Frequently asked questions
Why is one radiator cold at the bottom or the top?
Cold at the top usually means air, which bleeding fixes. Cold at the bottom or the middle usually means sludge, which a power flush or a chemical clean deals with. A radiator that is cold all over while the others are hot is often a stuck valve.
What is a power flush and do I need one?
A power flush pumps cleaning chemicals and water through the system at speed to clear sludge. It is worth it when several radiators are cold at the bottom or the boiler is noisy, and most manufacturers require the system to be clean before a new boiler goes in.
Is it worth fitting a smart thermostat?
It can be, if your heating runs on a simple timer and you are out at different times. The saving comes from heating the house less when nobody is in, not from the device itself, so be realistic about how you would use it.

What should I check before I hire a heating engineer?
