How do i get rid of an air blockage in my hot water heating??? |
I recently replaced an old radiator at home ( I have gas central heating) at first it seemed an easy job and no fuss, WRONG! the heating still works fine but the hot water barely gets warm, I think there's an air lock in thr system but i don't know how to get rid of it - my wife is now going though the "I TOLD YOU TO GET SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING BUT YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN........!" help me prove her wrong - PLEEEAAASE!! bleed the system of air get a radiator key and open all the taps on the rads slowly one at a time. start at the bottom of your house and work up. you may even have to get in the loft if its working you will hear the air seep out of the tap. STOP when water comes out!!! Think you have to bleed the radiators,with a radiator key There should be release vents through out the system to bleed the air out of the steam lines, don't forget to be careful, there will be steam coming out of these lines (HOT). The system should not be hot when you do it. That is also a problem because the pressure won't be as high and it will take longer. i had this problem a few months ago it was a nightmare no hot water!!! what i did i got a hose pipe attached one end to the hot tap and the other in the cold tap. make sure the hot water tap is turned on and then turn the cold tap on full, give it a few minutes and the air lock should be pushed out. Hi! The FIRST thing you HAVE to do is shut the system off. Then go round and bleed ALL the radiators. You'll probably have a radiator key, but if not, you'll get one at Homebase or B&Q. Then turn the system back on, and VOILA !! Nice hot water and radiators! Best of luck! Get yourself a radiator key, you can buy these quite easily from any diy shop, then bleed ALL the radiators, this should get rid of the air lock. GOOD LUCK!!!!! and STAY WARM!!! hello gary p. try this if you know much about electricity get you a volt meter and test the elements and see and so look at the top of the heater and see if theres a blow off if so lift up first stand clear may be hot GL ( good luck )and tell wife haha |
