Love it or loathe it, winter is here. And UK Radiators – the country’s leading online radiator supplier – has plenty of advice when it comes to heating up your living space as the temperature cools.
 
Rob Nezard, Managing Director of UK Radiators, said: “Getting the best out of your heating system is vital, especially if you want to create a cosy living space where you can unwind and relax. A few small tweaks for optimal performance will ensure your living space is a sanctuary from the elements.”
 
Here Rob shares his top three tips for radiator performance this winter:
 
Radiator Maintenance
Consider replacing any radiators older than 15 years – any older are unlikely to be heating your home effectively and you would benefit from upgrading to new, more energy efficient ones.
Rob said: “If your radiators aren’t ready to be replaced yet but they could do with some maintenance, then bleeding and flushing them should be top priorities. By bleeding your radiator, you can reduce air that becomes trapped inside. Air is much less efficient at conducting heat compared to water so will create cold patches on the surface of the radiator which don’t seem to heat up properly, no matter how high you turn the temperature up.”
 
Thermostatic Radiator Valves
Invest in thermostatic radiator valves.
Rob said: “These clever valves self-regulate by expanding to block the flow of water when they get too hot. Once installed, you can set the temperature for a room and if it drops below that, the radiator will automatically turn on without you having to do anything.”
 
Draught proof your living space
Finally, don’t let any of your precious heat escape.
Rob said: “Doors often warp with time to create gaps at the bottom which will suck the hot air out and let in a chilly draught. Identify potential draught creators and target them with excluders that will plug those gaps and look good at the same time.”
