Diesel and gas caravan heating systems are designed for compact, energy-efficient warmth, but like any mechanical unit, they experience wear over time. Carbon build-up, blocked vents, electrical faults and fuel delivery issues can reduce performance or cause complete failure. Thorough servicing involves inspecting burners, testing thermostats, checking electrical connections, cleaning components and ensuring ventilation systems are clear and functioning correctly. These steps help maintain consistent heat output while supporting safe operation.

Ignoring minor heating issues can lead to higher fuel consumption, poor airflow or safety concerns. Preventative maintenance ensures the system performs as intended, improves energy efficiency and extends the lifespan of key components. Whether preparing for a winter getaway or resolving an unexpected issue, professional heating servicing ensures comfort and peace of mind on every trip.

How often should a diesel or gas caravan heater be serviced?
Diesel and gas caravan heaters should generally be serviced every 12 months or before extended winter travel. Regular servicing helps prevent carbon build-up, fuel blockages and electrical faults that can reduce performance. If the heater is used frequently or in colder climates, more regular inspections may be recommended to maintain safe and efficient operation.
Why is my caravan heater blowing cold air?
A caravan heater blowing cold air can indicate ignition problems, thermostat faults, blocked fuel lines or airflow restrictions. In diesel systems, carbon build-up is a common cause, while gas heaters may experience pressure or regulator issues. Professional inspection is recommended to accurately diagnose the problem and ensure safe repairs.
Are diesel caravan heaters better than gas heaters?
Both diesel and gas heaters have advantages. Diesel heaters are often more fuel-efficient for extended off-grid travel and provide steady heat output. Gas heaters can heat a space quickly and are common in many caravan setups. The best option depends on travel style, fuel availability and personal preference, but both systems require regular servicing to remain safe and reliable.
