Reading's unique heating challenges
About 120 nights a year below freezing, when aging heating systems give out
Pre-war blocks near the square run heating systems decades older than the newer builds toward Wakefield
First frost typically lands around October 30
Seasonal timing
Reading's median first frost lands around October 30, the same date it lands in Wakefield just to the south. A system that hissed or ran rough through last year's early cold snaps tends to do the same again once that date arrives.

Generally, yes. A system that's merely out of balance sometimes needs a smaller fix than a full replacement, and a second technician occasionally catches that difference.
That depends on the specific policy, so the insurance provider directly is the most reliable source for exact requirements. Photos of the damage and a repair invoice are typically part of it.
Right around the October 30 first frost is usually when a unit that struggled last year starts showing the same strain again, ahead of the coldest stretch of winter.
