About this skill
Pre-season Heating Diagnostics
The practical issue is not whether to inspect heating, but which inspection path applies. Central heating depends on water trial attendance, property management, and complaint workflow; boilers require pressure, gas supply, condensate line, and flue checks; underfloor heating needs loop-by-loop venting and manifold checks. Copying a generic checklist can miss critical actions or treat gas work and pipe modification as DIY tasks.
Workflow and Output
The skill first confirms heating type, terminal type, past issues, and city timeline, then produces an actionable checklist. Key coverage includes:
- Central heating: water trial attendance, entry valve inspection, leak reporting, and evidence-based complaint steps when room temperature is below target.
- Boilers: pressure refilling, ignition test, error-code lookup, slow-leak diagnosis, and when to contact service.
- Underfloor heating: manifold venting, loop-by-loop troubleshooting, flushing guidance every 2–3 years, and limits for manifold leaks.
It also provides radiator and underfloor venting steps, leak response order, and layered troubleshooting for one radiator, underfloor loop, or whole-home heat loss. For gas leaks, pipe welding, boiler disassembly, underfloor installation, or radiator replacement, it directs the user to qualified professionals.
Use Cases
- A northern resident needs to schedule radiator venting, entry valve checks, and leak observation after the property office issues a water trial notice.
- A boiler owner needs to restart winter mode by checking pressure, gas supply, condensate line, flue, and interpreting error codes.
- An underfloor heating user finds one loop not warm and needs to vent loops, inspect the manifold, and decide whether to call a flushing service.
- A resident below 18°C needs to record temperature evidence, contact property and heating hotlines, and prepare a 12345 complaint.
Best For
- Central heating residents who need to know which trial-water tasks require someone home and which can be delegated to property or neighbors.
- Boiler owners who need safe restart guidance and clear limits for pressure, refilling, and error-code handling.
- Underfloor heating users who need to distinguish DIY venting from professional flushing or manifold repair.
- Residents in older buildings who need a clear path for temperature evidence, property reporting, hotline calls, and 12345 complaints.
