Radiator Repairs – FAQs
Why is my radiator cold at the bottom?
A radiator that is cold at the bottom is often caused by a build-up of sludge or debris inside the system. In many cases, powerflushing or targeted cleaning can restore proper heat flow.
Should I repair or replace a radiator?
This depends on the radiator’s age and condition. Minor issues such as valve leaks or trapped air can usually be repaired, while older or heavily corroded radiators may be better replaced for long-term efficiency.
Do radiators need bleeding regularly?
Radiators may need bleeding if air becomes trapped inside the system, which can reduce heating performance. If radiators need bleeding frequently, it may indicate a deeper issue within the heating system.
Can radiator problems affect my boiler?
Yes, faulty radiators can put additional strain on your boiler and reduce overall system efficiency. Addressing radiator issues promptly can help maintain reliable heating and prevent further problems.
