Is Your Heating System Showing Its Age? Recognising the Need for Pipework Upgrades

Many homes in Chester-le-Street and the wider Durham area have central heating systems that have been in place for decades. Over time, pipework can corrode internally, leading to a build-up of sludge and rust (commonly known as magnetite). This restricts water flow, reduces heating efficiency, and can even damage your boiler. Common signs that your pipework may need upgrading include:

  • Radiators that are cold at the bottom but warm at the top.
  • Noisy radiators or a banging sound from your pipes.
  • Your boiler constantly working harder to heat your home.
  • Recurring leaks or drips from pipe joints.
  • Higher than usual energy bills.
    If you're experiencing any of these issues, it's time to call in the experts at Preferred Gas for a thorough assessment.
