How To Bleed Radiator Air?

03.11.2023

Radiators air bleeding is essential for the efficient and proper functioning of heating systems. Radiators with trapped air can lead to energy wastage, higher utility bills, uneven heat distribution, and discomfort. Additionally, air bubbles can cause blockages and Corrosion within pipes and reducing the system's Life. Therefore, periodically bleeding radiators not only saves energy but also contributes to the longevity of the heating system.

To bleed radiators at home, you can follow these steps:
1.    First, open all radiator valves and thermostats.
2.    Set the heating system to its highest temperature setting and wait for a while.
3.    Check that the system's water pressure is at the appropriate level, typically between 1.5 to 2 bars.
4.    Start bleeding air from the radiators using the air bleed valves (bleeders) located on top of the radiators. To prevent water leakage, you can use a bucket or cloth while performing this step.
5.    Start with the radiator on the top floor. Slowly open the air bleed valve and release the air until water starts coming out. Keep the bleeder open until water flows consistently.
6.    Once water comes out, tightly close the air bleed valve and move to the radiators on lower floors, repeating the same process.
7.    Once you've completed this process for all radiators, check the system's water pressure again and top up if necessary by adding water to maintain a balanced pressure.

By following these steps, you can successfully bleed the radiators in your home.
After bleeding the radiators, here's how you can adjust the pressure correctly:
1.    Allow the heating system to cool down before proceeding.
2.    Check the pressure level on the pressure gauge. Typically, the ideal pressure for heating systems should be around 1.5 bars.
3.    If the pressure is low, you'll need to add water to the expansion tank to increase the pressure. Open the filling valve and add water to the system until the pressure gauge reaches around 1.5 bars.
4.    Once you've achieved the desired pressure level, close the filling valve.
5.    Turn on the heating system and ensure that all radiators heat up evenly and adequately.
6.    It is recommended to check the heating system's pressure periodically, usually once a year.

By following these steps, you can successfully adjust the pressure of your heating system. If you continue to experience issues or need assistance, it's advisable to consult a professional.
