Here are some heating facts that you should have if you are a property owner. One cause of air in your radiators is that fresh water entering a heating system contains around 15% air by volume. Over 80% of energy consumption in an average home is used for heating and hot water. By lowering the temperature of the house 1 degree C, energy consumption is reduced up to 10%. There are so many boiler heat systems in service today that you can find everything from the very old to the brand new in service in both residential homes and commercial buildings as well. How do you make sense of the many different products that are out there? What are the common considerations surrounding these heat systems? What are the more subtle considerations that go along with radiator heat? Can one type of valve be switched with another? What are the major safety considerations involved? It is important to make sure you know the answers to these questions. Boiler based heat systems have many things to consider. Such things as proper sizing, flow balance, towel radiators, radiator tails, union valve tails and bracket fittings are all consideration that must be managed with a boiler heat system. Fitting radiator valves to replace leaking or corroded valves will be necessary at one time or another during the lifetime of a heating system. Sometimes a hand-wheel valve will need to be replaced with a thermostatic valve. A good company that supplies radiator valves can help you figure out all of these things. They can help you with all of your replacement needs from selecting products to frequently asked questions such as what products are best for a specific application. It is very important that your boiler is serviced regularly. It is recommended that it be done once a year. There are many reasons that a boiler system may not function as efficiently as it might. Sometimes minor considerations can make a big difference in a radiator's performance. Radiators should never be covered by curtains. They should also stay air free. This requires that the system be bled manually unless you have a self-bleed valve. Programmable thermostats are available that allow you to control the temperature in your home throughout the day. There are types of valves called Thermostatic Radiator Valves or TRV's, which allow you to regulate the temperature on room by room biases. Choosing the right radiator valves can make a big difference, so make sure you do your research and choose a reputable company to buy them from.
