103 35
It is important to keep your hot water boiler in good working condition to avoid any leaks or dangerous temperature levels.
You should have your boiler serviced annually by a qualified professional to ensure that everything is in correct working order.
If there are problems in between these yearly serviced you should have a plumber or boiler specialist come out to look at the boiler and fix any problems.
In order for the hot water that comes out of your taps to be at a temperature which our skin can handle, you need to set your boiler's temperature gauge to an amiable temperature.
If this setting becomes faulty you could be at risk of serious injury from burns as there is no other limitation to how hot tap water can actually get.
Children and adults alike have experienced burns serious enough to warrant hospital attention and many have been scarred for life from hot water burns.
Boiler servicing can prevent any burns occurring because of faulty temperature setting, and a professional will also be able to advise you on the best temperature to set your gage to for your different requirements, like washing up, having a shower or taking a bath.
They can also help you with the right temperature to expose your baby or child to when they are washing.
Regular services will also prevent any leaks that could cause some major damage to your home.
If the boiler were to leak, you would need to replace carpet, re-do wall paper or paint and there may even be structural damage to the ceiling below the boiler tank.
Try not to position any beds or chairs directly under your boiler because of a leak does occur, extremely hot water may pour down, again leading to life threatening burns and injuries.
Regular boiler servicing is all you can do to try and prevent any breakages or injury as a result of your boiler.
If your boiler is faulty, making loud noises or produces extreme changes in temperature, you should have it serviced and the problems fixed.
Do not neglect your boiler because repairs might be costly, a skin graft is much more work than having your temperature gauge checked.
