How do I prepare my Saunier Duval boiler for winter?

Before winter, check the boiler pressure is between 1 and 1.5 bar and repressurise if needed. Bleed all radiators to remove trapped air. Test the heating by switching it on for a short period to ensure it fires up and heats the radiators evenly. Check that the condensate pipe (if external) is adequately insulated to prevent freezing. Most importantly, book your annual service before the cold weather arrives to ensure your boiler is in good working order.

How do I repressurise my Saunier Duval boiler?

Before approaching the boiler, ensure there is no smell of gas. Locate the filling loop underneath your boiler - this is typically a flexible silver hose with two taps or valves. Ensure the boiler is switched off and has cooled down. Open both filling loop taps slowly to allow water into the system. Watch the pressure gauge and fill until it shows between 1 and 1.5 bar. Close both taps securely once the correct pressure is reached.

What is the pre-heating or WARM START function on a Saunier Duval boiler?

The WARM START or pre-heating function reduces waiting time when you turn on a hot water tap. In ON mode, the boiler maintains the heat exchanger at the required temperature between 5am and 11pm for instant hot water. In AUTO mode, the boiler learns your household patterns and pre-heats just before your typical first use of the day. In OFF mode, this function is disabled and you may experience a short delay before hot water arrives.

What should I do if I smell gas near my Saunier Duval boiler?

If you smell gas, do not operate any electrical switches including boiler controls. Open doors and windows to ventilate the area. Turn off the gas supply at the meter if it is safe to do so. Leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency Service immediately from outside. Do not return until a Gas Safe registered engineer has confirmed it is safe.
