With so many of us trying to save money where we can amid the ongoing cost of living crisis, and the weather about to turn much cooler, people will be looking for ways to heat their homes without spending more than they need to.
Appliance expert at Domestic & General Ian Palmer-Smith said: "Bleeding your radiators is important because when they are working inefficiently, they can drive up the cost of your energy bills". Andrei Carcu, electrician expert and manager at London Electricians 24/7, says the best time to do this is in the autumn when the air outside is starting to feel chillier. He said: "This way, you can ensure that your radiator is working efficiently and you won't be left shivering in the cold winter months."
How to bleed your radiator You will need a radiator key, a bowl to catch the water, and a cloth to clean up any spills.Firstly, you need to turn off your central heating, as you can't bleed a radiator with it on. Not to mention the radiator could be really hot and cause hot water to spurt out.Mr Palmer-Smith explained: "Ensure a cloth is placed below the valve to catch any water that may be released. Take your radiator key and insert it into the valve, then turn it anti-clockwise.
