Radiator Bleeding and Balancing in Grand Rapids, MI

A radiator that is warm at the bottom and cold at the top has air in it. Opening the bleed valve with a radiator key until water runs steadily usually fixes it. Do it with the circulator off and the system cool, then check the pressure gauge afterward, since bleeding lowers it.

Balancing is the harder part. In a house where the rooms nearest the boiler bake and the far bedrooms stay cool, the lockshield valve on each radiator needs setting so water does not take the shortest path.

Reliable Boiler Service connects Grand Rapids, MI homeowners with technicians who bleed, balance and add automatic air vents where air keeps collecting. Steam systems are different. There are no bleed screws, and uneven heat usually comes from undersized or stuck air vents on the radiators and mains.

Radiator Bleeding And Balancing FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Radiator Bleeding and Balancing

Questions we hear most often about Radiator Bleeding and Balancing in Grand Rapids, MI.

Talk to a real person
Do condensing boilers work with old cast iron radiators?
They can, but they only condense when return water comes back cool. Outdoor reset control and properly sized radiators make the difference.
Why are my radiators cold at the top?
Air is trapped in them. Bleed each radiator with a radiator key until water runs steadily, then check the boiler pressure and top it up if needed.
Why does my steam heat bang and hammer?
Banging usually comes from condensate trapped in a pipe that lost its pitch or a radiator tilted the wrong way. A pressuretrol set too high makes it worse.
How often should a boiler be serviced?
Once a year, ideally before the heating season. Steam boilers with a float type low-water cutoff also need regular blowdown through the winter.
What should I do if my boiler is leaking?
Turn the boiler off, close the fill valve if water keeps spreading, and call (866) 456-6311. Note where the water is coming from, since that decides between a repair and a replacement.
