There are a few initial checks to perform and actions to take if your boiler breaks down in winter.
Firstly, check the electricity supply in your home and at neighbours’ addresses. If a power cut has ensued, the boiler could have been affected as a result and will begin to work again when the power supply is restored. You should also check your heating pipework, and if necessary, follow the steps in our guide on how to sort out frozen pipes.
Meanwhile, you should look to retain as much heat as possible via the use of draught excluders, the closing of curtains and doors, and generally sealing off any draughts. If all else fails and a bigger boiler issue is at play, get in touch with a local plumber or heating professional that can provide an emergency boiler repair service as quickly as possible.
