Bleeding Central Heating Rads.

aardvarkuk

I know that you turn the key on the Rads to let the air out but do you have to do it a certain way, i.e. Is it best to bleed upstairs or downstairs first, do you have to start the furthest point away from boiler etc etc.



Thanks for any help

Am prepared to be corrected on this, but I don't think it matters how you do it.

That is my impression as well, and the advice websites don't give a sequence of radiators to bleed.

Make sure the central heating is off first.

There is a danger of pulling more air in if it is left on.

If you have a combi boiler/pressurised system double check the pressure dial after bleeding. It should be around 1 bar.
