British Gas Engineer Recommends People Follow '11am Rule' This Winter
British Gas warns that 54,000 UK households face heating issues due to frozen pipes and advises calling before 11am for same-day repairs during the cold snap.
British Gas is urging households to follow the '11am rule' to avoid boiler and pipe issues during the current cold weather in the UK.
When temperatures drop below zero, uninsulated pipes can freeze, causing pressure to build and potentially crack the pipe, leading to leaks or flooding.
If pipes are frozen, slowly pour hot water over the frozen pipe and place a hot water bottle over it to thaw it, then reset the boiler.
