Here are a few heat loss tips – so you know what to look for, and how to curb it:
1. An inefficiently performing oil- or gas boiler can be putting out less heat than it is supposed to. As such, it is likely to waste unnecessary energy, and cost you more than it should to run. The easiest way t fix this is by regular servicing – which all major manufacturers recommend on an annual basis.
2. Water circulation problems – in most cases, however, heat loss is merely a question of poor circulation. Even water that appears crystal clear to the naked eye does have a minute amount of sediment, and when heated up, more of the dissolved solids can also form a sediment (just like inside your kettle). The only way to fix this is by having a power flush done to get rid of all blockages in the system.
3. Water leakage – nothing lasts forever, and from time to time you may have a leak on the water distribution system. Keep an eye on your pressure gauge. Normally you will find it running between 1 and 2.5 bar (how much pressure you need varies on the design of the system) – but if it starts coming down, you either have a leakage problem, or refer to the next point:
4. Poor pump performance – water pumps don’t always work perfectly until they just break down someday. Sometimes they will start losing their efficiency as they grow older, and sometimes the accumulation of sediment simply slows them down, so they need a service or replacement – any one f our qualified plumbing engineers will be able to tell you which of the two it is.
All in all, most heat loss problems can be avoided by regular boiler- and pump servicing, and power flushing. In fact, power flushing will even reduce the possibilities of leakage, since it will normalise the pressure in the system again.
