Industrial Radiator Repairs

If you’re tempted to try and diagnose radiator issues yourself, start by gauging the functionality of your heating system. Check each radiator in your commercial space to see if they’re giving off enough or any heat. If multiple units aren’t working, you’ll want to call in the professionals for help.

In some cases, you may notice that your radiator is cold to the touch on top but warmer at the bottom. This is caused by trapped air. When hot water fails to circulate properly through the unit, the air takes its place. This issue requires you to “bleed” the radiator, which involves releasing the trapped air via the bleed valve. A bleed key or flathead screwdriver is needed to open the bleed valve. A hissing noise will indicate air is being released and you’re doing the job right.

If you notice a radiator leaking, it’s best to call in an expert. In the meantime, check where the thermostatic valve connects to the pipes. Sometimes, a loose nut can cause a radiator to leak Use a wrench or pliers to tighten the nut and see if this stops or slows the leak. However, make sure you still have a professional check this out because a radiator that continues to leak can cause bigger problems for your business. 

Keep Your Radiators in Top Shape

If you’re hoping to get the most out of your radiators, make sure they are cleaned and maintained regularly. Before turning your heat on for the season, perform a visual inspection of your radiators, then have a professional from your local Aire Serv team check them out too. We’ll perform a thorough inspection, check for any cracks, and leaks, and ensure your system is in good operating condition for the season ahead. Because sometimes, even the smallest issues can become big problems if they are not addressed properly.

It’s also good maintenance to regularly clean your radiator’s air vents, which are usually located halfway down one side of each unit. If air holes become clogged, the efficiency of your heating system will be jeopardized. To clean them out, take a sewing needle or other fine wire to clear debris. Be sure the vent isn’t painted over or covered by furniture.

As mentioned, you may also need to occasionally bleed a radiator to release the trapped air. Just be careful not to touch any hot water pipes, as this can cause serious injuries. When in doubt, call for radiator repair services – Aire Serv professionals are happy to help with radiator maintenance and cleaning.
