Installers urged to offer regular radiator ‘health checks’

As temperatures remain low, Arctic Hayes, the heating and plumbing tools and equipment specialist is encouraging heating professionals to include radiator health checks as part of their winter service offerings.

By ensuring radiators are working efficiently, installers can help homeowners stay warm, reduce energy bills and prevent costly repairs.

Radiators, often the most visible part of a home’s heating system, are essential for maintaining consistent warmth. However, they are frequently overlooked until problems arise, leaving homeowners frustrated with uneven heating or rising energy bills. This is why radiator health checks are becoming an increasingly popular service

These checks involve a series of maintenance tasks - bleeding radiators, checking valves, flushing systems and testing pressure - to ensure radiators are functioning efficiently. When performed regularly, these checks can improve energy efficiency, prolong the lifespan of heating systems and help reduce costs for homeowners.

“Radiators are an integral part of any heating system, yet they’re often neglected,” explains Lee Parsons, CEO of Arctic Hayes. “Heating professionals have a real opportunity to provide value by proactively identifying and addressing radiator issues. Not only does this enhance comfort for homeowners, but it also improves energy efficiency at a time when every penny counts.”

Radiator health checks are a win-win for both homeowners and heating professionals - for homeowners, they provide improved heating performance, enhanced energy efficiency and a reduced risk of costly repairs. For professionals, they offer an opportunity to deliver value-added services, increase revenue by bundling with boiler servicing and showcase their expertise with professional tools and techniques.

Arctic Hayes offers continued support by providing high-quality tools, essential products and expert advice, ensuring that radiator health checks are performed efficiently and to the highest standard.
