Bleeding radiators
2 comments
Bleeding radiators releases trapped air from your central heating therefore allowing better and more efficient radiation of heat through out your home. You should try to make this a yearly job to keep your heaters running as efficiently as possible
Tools and Materials
Radiator bleed key or flat head screw driver, old cloth.
N.B: Bleeding radiators in a sealed system will reduce the overall pressure of the entire system. Due to this you will need to top up the system following bleeding the radiators from the main cold water feed. To do this consult your central heating system manual or if in any doubt call in a qualified plumber or heating engineer for more advice.
Tip: Before you start, the central heating needs to have been on for a short period of time to allow hot water in to the radiators.
