For most people the central heating only goes on when it’s absolutely necessary and we often take it for granted that it’ll work its magic and spread warmth throughout the house. But did you know that your central heating system works (like most other appliances) in that it needs regular tender loving care in order to perform at its optimum?

Warning signs that your system may need a power flush are: 
• your boiler is noisy 
• your radiators bang 
• your heating is slow to heat up or 
• you have cold spots in your radiators

To entitle our blog, ‘The best plumbers in Essex’, may be a bold move – but we certainly think it’s true! Let us explain why.

The team at Arco Heating Ltd have expert central heating engineers and plumbers available to customers across Essex and has been an established business since 1971. We are based in Collier Row, which means that getting to areas via the A12, A127 and M25 are no problem. When you call – we answer and we’re always happy to visit your property at a time that is convenient to you.

We offer a wide variety of professional plumbing services in Essex, to all types of clients. Are you a commercial property developer that requires central heating engineers or plumbers on your building project? Our contract work experience includes being hired by developers that have built one house to developers that have built dozens of new build properties on acres of land.

Recently, our plumbers Chelmsford worked on a bathroom installation as part of an ensuite loft conversion. The shape and angle of the room was not a traditional size, but we were able to work out how to get the plumbing travelling in the right direction. All with minimal disruption to the integrity of the structure.

Our plumbers Colchester worked on a kitchen for a family in Highwoods last month and were faced with a complex plumbing set up for a kitchen. The owners were keen to have the kitchen structured in a way that suited them and their ideas were far from straight forward. Challenges like this are something we enjoy, so get in touch if you want something out of the ordinary.

Are you a homeowner that would like some advice on their hot water tank? Do you live in the Hornchurch area? Our plumbers Hornchurch can help! Our thorough plumbing knowledge means that most issues presented to us are ones that we’ve come across before – so nothing surprises us. 

Renowned for our experience across Dagenham, our residential and commercial customers are always satisfied with our work. Severe blockages, tornado like leaks and freezing cold boilers,  haven’t got a chance when our plumbers Dagenham are involved.

Power flushing is a method used to remove corrosion, sludge and other debris in a central heating system. This can build up over time and negatively affect your central heating system. Avoid putting your boiler under pressure by getting in touch with our plumbers Harold Wood today and booking in an appointment.

How to take care of your boiler in the winter

14/10/2019

There’s nothing worse than waking up on a cold winter’s morning to find that the heating is off, there is no hot water and your boiler has broken down. Jumping into a freezing shower and having a cold home is the last thing you need – especially in the winter months!
 
Many boiler failures happen in the winter. It's essential, therefore, that you take care of your boiler all year round. This will help avoid boiler break down experiences. Here are our tips to help your home stay cosy and keep your boiler in working order.
 
Fix issues quickly
If you want your boiler working all year round it is important that any issues you find are dealt with promptly by a qualified plumber. This will ensure that your central heating runs properly and your boiler is safe.
 
Bleed your radiators
Making sure that your radiators are bled regularly is an easy way to keep your home warm and save you money. If your radiators have trapped air inside, they will not warm up properly and your boiler will have to work a lot harder, increasing wear and wasting energy. We recommend regularly checking your radiators and bleeding them when necessary.

Read our blog to find out how to bleed your radiators

Boiler pressure checks
Along with bleeding your radiators, it is important to check the boiler pressure. This is something that you can carry out yourself. All boilers lose pressure over time, which means that they will work less efficiently and require a top up. As boilers are different, check the manufacturers manual to find out how to carry this out. Alternatively, you can seek advice from a plumber if you are unsure.

​
Book an annual boiler service
The best way to ensure your boiler is running efficiently at all times, is to arrange an annual boiler service by a qualified professional. Central heating engineers will do the necessary checks and maintenance that your boiler require; giving you peace of mind that your boiler is safe and working correctly.

The annual service is also cost-effective and could save you money in the long-term by preventing possible problems from occurring. For households with new boilers, it is important to keep up your annual checks to ensure that your warranty for parts remains valid.

Let your boiler ‘breathe’
All boilers need to be well ventilated to ensure they work correctly and safely. Keep the clutter at bay to allow for adequate ventilation.
 
Power flushing
Although this is usually done when fitting a new boiler, power flushing is a service that can be carried out at any time when required. Over time, your radiators may begin to clog up with sludge, rust and solidified minerals caused by hard water, which may cause your boiler to become increasingly noisy.

Power flushing is a deep cleanse for your entire central heating system, making it run more efficiently by removing blockages. We recommend you do not carry this out yourself and seek advice from a reputable plumber.


Call Arco for a Power Flushing Service
 
Keep the heating on in the summer
It may not seem to make sense to run your central heating when the weather is warm, however, turning your heating on for 10 minutes every week during the summer months will prevent your boiler from seizing up. If your boiler is doing nothing for months at a time, it can deteriorate and you may find that it doesn’t want to work when you switch it back on.
