Radiators giving you the cold shoulder? Here are a few ideas of what might be happening with your heating system.

Sludge

Sludge is a really common problem that causes radiators to stop being so efficient. Usually, if there is sludge lurking in your heating system, you will be able to tell because the radiators will be warm at the top and cold at the bottom.

How do you solve a problem like sludge? By having a qualified heating engineer power flush the system, it’s as simple as that.

Trapped air

If, on the other hand, your radiators are warm at the bottom and cold at the top, you’re probably dealing with a trapped air problem. Air bubbles can prevent your radiators from heating up all the way, which is a problem that nobody needs.

How do you release trapped air? In terms of radiators, bleeding them is the commonest and simplest solution, and you can do it yourself.

A broken boiler

If you not only have problems with cold radiators, but also a lack of hot water, chances are you are having a boiler problem. If you think your boiler may not be working as it, should it’s really important that you get a qualified heating engineer in to have a look. Boiler problems can be very serious, and if you want to stay safe, you need to call a professional for a repair or replacement, it really is that simple.
