A knocking noise from a radiator is difficult to ignore and often raises concerns about the boiler. In most UK homes, however, banging or knocking sounds are caused by movement and pressure changes wi...
If your radiator clicks when the heating turns on or cools down, it’s usually caused by movement inside the system rather than a fault. In most UK homes, clicking noises come from pipes expanding, val...
If a radiator heats up normally but then loses its warmth much faster than the others, it’s usually a circulation issue rather than a fault with the radiator itself. In most UK homes, this behaviour m...
When downstairs rooms feel comfortably warm but upstairs bedrooms remain chilly, the boiler is rarely at fault. In most UK homes, this pattern indicates that hot water is circulating easily around the...
When radiators upstairs heat normally while downstairs radiators remain cold or sluggish, the boiler is rarely the cause. In most UK homes, this pattern points to how hot water is being distributed ra...
When some radiators heat quickly while others lag behind or feel unpredictable, the problem is rarely the boiler itself. In most UK homes, uneven radiator heating is a sign that hot water is not being...
When a radiator heats up normally and then cools down again while the rest of the system continues running, it usually indicates an imbalance in how hot water is circulating. The radiator is receiving...
When one radiator takes much longer to heat than the others, it’s usually a sign that circulation to that radiator is weaker than it should be. Radiators don’t all warm up at exactly the same pace, bu...
When a radiator only heats properly after the boiler temperature is turned right up, it is signalling a circulation weakness rather than a lack of heat. In UK heating systems, this behaviour usually m...
When one radiator stays cold while every other radiator in the house heats normally, the problem is almost always local to that radiator rather than the heating system as a whole. In UK homes, this pa...
