ALARMING NEW GAS SAFETY WEEK SURVEY FINDINGS REVEAL CASUAL ATTITUDE TO HEATING MAINTENANCE IS PUTTING FAMILIES AT RISK
UK’s householders failing to make rudimentary checks on heating systems may result in critical dangers in upcoming winter months
[London, UK] – Worcester Bosch, the leading boiler manufacturer in the UK, today reveals how a lack of regular boiler maintenance and servicing by much of the nation will put families at risk this winter. The alarming survey reveals that half of the nation has never asked for the service history of a boiler upon moving into a new house, with 18 per cent believing that servicing is unnecessary until a boiler breaks down leaving a home without heating or hot water.
“As we approach the beginning of the colder months and the most common time for boilers to break down, the lack of understanding in boiler maintenance concerns us”, says Martyn Bridges, Director of Technical Communication and Product Management at Worcester Bosch.
