Should I turn off my boiler in the summer?

Instead of turning off your boiler completely during the summer, when you likely have less need for heating, you can use Holiday Mode to ensure it works at a low level and prevent parts from seizing up later on in the year when you have greater need. You can also set your boiler to only heat your water and not your radiators.
