To be honest, I feel better informed of how my heating works than I ever have. That was extremely helpful and well explained. Thanks a lot!!

[@gavindudley3737]

this is the most straight forward video on heating ive seen to date, easy straight forward instructions.. top man

[@nigelgoldsworthy354]

Simple, clear instructions. I’m off to sort my radiators. Thank you!

[@iainmacdonald5907]

8 min and learned more than every other heating video on YT! Great stuff!

[@hossphoenix4272]

No theatrical displays of silly quips - Just plain and simple explanation with diagrams. I learned a great deal. Great job and thank you.

[@Bobinka77]

This is the most helpful and straight forward guidance on the central heating issues. Thank you very much!!!

[@simoja07]

Incredibly helpful video and diagrams are excellent. As others have said, learned more in a few minutes here than several hours of other videos on KZbin. Spot on

[@Marties888]

I have watched a few videos explaining the same situations and this for me is the clearest and most straight forward. Well done and keep up the good work👍🏼

[@stonenpebble]

An excellent way of explaining how they work. The part about the balancing is what I think is wrong with mine. I’ve replaced the radiators one by one since moving in and some of the new ones no longer heat up. I’ve opened all the lock shield valves fully thinking it will increase the flow of water but that’s where I’ve gone wrong. Next thing is to balance them and increase the water flow to the ones furthest away from the boiler. Thank you for making this video 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ariftanoli9768]

Keep up the good mate. You always explain everything clearly. Thank you.

[@desipindu420]

Hi, thank you for the explanation. It really helped me understand how my radiators work. I am going to have a tough time finding out which warms up first and last bcos I have too many across three floors.

[@homeone4054]

The best easiest to follow video I have ever seen on this subject. Thanks for the great work!

[@SpainHighlander]

Thank you so much. I can finally get an understanding of what is going on in the darkest areas of my knowledge, God bless.

[@hassanzarbal9378]

Consistent video full of useful informations and less rubbish talk! Well done 👍

[@maxeisert7466]

One important tip I missed in this video is that if a radiator stays cold it could be due to the Thermostatic valve being stuck. This mostly happens on radiators that are not used very often or were not used for a long time. Just remove the thermostatic knob like shown on 1:26 and use some (penetrating) oil on the valve while pulling/pushing the valve in & out with a plier. After this, screw the thermostatic knob back on the valve like show on 1:34. Simple and only takes a few minutes.

[@ericBcreator]

Yes, great tip. It (also) happens when you keep the thermostatic valves at the same position for a long time. To prevent this, turn the valves knobs all the way from left to right regularly.

[@MrJ-ro1yr]

Never pull the pin if its stuck and the system isn't de-pressurised

[@nissanswan6248]

I used wd40 spray and all opened up fine ! Try to turn left right gently and they should come back to work ! 👍🏽

[@TrueAlucardX]

Subscribed before even listening to your discription, but u have a vibe brother. Bless You and your kin. 🙏🏾

[@elche1387]

Amazing video. Well explained and with graphics. Lots of times spent to make it perfect. Thank you for giving your time to all of us.

[@BenHur872]

One of the clearest explanations I've seen. Thank you!

[@alanbrady7116]

I had a problem with rads not working and I've watched a few tutorials for some reason i understood this video more than others, thanks for the tip 👍 much appreciated

[@fabuscadorvid]

Pretty straight forward information shared on this video, very helpful and fast way to get to the possible solution. Thanks a lot.

[@tiith]

Watched your video, I have never really understood how the hot water heating system works as I grew up in a tropical climate. But this is an eye opener for me. Going to try and sort out my radiators now. Many of.

[@BuildingblueprintsUkltd]

Very simple, easy and clear. Great demonstration.

[@ethangallup565]

Been looking for an anomation of a boiler for a while and you guys did a great job!! Thank you!!!

[@markandrews8437]

Another excellent video mate I have the same problem with our radiators your explanation and illustration was spot on keep the videos coming and thanks for sharing 👍

[@WastedExample]

I had some issues with my heating and saw this video without any technical knowledge. The video helped a lot! Big thanks !!

