With the arrival of the cold weather, it is essential to prepare the boiler in advance to transform any home into a warm, safe, and efficient refuge. The experts at Junkers Bosch have developed a protocol focused on five essential steps to ensure a comfortable winter.
The beginning of the winter season is not only measured by seasonal changes, but by the moment when, after months of inactivity, the thermostat is activated and the boiler starts working. This technical gesture marks the beginning of a season conducive to heartfelt moments, such as hot breakfasts and long family evenings.
Junkers Bosch emphasizes that preparing the boiler is not just a formality, but a ritual that must be done with care. The first step of the ritual is to activate the heating mode, as during the summer boilers are usually only kept to heat water. This will allow heat to once again fill every corner of the home.
Checking the system pressure is another crucial aspect; it should be balanced, ideally around 1.5 bar. If the pressure is low, it is necessary to fill the circuit, while if it exceeds this level, it should be adjusted to ensure efficient operation.
Ensuring that heat flows evenly is equally important. To do this, it is necessary to check that the radiators are free of air, which is achieved by opening the air vent until water flows uninterrupted.
Testing the thermostat is another recommended step. This device regulates the temperature of the home, and it is suggested to adjust the temperature a few degrees up to observe the start of the boiler and then lower it to check its stoppage. This test ensures that everything is in order before the low temperatures make their appearance.
Finally, providing extra care through a professional review is vital. An annual maintenance by the Official Technical Service not only ensures safety and efficiency, but also extends the life of the equipment. This maintenance may include cleaning and adjustments that optimize the boiler’s performance.
Winter invites us to stay at home and enjoy simple moments, such as family meals and game evenings. Therefore, preparing the boiler is essential for the physical comfort and emotional enjoyment of each home. Ensuring that heat is distributed evenly and that the boiler operates smoothly directly influences the quality of those special moments.
