Here is your March guide to keeping your home efficient and your bills dropping as the temperature (hopefully) rises. Here at MPS Heating, your trusted Swindon plumbing and heating experts, we believe in keeping our community warm, informed, and efficient! The world of home comfort is always evolving, with new technologies and best practices emerging to make your life easier and your bills lower. Let's dive into some of the latest news that could impact your Swindon home.
As the festive season twinkles into view and the temperatures truly drop, there's nothing more important than a warm, comfortable home.

An October Guide to Keeping Your Home Warm: When to DIY and When to Call a Heating Engineer9/28/2025 With the colder weather upon us, October is a month when your boiler and central heating system really get a workout. To help you stay warm and safe, here’s a guide from MPS Heating on common heating issues, what you can fix yourself, and when it’s essential to call in a professional.
Common November Heating Problems (and Simple DIY Fixes) Before you panic and call for help, check if the issue is something you can solve quickly. Here are some of the most frequent problems we see as the temperature drops, but remember if you have any questions, MPS are here to help... As the long days of summer begin to shorten and a distinct chill enters the Swindon air, many of us start to think about turning on the heating for the first time. But for heating engineers like us at MPS Heating, September isn't the start of the quiet season—it's the calm before the storm. It’s a crucial, busy time dedicated to preparing homes for the winter rush.
While most people wait for that first frosty morning to discover their boiler isn't working, we're already hard at work helping proactive homeowners avoid a winter breakdown. This is why September is one of the busiest and most important months of the year for us, and why you should get in touch now. Here’s a unique look at why our September is so packed and the many essential tasks we're completing for our valued Swindon customers: August in Swindon: Beyond the Sun Cream – Why Your Heating System Needs a Summer Check-Up!
August in Swindon usually means BBQ's, park visits, and hopefully, a bit of sunshine! It's the furthest thing from our minds to be thinking about chilly evenings or cranking up the thermostat. But here at MPS Heating, with over 25 years of keeping Swindon homes warm and cosy, we know that August is actually one of the smartest times to give your heating system some much-needed attention. Why, you ask? Because a little bit of proactive care now can save you a whole lot of stress (and money!) when autumn inevitably rolls around. Welcome back to the MPS Heating blog, your local Boiler and heating experts for keeping your Swindon home warm and efficient. This month, we're venturing beyond the simple thermostat to explore a smarter way to manage your home's heating: heating zones and smart controls.
For years, many of us have relied on a single thermostat to dictate the temperature for our entire house. But think about it – does every room in your Swindon home need to be the same temperature all the time? Probably not. This is where the power of heating zones and intelligent controls comes in, offering a more comfortable and cost-effective way to heat your property. After the success in our last day in the life blog, we have been asked numerous times if that is really what it is like. And Yes, it is.
This month we have recorded what we did on another day last month. Letting you know just how hectic our normal day can be. And when it comes to the warmth that makes a house a home, that reliability rests squarely on the shoulders of MPS Heating. Forget the generic boiler blogs; let's talk about the real, human story of keeping Swindon snug. Winter is now here in Swindon, and with it, the inevitable rise in energy bills. While we can't control the weather, we can control how efficiently we heat our homes. As experienced heating engineers, we have seen firsthand how small changes can lead to big savings. So, to try and help you save that hard earned money, here are some tips to help you keep warm and cozy without breaking the bank:
