BS7593: 2019. What it means for homeowners.
Cleaning, protection and maintenance.
BS 7593:2019 now contains significant changes to the cleaning, protection and maintenance of heating and cooling systems.
This will undoubtedly have a knock-on effect to how homeowners and heating engineers approach water treatment practices.

🤝 Your Boiler's Best Friend: The BS 7593:2019 Partnership
Expensive repairs and high energy bills are often caused by sludge and corrosion—problems that were easy to ignore. The new UK standard, BS 7593:2019, changes that by turning your heating engineer into a long-term water treatment partner.
This is no longer a one-time fix; it's a mandatory plan for cleaning, protection, and maintenance that requires you, the homeowner, and your engineer to collaborate in order to keep your system running at peak efficiency.

Why This Partnership Pays Off
When you and your engineer adhere to the BS 7593:2019 guidelines, you are both protecting a vital home appliance. This collaborative approach delivers clear benefits to your household:
-
Slash Energy Bills: A clean, protected system transfers heat more efficiently, meaning less wasted gas and lower heating costs.
-
Extend Boiler Life: By tackling corrosion and sludge immediately, you dramatically reduce the chance of premature failure, saving you thousands on replacement costs.
-
Validate Your Warranty: Most manufacturers require compliance with BS 7593:2019 to honour your boiler warranty. Your proactive maintenance makes sure you're covered.
