Spring Maintenance: Why Now is the Perfect Time to Check Your Heating and Plumbing

Published on 22 May 2025 at 14:33

As the days get longer and the temperatures rise, it’s tempting to forget all about your heating system and plumbing. But spring is actually the best time of year to give them the attention they need—before small issues become big problems.

At HPMK, we recommend a seasonal check-up to keep your home safe, efficient, and ready for whatever the Scottish weather brings next.

🌷 Why Schedule Maintenance in Spring?

1. Prevent Issues Before Winter Returns

Spring gives you time to detect and fix issues long before you're relying on your boiler to keep warm again. If you wait until autumn, you may face longer waits and higher demand for repairs.

2. Lower Risk of Summer Surprises

While boilers might rest during summer, plumbing systems are still active. Leaks, limescale build-up, or pressure issues can worsen silently. A quick spring inspection can save you a costly summer emergency call.

3. Better Availability

Spring is a quieter time for heating engineers, meaning faster appointments and more flexible scheduling. Take advantage before peak season hits!

4. Boost Efficiency & Cut Bills

A serviced boiler and clean pipework help your system run more efficiently—saving you money on hot water and heating costs year-round.

 

πŸ”§ What Should You Check in Spring?

βœ”οΈ Boiler Inspection – Check pressure, leaks, strange noises, and service history.
βœ”οΈ Radiator Bleed & Balance – Make sure all your radiators heat evenly.
βœ”οΈ Pipework Check – Look for signs of wear, corrosion, or hidden leaks.
βœ”οΈ Hot Water Cylinder Service – Flush out debris and check thermostat settings.
βœ”οΈ Outdoor Taps & Hoses – Inspect for cracks or frost damage from winter.
