with your boiler? If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to get it checked out. Pro tip: Early intervention can save you time, money, and stress when the coldest days arrive.

💀 Heating hazards: Know the risks:
A SGN survey found that 1 in 10 over 50s don’t have a working carbon monoxide (CO) alarm installed. This is despite 94% being aware that CO poisoning could kill. Of those who did have a working alarm, 45% said it was over five years old. Test yours today.
