Keston Boilers Guide

Hi,

I am having a problem with my Keston Combi C36 boiler. From last three or four days, I am noticing that some of the radiators are working fine while others are not. In short, some radiators are hot while others are not. Can someone here please suggest a possible reason behind it?

Thanks a lot

James

Hi James, some radiators can be stubborn & do not heat as properly and evenly. The major effect is wasted energy, uneven heat and high-energy bills. I would suggest you check all the valves on the sides of radiators as these valves always control the flow thus, if one valve is locked or there is an uneven flow, you will get the uneven heat. The lockshield valve is the smallest valve & controls the water flow through a radiator. This valve may have to be opened widely in case the radiator is extremely far from your boiler. In other words, you have to adjust the valves in order to ensure that all the valves are getting sufficient hot water. However, if both valves on the boiler are opened correctly & heat is not releasing, you may have a backup issue.
