VIDEO - How to fix one radiator not working
Let's say you have 10 radiators in your house, but one of them simply refuses to get hot, what do you do?
Experiencing the issue of having a cold radiator is a very common central heating problem. Though it can be frustrating, it is usually a simple task to fix it, as Jimmy explains in the video below.
Getting any central heating problem fixed quickly is important as it can directly impact the cost of your heating bills. If you have a section of your heating not working, then your system is going to have to work harder in order to heat your home satisfactorily.
You may also find that because your home is not getting as hot as you would like it to, you resort to switching up your thermostat to try and compensate. This results in your system using more energy, leading to higher heating bills.
So, it's in your interests to get heating problems, such as the one in the video, resolved as soon as possible.
Jimmy the plumber looks at the reasons why this problem might be occurring and explains in easy-to-understand terms how you can fix it yourself!
Steps covered include:
- Dissipating any pressures in the radiator
- Turning the heating system off
- Flushing out the flow side through the termosatic radiator
