This is ridiculously timely Al - drained the system to add new inhibitor at the weekend and also took the opportunity to change out a TRV valve that would stick every year (fixed every year with an encouraging tap as per your other video on that!) and a lockshield valve where a previous owner had snapped the top off. All good on refilling other than a drip on the tank overflow (fixed by flexing the ballcock arm up a millimetre, sure you taught me to try that in another video too!) but then had an old double panel radiator with two bleed valves where one bleed screw worked but the other didn't. Couldn't work out why but the top of the one that wouldn't bleed air was cold. Watched this last night after it popped up in my subscriptions, this morning once the kids were up did exactly what you said in this video and finally got a satisfactory hiss. Many thanks as always! The whole job including having the confidence to drain and swap out the valves all from you.
Whoohoo! - replaced 5 old bleed valves as per your instructions. They were damaged by me bleeding them. Didn't flood the house either. Had to turn up water pressure after doing each one to bleed air out but all working now. Won't need to have the heating on for so long - new valves were only a couple of quid each so great result. Thanks Al.
well explained , with enough detail to help me understand what he was doing, but not too much. Very calming to have problems explained and solutions given, in clear language. Thank you.
Brilliant! It worked for me. The water pressure gage in the water tank was below one. I topped it up to 1 bar and was able to successfully bleed my radiator on top floor of the 3 story house which was the only one which wouldn’t bleed. Thank you.
Thanks mate - I had exactly the problem you described and the water sensor level (probably the wrong name for it) but it was down at 1.0 where a note on it from the previous house owner said set it up to 2.0 if it ever drops below. The heating engineer checked the system two days ago and didn't spot the problem. THANKS!
Trying to sort out the radiators on an oil boiler system. Little air in one but open for over 5mins, no water. Nothing in another. Rads only two years old and system had a cleaner flushed through when many of the radiators were replaced. Boiler was replaced same time. All working at the beginning of the year. Any tips?
Could you please advice. Should the heat temperature from the top part of the radiator and the bottom part be same or very near similer Ours we find the top is extremely hot 🔥 but the bottom are hot but not the same as top The flow side is blazing hot but the return side is hot but not that hot 🔥. Hope you understand what I'm trying to say Your advice and help would be much appreciated thanks 😊
Hi Al I have drained my radiators and change the water pump I have turned all the water supply back on and I’m getting no water or air from my radiators my water tank in the loft is full and my hot water is working fine just nothing from the radiators.
@@dereton33 Thanks Al for getting back so fast, I've now sorted the problem and it was the F & E tank it was empty the ball cock was stuck. I've replaced it and I now have hot radiators all around the house thank you Sir. Subscribed to your channel.
Hello love. I was wondering could you help. My plumber has just filled my boiler system with leak sealant. I forgot to ask him how long i leave the heating on till it works. Do you know?
I couldn't get the radiators upstairs to bleed, even though the header tank was full. It turned out the pipe to the header tank was solid with black deposit ,like charcoal. I guess the water doesn't circulate through that pipe . Unfortunately I didn't find the problem until it had damaged the heat exchanger in the boiler, because it couldn't vent. :-(
My thermostat is at 30 and my rads are turned up to 5 on the valve and they are barely warm.. I've bleeded the radiators and only water no hissing sound Can someone please tell me how I can make my radiators hotter.. (we have a heat pump air to water)

Thank you so much I am currently sitting on the floor watching your video bleeding my radiators. Great Advice. 😎
No problem.

That is great to know, getting the confidence to do it yourself is what my channel is all about.

Absolute brilliant advice, followed the combi instructions and it works to a Tee! Simply genius - thank you
You're welcome!

No problem Andrew.
Absolutely brilliant advices, you fixed our very cold problem! Who knew combi pressure was an issue!
Glad it helped!

Thanks Al. Great information - easy to understand!
Very welcome
Once again you have saved me. Thanks for sharing Al, it was the last of the 3. Just needed a pin to push remove blockage. 🙂
No problem 👍

Bleeding marvelous video Al 😁
Ha ha nice one PB.
Step 1 got me sorted. Thanks again for making this video. 🙏🏻
No problem.
Thanks!! The old pin fixed my blocked valve 👍
No problem.
I love this man ❤ wealth of knowledge
Thanks.
Good video, well explained and to the point. 👍🏽
Appreciate it!
@@dereton33 however, I can’t get air out of upstairs radiators and the small tank in loft seems ok. Plenty of water in it. Could it be an air lock?

Check the F and E tank in the loft the valve may be stuck in the off position.
Great information - thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Cheers Barry.
You are amazing. Thank you for kindly sharing your knowledge. 🙏🏿
You are so welcome
Thanks Alan
Very useful information again
Very welcome, all the best Simon.
Thank you for your help,
No problem.
Thank you for that, great advise and always good to know for the future, take care, regards, Chris. 👍👍👍
My pleasure! All the best Chris.
Could you please advice. Should the heat temperature from the top part of the radiator and the bottom part be same or very near similer
Ours we find the top is extremely hot 🔥 but the bottom are hot but not the same as top
The flow side is blazing hot but the return side is hot but not that hot 🔥. Hope you understand what I'm trying to say
Your advice and help would be much appreciated thanks 😊
Yes similar but a touch cooler on the bottom.
Absolute legend mate!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
No problem.
Hi Al I have drained my radiators and change the water pump I have turned all the water supply back on and I’m getting no water or air from my radiators my water tank in the loft is full and my hot water is working fine just nothing from the radiators.
Air lock in the heating system. Make sure the F and E tank is filling ok and the valve is not jammed.

Usually about 4 hours.
@@dereton33 awww thank you. I knew you would know. Best wishes xx

These things unfortunately happen.
Fantastic thanks!!
You're welcome!
my radiator is psi what then? my fourth floor won't bleed everything below bleeds and fills with water.
Maybe to high to get enough pressure to bleed.
Hero - thank you
No problem.
My thermostat is at 30 and my rads are turned up to 5 on the valve and they are barely warm..
I've bleeded the radiators and only water no hissing sound
Can someone please tell me how I can make my radiators hotter..
(we have a heat pump air to water)
O dear, heat pumps, not a lot of heat is going to come from the ground this weather.
@@dereton33 thank you for the quick response. :)
That would be the council for ya!
But is it ‘air’ or gas from the products of corrosion? It could you a clue that you need other intervention.
Very true.
Uncle what r u trying to say? Our radiator is not working and u wasted my 5 mins
Watch someone else then.
