With the arrival of winter, the use of heating becomes essential. But many people make a very common mistake that can double their energy bill when using the heater. Explanation!
Did you know that certain actions that may seem trivial to you can actually lead to excessive energy consumption and increase your heating costs? That’s why it is necessary to be aware of these mistakes and avoid them.
How to bleed the radiator and prepare it for winter?
Many people do not know how to use this device correctly. It is therefore not surprising that they end up with an excessive energy bill. To avoid throwing your money away, you must pay special attention to your radiator and maintain it properly. Indeed, there are certain procedures to follow each year before restarting your heating.
Bleeding a radiator: how to do it?
Is your radiator cold or does it only heat at the bottom after restarting? This may be a sign that it needs to be bled. Indeed, after months of inactivity, it is very likely that there is air trapped inside it. Here are the steps to solve this problem:
After identifying the radiator to bleed, turn it off and wait for it to cool completely.
Locate the bleed valve (usually located in the upper corner of the radiator) and place a basin underneath to catch any water that escapes, following the evacuation of the air.
Using a bleed key, open the screw and let the air out.
If you hear a hissing sound, the air has been released and you can now close the valve.
Although bleeding your radiator can control its energy consumption, there is one mistake to banish when using it.
