Boiler Servicing in Bodrum: What to Do Before Winter
28 October 2026 1 min read
Bodrum winters are mild but damp. The checks to do in autumn so your boiler or heat pump doesn't fail on the first cold day.
Winters in Bodrum are mild compared with inland Turkey, but damp and windy. From November to March, heating runs almost daily in year-round homes — and a boiler that has sat unused all summer is most likely to fail on the first cold day.
Best time for a service: September to November
Servicing before the heating season reduces breakdowns and makes it easier to book a technician. From December, services get busy and appointments can take days.
What a service should cover
- Combustion chamber and heat exchanger cleaning — scale and soot reduce efficiency.
- Flue and air intake check — in windy areas, flues shift or get blocked by nests and leaves.
- System pressure — 1–1.5 bar when cold. If it keeps dropping, there may be a leak.
- Expansion vessel and safety valve.
- Gas leak test — always by an authorised technician.
Cold radiators
Cold at the top, warm at the bottom means trapped air — bleed the radiator. If radiators are generally weak, sludge may have built up and a power flush is needed. Bodrum's hard water speeds this up.
If your home is empty in winter
Rather than switching the boiler off completely, leave it on frost protection to stop pipes freezing, and ask a trusted pro to check monthly.
