Why is it important to have functional radiators?
It is very important to know what you can do to keep your radiators running smoothly, especially if they have been turned off at any point during the Summer. Radiators are essential appliances especially when it comes to heating your home so it is good to make sure you are looking after them. With that in mind, follow our guide on what you can do to make sure your radiators are looked after.
How do I ensure my radiators keep working well?
Check the pipework for decay
When you have turned off your radiators during the warmer months, this is a good time to take a look at the pipework to check for signs of decay and rust. Failing to spot these could lead to serious leakages which could end up costing thousands to repair. If you see any signs of build-up and the seals and joints, you will need to get a professional and qualified engineer, like one of ours here at Boiler Boys London to visit your property and take a look at it.
Keep an eye for cold spots
One of the first things you can do is lookout for any leaks or cold spots on your radiators. When looking for cold spots, we recommend checking the top of the radiator first. If you do find any cold spots then you will need to bleed the radiators to release any trapped air inside. If you need a hand with bleeding your radiators, our team is happy to help!
Turn on your heating intermittently in the Summer
Even if you are not using the heating during the summer months, it is very important to make sure that you turn your heating on every now and then just to make sure that your radiators are in working condition. Doing this every 3 weeks or so will help ensure that is running safely and ready for the winter period.
