Turning off boilers in the summer: should you do it?

Things to consider:

Whether your turn your boiler off in the summer or not depends entirely on what you normally use your boiler for throughout the colder months. It may be a good way to save on your bills, but is it worth it practically?

According to this article from boilerguide, there are a few things to consider:

– If your shower is electric, you won’t need your boiler for hot water.

This means that they generate their own hot water.

– Make sure you get your boiler serviced regularly, especially if you plan to turn it off.
