bleed radiators on or off What Happens When You Get Air in Your Heating System?

What a boiler technician might say;

“You have air in your system.”

What they mean:

Heating systems should contain only water.
Your system has air in it, which needs to be removed as it's either causing a problem or threatens to.

For your system to be running as efficiently as possible, only water should be present in the pipework and radiators.

If you have air in your system it will not work efficiently.

You will often notice this by bubbling noises in the radiator, or the top of the radiators will be cool.

Your installer should investigate the cause of air building up in the system.

They can often easily solve the problem by bleeding the radiators.

What a boiler technician might say;

“Your radiators need bleeding.”

What they mean:

Bleeding is the term used for letting air out of a radiator and heating system.

Bleeding a radiator involves opening a small valve at the top of the radiator to allow any trapped air to escape.

If a radiator will not heat up or if it gets hot at the bottom but not at the top, this is probably due to trapped air.

Air in the system can also cause a bubbling noise when the heating is running and bleeding all the radiators will often solve this.

You can easily bleed a radiator yourself, using a radiator key.

You need to be ready to close the valve immediately once the air has been released (at the point water starts to come out).

This water could be hot and may be dirty so you should have an old towel or something similar to hand to protect furnishings, carpets or of course yourself.

If you are the least bit unsure how to bleed a radiator you should contact your installer to do it for you.

It is often necessary to repressurise your system after you've done this, and your installer will be able to show you how to do this, or do it for you.
