heating on timer, water turned off

larko · 2015-08-11 11:02:23

Sorry if this seems like a silly question but I have the water heating (gas) on timer to come on during the day but I see a notice from county council they are turning water off in our estate for maintenance until 6pm. Could this damage the system/be dangerous? Many thanks

I'd be surprised if your gas boiler/heater doesn't have safety cut-outs to protect against such eventualities.

Not a problem unless you have completely drained all the water out of your tank.
