If your radiators aren’t heating efficiently, air trapped inside could be the issue. Bleeding a radiator is a simple and effective way to improve heating performance and reduce energy waste. Follow this easy guide to get the job done.
Why Bleed a Radiator?

- Reduces Energy Bills: A fully heated radiator ensures less wasted energy.
- Prevents Cold Spots: Even heat distribution keeps your home warm and comfortable.
- Prolongs Radiator Lifespan: Regular maintenance helps avoid corrosion and damage.
How to Bleed a Radiator
- Turn off your heating system and allow radiators to cool.
- Locate the bleed valve (usually at the top of the radiator).
- Use a radiator key or a flathead screwdriver to slowly turn the valve counterclockwise.
- Release the trapped air until water starts to leak out, then close the valve.
- Turn the heating system back on and check for improvements.
