Winter in Scotland is a breathtaking spectacle, with landscapes draped in a serene blanket of snow. Yet, behind the picturesque scenes lies a harsh reality—last winter, many households across Scotland faced an unexpected adversary: the breakdown of their trusty boilers. In this reflective blog, we delve into the challenges and shared experiences of those who weathered the cold when their heating systems failed. We seen this first hand at iSafe last winter and were on hand to help hundreds of homes as the temperatures dipped.

Boiler Breakdowns in Winter

Last winter in Scotland, as temperatures plummeted, the warmth of home became a precious commodity. For some, however, this comfort was abruptly disrupted when their boilers decided to take an unexpected hiatus. The sudden loss of heating in the midst of winter is more than an inconvenience—it’s a challenge that tests the mettle of households, their coping mechanisms, and their ability to come together in unity. The added stress of having to heating and or hot water in the winter is something we take very seriously at iSafe. This is why we put measures in place to make sure we can help as many people as possible as we get into the height of winter.
