Bleeding a radiator system is the process of releasing trapped air from the system, which can cause cold spots in radiators and reduce the efficiency of the heating system. To bleed a radiator, you will need a radiator key or a flat-head screwdriver and a cloth or towel.
The importance of bleeding a radiator system cannot be overstated. Trapped air in the system can cause cold spots in radiators, which can lead to uneven heating and discomfort. Additionally, trapped air can cause the system to work less efficiently, which can lead to higher energy bills.
