That\u2019s right &#8211; sooner or later, it\u2019ll be time to fire up the central heating once more.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Central heating is a ubiquitous feature in modern houses, and many older homes have been retro-fitted. Anyone who has lived through a winter with central heating will know the massive difference it can make to your levels of comfort and relaxation during the colder months, alongside preventing such annoyances and hazards as <\/span><span style=\"color: #fe4e3b;\"><a style=\"color: #fe4e3b;\" href=\"http:\/\/hvpmag.co.uk\/news\/fullstory.php\/aid\/3692\/How_to_prevent_frozen_pi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">frozen or burst pipes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There would be little worse than rushing to switch on the central heating pumps on a chilly evening, having just got back from work, only to find that it\u2019s not working. Your pump has probably not been used over the previous few months, and for this reason we thoroughly recommend testing your heating pump now to avoid disappointment down the line. Follow this guide to make sure your central heating system is up to scratch.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>How to test your heating pumps<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>1.<\/strong> Start by checking that the settings on the pump are as they should be. <\/span><span style=\"color: #fe4e3b;\"><a style=\"font-size: 17px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.6471; color: #fe4e3b;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pumpsalesdirect.co.uk\/shop\/central-heating-pumps.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Modern heating pumps<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can have a variety of settings and features, such as variable flow speed and power consumption settings. Ensure that your system is setup correctly, and remedy the problem if it&#8217;s not.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.6471;\"><strong>2.<\/strong> Next, after making sure that the electricity supply to the pump is switched on, turn on your central heating. You should be able to hear your pump rotating. If you have a quiet pump, place the metal end of a plastic-handled screwdriver on the pump with your ear on the end of the handle. You should be able to hear the mechanism rotating.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.6471;\"><strong>3.<\/strong> At this point, your pump will either sound all right or won\u2019t appear to be rotating. In either case, switch off power to the pump and remove the pump bleed screw. Be prepared for a small amount of water leakage as you do this. Remove any debris that you find inside. If your pump wasn\u2019t turning before, gently try to turn the pump spindle with the screwdriver. If it\u2019s stiff, turn it several times to loosen it up. Return the pump bleed screw to its correct location.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.6471;\"><strong>4.<\/strong> If your pump still doesn\u2019t rotate when turned back on, check the fuse. A blown fuse may even have tripped the RCD. Reset the RCD and replace the fuse, if appropriate. If you still have no luck, turn off the electrical supply to the pump and try checking the electrical connections with a voltmeter. You may feel more comfortable calling in a professional at this stage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.6471;\"><strong>5.<\/strong> Another common problem with heat pumps can be poor circulation, with hot radiators downstairs but not upstairs. The pump may be old and unable to supply sufficient pressure. Try turning up the pressure to see if this helps. Bleeding the radiators, as well as the pump itself, is also a good idea in summer, as any problems uncovered can be rectified whilst the system isn\u2019t needed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following these tips should ensure that you\u2019ll be nice and toasty during the long, cold winter nights.
