Why are my radiators slow to heat up?
The great news is that if your radiators are causing you grief, especially with Winter months around the corner, a heating engineer in Gloucester can help iron out any issues and find a solution to suit you. Sparta Mech finds radiators are slow to work or stop working all together because of a leak in the radiator, the thermostat not working properly, or a blockage or corrosion within the pipe system. A desperate family on Gladstone Road got in touch with us as they wanted to check the radiator and boiler were working in preparation for colder months. They found all radiators at the semi detached, late Victorian property were very slow to warm up. Some radiators even had cold spots which indicate pockets of trapped air in the system. The homeowners did the right thing and tried to bleed the radiators out first but found this made no difference.
What does a heating engineer in Gloucester do?
It all depends on the plumbing or heating problem we’re faced with. Sparta Mech have helped customers reset their thermostat radiator valve which can seize up in a closed position. In some cases, homeowners experience hot water from taps but find the radiators don’t heat up. If this happens, we suggest repairing the diverter valve in the boiler. While inspecting the radiators and boiler at the property on Gladstone Road, we were happy to confirm that the boiler, radiators, thermostat and network of pipes were in reasonably good condition. We determined the slow starting radiators were due to debris and sludge sitting in the system. Thankfully the solution was a simple power flush, a very intense cleaning process using a chemical treatment to clear the system.
