    Radiators Question - Should I Change Them?

    Hi, I had a new boiler (Baxi Duotec) installed with radiators a while ago. One room stays fairly warm and that has one of the original rads in it. All the others were replaced and the other rooms seem to not stay so warm. I said at that the time, this seems to keep the heat for longer and he...

    Plumber fitted an auto bypass a few weeks ago and put some more inhibitor in after I asked him to. Since then the radiators have started crackling really badly when heating up.

    Leaking joint on Aluminium radiators

    Hi, Where the valves screw into the aluminium rads has started to leak (all be it not that much). The system is a ordinary pressurised sealed system. The leak is hardly enough to drop the pressure. The system has been fine for 4yr+, I guess that the rubber gasket has started to fail. I have...
