They are a robust heating solution but over time, issues can pop up. By following these tips, you can make sure you get the best out of your new installation.

Furniture

As a rule, it is best not to place your furniture in front of your radiator. This can result in damage to the furnishings in your home.

Anything that is blocking the radiator will stop the heat from circulating around the room efficiently. Your radiator won’t heat the room as well as it should and will make your boiler work harder than it needs to.

Drying

It is common for households to dry their clothes or towels off by hanging them on the radiator. For example, the first thing you might do when you finish showering is hang your towel up onto the radiator to dry off for the next time you need it.

This can cause your radiator to create condensation and rust as a result.

Cold Spots

If you’re finding that your radiator is not making a room as toasty as you’d hoped, checking regularly for cold spots can help to diagnose the problem. Sometimes, if none of your radiators are heating up, this can mean a problem with the boiler.

However, if you’ve noticed it’s happening to just one of them, this is usually an issue with the radiator. If you do discover a cold patch, do not fear! There are a few different things that could be causing this.

Such as blockages within the radiator, your timer not working as it should or your thermostat could be set too low.

Cold Upstairs Radiators

If you’re finding that radiators in specific parts of your home aren’t working as they should, there may be a problem with the zones in your heating system.

Zones help to control the different temperatures of certain rooms, if your upstairs radiators are cold, this could indicate that your expansion tank has run dry. This usually points to a larger problem.

There are many solutions you could try to get your radiator going again such as: checking your ball valve in your expansion tank is not blocked, refilling your cistern, and making sure your ballcock is kept afloat.

By following these simple tips, you can make sure your radiators are kept in good condition and in working order. It’s good to know how to fix issues when they come up but it is also worth noting that boilers should be checked regularly by an engineer.
