Radiator installation
Installing a radiator involves several important steps to ensure it functions efficiently, safely, and integrates well with your central heating system. These steps include planning and placement, shutting down and draining the system, removing the old radiator (if replacing), installing new brackets and new radiator, connecting the valve and finally refilling and testing the system.
Radiator leaks
Radiator leaks are a common issue in central heating systems and should be addressed promptly to prevent water damage, pressure loss, and system inefficiency. Regular servicing and system flushes can reduce corrosion and extend the life of your radiators and pipework.
Corroded radiators
Corroded radiators are a sign of wear and tear in your heating system and can lead to bigger problems if not dealt with promptly. Installing a magnetic filter and ensuring proper water treatment can significantly reduce the risk of corrosion and improve the overall health of your heating system.
Bleeding radiators
Bleeding radiators is a simple but essential maintenance task that helps keep your heating system running efficiently. It removes trapped air that can block the flow of hot water, causing cold spots and reducing warmth in your home. Radiators should be bled once or twice a year, especially before winter and any time you notice uneven heating or hear air in the system.
Balancing radiators
Balancing radiators ensures that heat is evenly distributed throughout your home — so every radiator gets hot at the right time, not just those nearest the boiler. It's a crucial step for an efficient central heating system, especially if you've recently had work done on your system (like bleeding or replacing radiators).
Radiator valve replacement
Radiator valve replacement is a common heating system maintenance task that can restore control, prevent leaks, and improve efficiency.
