How do I bleed my radiators?

If your radiators have cold spots or are not heating up efficiently, they may need to be bled to improve heating performance and circulation. Bleeding radiators can also reduce noise levels and improve your system's energy efficiency. Here's how to bleed your radiators: :1. Turn off your central heating system and wait for radiators to cool.2. Locate the bleed valve on the radiator. A special key is often needed.3. Place a radiator key or a flat-head screwdriver on the bleed valve and carefully turn. Air trapped in the system will escape during this process.4. Hold a cloth or container under the valve to catch any fluid that may drip.5. Continue turning the key until water begins to flow steadily.6. Tighten the valve securely.7. Repeat this process for all the radiators in your home.8. Once you have bled all the radiators, turn your central heating system on and monitor boiler pressure. The pressure should be between 1 and 1.5 bar when the system is cold. If the pressure is too low, you may need to top it up using the filling loop, if your boiler has one. If unsure, contact a qualified engineer. By bleeding radiators, you can improve their effectiveness and the overall performance of your central heating system.

What is a power flush, and do I need one for my new boiler?

A power flush is a deep cleaning of your central heating system, using specialized equipment to remove sludge, rust, and other debris that can build up over time. This buildup can restrict water flow, reduce heating efficiency, and cause damage to your boiler and other components.While not always strictly necessary with a new boiler, a power flush is often recommended, especially if you're replacing an older system. It ensures that your new boiler is installed in a clean and efficient system, maximizing its performance and lifespan. A clean system also helps reduce noise and improve heat distribution.Signs that you might need a power flush include cold spots on radiators, slow heating, frequent boiler breakdowns, or noises coming from your heating system. Discuss with your boiler installer whether a power flush is advisable for your specific situation.
