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:

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:
1. The Annual Boiler Service: Your Proactive Defence
Think of a boiler service as a yearly MOT for your heating system. We’re not just checking if it turns on; we're conducting a thorough inspection to ensure it’s safe and running at peak efficiency. This includes:
* Inspecting for leaks and corrosion: We check all pipes, joints, and seals for any signs of wear and tear that could lead to a major leak down the line.
* Cleaning key components: Over the year, dust and debris can build up. We meticulously clean the burner, heat exchanger, and other vital parts to ensure optimal performance.
* Checking pressure and combustion: Using specialist equipment, we verify that your boiler's pressure is at the correct level and that the gas combustion is safe and efficient, preventing the risk of carbon monoxide leaks.
Getting this done in September means you’re ready for the colder months, reducing the chance of a costly and inconvenient breakdown when you need your heating the most.
2. Radiator Powerflushing: Clearing Out the Gunk
Have you ever noticed cold spots on your radiators, or that they take a long time to heat up? This is often a sign of sludge and rust building up inside your system. September is the perfect time for a powerflush. We use a powerful cleaning machine to flush out this debris, restoring your system's efficiency and ensuring every part of your radiator heats up evenly. A clear system works less hard, saving you money on your energy bills.
3. Smart Thermostat Installations: Bringing Your Home into the 21st Century
With energy prices a constant concern, more and more Swindon residents are looking to upgrade to smart thermostats like Nest or Hive. These clever devices allow you to control your heating from your phone, learn your habits, and save you money. September is a popular time for these installations as homeowners prepare to take control of their heating before the winter sets in.
4. Landlord Gas Safety Certificates (CP12): The Legal Requirement
For landlords in Swindon, September is a key month for ensuring properties are compliant with legal requirements. We conduct Landlord Gas Safety Checks (CP12s), which are mandatory for every rented property with a gas appliance. This detailed check ensures all gas appliances, including boilers, cookers, and fires, are safe for tenants.
5. Emergency Boiler Repairs and The First Wave of Breakdowns
Inevitably, as people start turning on their heating for the first time, some boilers that have been dormant all summer will fail. This leads to a spike in emergency calls. By getting your service done early, you avoid being one of these unlucky individuals, but rest assured, we're still on hand to help those who get caught out.
By getting ahead of the game and booking your heating services with a local, reliable company like MPS Heating of Swindon in September, you'll be set for a warm, comfortable, and worry-free winter. Don’t wait until the temperatures drop and the waiting lists grow--call us today to ensure your home is ready for the cold.
