Radiator Not Working? Here are a few tips!

Jul 31, 2020 | Heating

Here are a few quick tips to get your radiator working:

Check Your Boiler
The boiler warms up your radiators and provides you hot water; so if this is not working nothing else will help. Check to see if you have hot water or if you have any error codes on the boiler.

If you do have hot water then check your room thermostat is operating (check out our other blog related to room thermostats)

Bleed Radiators/ Remove Air
If your radiators are hot at the bottom but cold at the top you could have air trapped in your radiators which need to be removed. (Check out our blog on how to bleed your radiators)

Open Radiator Valves
Check to see if both your radiator valves are open by turning them anti clockwise. If you have a Thermostatic Radiator Valve you should turn it to max or the highest number.

If all fails and these quick tips do not work than you will need to call a professional to diagnose and fix the problem.

So the time came for a new boiler system; having used Plumbing Doctors previously for other minor works I contacted them again as I knew they would be able to help. Plumbing Doctors gave me all the options available with transparency throughout. I was able to consult and amend the works to my requirements. Both Wasim and Curtis clearly take pride in their work and it showed in their professionalism and approach to the install. They really are very knowledgeable and solution orientated. They have some great YouTube vids that also explain some of the processes.
