How Do I Bleed my Radiator?

So, the days are warming up nicely and you're only using your central heating later in the evening when the chill develops in the air.  Marvellous!  But what if your radiators aren't getting so warm at the top?  You may be getting a build up of air in your radiators.

Make sure that before you finally switch off your central heating system for the summer, you do the final "health" checks for your system, reducing the likelihood of having to call out a professional when you switch your heating back on in the autumn.

This article on How to Bleed a Radiator should help you tackle the task.

Of course, if you're thinking about having your central heating replaced, or updating or installing a radiator, it's best to get it done over the summer months, as you won't be sat in the cold, waiting for the job to be done.  Take time to plan what you want, find a reputable plumber, choose your products and get the job done.

Plumbers and Heating Engineers are always over-subscribed between September and November, as heating systems are switched on for the first time since the spring and play up.  Make sure you get your boiler serviced during the summer and avoid the frustration of waiting days or even weeks for an engineer when you need him most.
