Perhaps the most effective way of heating a modern home, central heating is extremely popular. While in the cold temperatures, your central heating system is crucial to keep the cold out and delivering a snug household setting. We all value the warmth and comfort that a fully functioning central heating system brings to the home.
Getting your home effectively insulated is something, but owning an effective boiler system will boost the energy qualities in your home and may assist in improving your wellbeing and also help you save money with your gas bills.
Present day, productive boiler system systems approximately make use of the equivalent energy as a regular gas fireplace. They are sophisticated equipped but new and old systems are liable to breakdown at some point so we have listed a few common problems below:
We have broken them down into the following categories:
Radiator Problems & Boiler Problems.
Knocking sound coming from Radiators.
Boiler thermostat set too high or faulty creating too hot water. Turn down the Central Heating boiler thermostat not the radiator thermostat. If this has no effect you may have a faulty thermostat.
Sludge builds up in radiators over time. Hot water can react with the scale to form bubbles. Air bubbles cause the problem.
Loss of water pressure in the system. If the boiler is fitted with a water pressure dial check that it is within the required range. Check the water supply is on and check that the expansion tank hasn’t run dry if fitted.
Radiators are cold
Assuming that the boiler appears to be working somehow the hot water is not reaching the radiators.
If all radiators are affected the most likely reason is the failure of the central heating pump.
Possible reason could be a faulty system thermostat.
Part of radiator is cold
If the top then the radiator may need bleeding with the radiator key.
If the bottom is cold then there may be a build up of sludge in the radiator which is constricting the flow of hot water.
If the center area is cold then this is caused by the build up of sludge
Most central heating systems develop this sludge. The build up starts at the base of the radiator and gradually builds up. It eventually causes water to be diverted away from some areas in the radiator.
Care is needed when tackling these deposits. Simply disturbing it and moving it around the system will just cause a problem in the future.
There is the very real chance that simply disturbing the deposits will mean that the contaminant reaches the boiler and then damages the boiler or at best restricts the water flow.
