When did you last switch your heating on?
If you haven't already, it's worth turning your heating on for a short test run before autumn and the colder weather arrives. Check that your boiler starts properly, your radiators heat up and there are no unusual noises, smells or warning lights.
Finding an issue now gives you more time to have it checked before you really need your heating. It is also a good opportunity to check your heating oil level and make sure you have enough in the tank for the months ahead.
