Does your radiator feel colder at the top than at the bottom? Getting things toasty again should be as easy as bleeding your radiator. This releases any trapped air and should only take you a few minutes.
Follow the instructions below for a quick fix:
- Most radiators have a bleed screw at the top of the radiator. Most of the time they are positioned at the ends of the radiator and sometimes they are on the back.
- Place a cloth underneath the bleed valve to catch any leaking water.
- Insert a radiator key (these can be bought from most DIY stores) into the bleed valve and carefully turn it anticlockwise (usually a quarter or half turn will do the trick). The air will start escaping with a hissing sound similar to a bicycle tyre. When water begins to dribble out, all the air is purged.
- Tighten the valve as soon as water begins to flow and use the cloth to clean up any spills (be careful, though, as the water can be scalding hot).
- Switch the heating back on.
- Problem solved!
