Radiator bleeding house in Sidmouth

### Half Your Radiators Are Stone Cold

The heating's on. **Half the radiators are roasting hot**. The other half are **barely lukewarm**. Or they're hot at the bottom but **cold at the top**.

You know they probably need bleeding, but you're not sure how, and you're **worried about water going everywhere** or letting too much pressure out.

Meanwhile, you're **wasting money heating only half the house** and freezing in the rooms with cold radiators.

> 💡 **Pro tip:** Air always rises, so trapped air collects at the top of radiators. That's why they're cold at the top, hot at the bottom - classic sign they need bleeding.
