It uses convection to transfer the heat to the surrounding air. Usually, we use radiators continuously during winter. Sometimes old radiators malfunction all of a sudden and demand emergency repair. If your radiator is not producing adequate heat to keep you warm, probably there is something awful going on.

Below are the two common issues most radiators show and require repair. 

Unusual Sound

If you hear any knocking sound don’t look away. Even though it’s not a major issue, you just cannot ignore it. A knocking sound from the radiator indicates it has some air trapped within.

Unusual Heat Distribution

Sometimes you may experience a colder temperature on the top of the radiator but much hotter at the bottom. It also disrupts temperature distribution and this is mostly caused by trapped air. Bleed the radiator to release air and it will function smoothly like before. But, setting up the radiator in the wrong way may shut it down or produce inadequate heat. If you are having this issue, do not forget to contact us. However, if you notice any hole in the radiator, you should replace it as soon as possible. In some cases, replacing a radiator comes at a cheap price compared to heavy repair.

One thing to remember— hot air is lighter and cold air is heavier. So, the radiator draws in the colder air at the bottom and passes it through the radiator fins, it then discharges warmer, lighter air at the top. This cycle continues and this is how radiators work with your boiler to heat up your home. Now, if your radiator stops working, your home will not heat up. The boiler will be drawing power and pad up your electricity bill without giving you the end product.
