Radiators, don’t risk it for next winter: this is the right maintenance to do, you will save a lot of money

Radiators always require maintenance but many underestimate this and find themselves with huge expenses the following year.

To overcome this problem and therefore do it at a domestic level without excessive figures and it is easily possible to follow simple directives from the experts which allow you to proceed personally, therefore without having to contact any specialized technician, saving hundreds of euros per year.

Since these are systems widely used in the home, it is clear that they are subject to wear and tear. To combat continuous use for months, in direct contact with water and with all connected mechanisms such as boiler and management devicesmaintenance needs to be done.

Radiators, how to carry out maintenance to avoid risks

This should be done at least twice a year, once before starting to use the radiators and once before turning them off permanently for several months. This step is essential because it allows you to better manage their use and therefore to avoid traffic jams and waste. If the radiators have a functioning deficit, not only will they have a dangerous impact on the boiler and in any case on the heat emission but, over time, they will increasingly weigh on the costs on the bill. So they are a double economic burden for everyone.

To carry out maintenance the first thing to do is turn off the systemthen go to remove dirt and dust both indoors and outdoors, then clean the grills to allow the hot air to flow better. Then move on to internal cleaning; to do this it is necessary to check the valves, purge the air and any residual water accumulated until the spill ends and it is empty. At that point they can close for the following year without problems.

The same thing must be done even before operating them, this is because clearly after months of stopping it is plausible to find air in the pipes. Be careful not to immediately increase the pressure of the boiler but give the radiators time to start and then only then set the temperature. An overly violent approach is not only dangerous but unnecessary. In fact, with the right steps it is useless to set a very high temperature. If the radiators work correctly it is not necessary to make them travel with increasingly hotter water.

With a few simple steps at the end of use and before starting to use them, therefore between September and October, you obtain a system that produces heat in an excellent way, diffuses it impeccably and reduces the impact on the environment and on the bill. All these steps are fundamental and must always be considered, what are minimal problems today become functioning deficits later and only require the intervention of a specialist and therefore a lot of money.
