How to check if your heating isn't working

If your heating isn’t working properly, please check:

  • If you have a prepayment meter, ensure you have credit
  • Try lighting the gas hob or using the gas fire if you have one. If these aren’t working, it may indicate a wider gas supply issue.
  • The boiler fused spur is turned on and your display or lights are illuminated.
  • The programmer illuminated and set to constant, on or override.
  • The boiler pressure gauge. Most boilers require the pressure to be between 1-2 bar to operate.
  • The room thermostat. Turn the room thermostat so the temperature is above the current room temperate.