[@vern600r]

Great video which has made my life at lot easier I finally know how a heating system works.

[@fyabun]

Great video. Clean, clear, plane language and accessible.

[@LERobbo]

Very clear video, thank you. My new home has floor heating on ground floor (where the thermostat is also installed), keeping the temperature very steady. First and second floor however are radiators, 4 pieces in total, 2 of which remain more or less luke warm, never more. Also, the other 2 are cold at the bottom which tells me the temperature drop (delta T) is too great for the boiler to sit in its HR range. Where do I begin correcting this?

[@agentling1]

Dude, I could listen to you explain stuff in your accent all day. Taught me what I came here to learn too. Legend.

[@lukaszk.4]

Thanks! Best video describing return valves!

[@raregroove84]

You are a life and money saver - God Bless and thank you - Brilliant detailed instructions

[@paulweaver9183]

Brilliant. The part about balancing is a superbly explained process. Thank you.

[@user-ds5jd5zy2d]

These informations are quite obvious, but I needed to hear them in order to realize those things Thank you mister!

[@AaqibNaeem]

Brilliant 🤩 Just rebalanced mine after watching your video, they are now working perfectly Thanks 🙏🏼

[@melliflousbufo]

Really helpful, with super-clear graphics - thanks!

[@Haabsa22024]

What a fantastic video. Really well explained and great use of animations. Fantastic.

[@servos101]

Crystal clear and concise explanation! Thank you!

[@adamseeley7063]

Thanks for the great explainer.. always feel better tackling something like this when I know what's actually going on under the hood.

[@naratipmath]

I don't know if you are a skillful plumber/heating expert or not. But you are certainly a good educator. The problem with trying to learn something from the plumber is that they are not good at explaining things and tend to show off their knowledge rather than helping you to understand something, which is fine since it is not their job to educate anyone. Additionally, most plumbers would not know how to make that animation.

[@anthonyhendry8075]

Likewise, the best explanation by far, thank you 👏.. Wish me luck!

[@Justwhois]

4:52 was the part that fixed my central heating - thank you 🤜🤛

[@wilsonkorea26]

Simple explanation of heating system in UK..thank you for your valuable efforts

[@malikifty]

Ive seen a few videos... this is the best and detailed one

[@djfactoruk]

Love your videos pal, always constructive content. Keep up👍good work.

[@seagers_studio]

Superb video mate thank you. Anyone reading, let the rads go cold before bleeding them!

[@rebeccaelizabeth7604]

2 minutes in and you solved my problem. Thanks so much for sharing :)

[@andrewturner6453]

Excellent video. Very clear and helpful. Thank you!

[@robertlipscombe2814]

AN EXCELLENT VIDEO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[@samjunior8919]

Fantastic explanation , you made my days warm

[@johnrichardson3112]

Hi, I think your videos are very helpful, one thing I noticed when balancing my radiators the temp on the return pipe is hotter than flow pipe with the trv..

[@cygnus108]

Very helpful video and well explained...Thank you.

[@josephj5864]

Informative with the diagrams. God bless and thank you for this. I'd like you to elaborate more on the feeding loop under the boiler and what does it serve? From the diagram, it seems like the feed of cold water will go to the inlet of the boiler, then take a feeding loop of cold water. The boiler will have two outlets of hot water, one for a normal tap/sink, and the other outlet of hot water will distribute to the radiators.

[@chrising970]

Very clear. Now I need a digital thermometer!

[@aleksandarsrdanov1171]

Thanks for the video. I got the basics now.

[@basejumper01]

Excellent video, helped me save a boiler engineer call out fee. Thank you!

[@ek6868]

Tanx for the upload clear and informative👍👌

[@russellg3775]

Excellent animation, very useful, thanks!

[@bygonebebygones8503]

The force is strong with this video ! Also I have this same boiler, the diverter valve keeps failing (plastic or metal, they both fail) :(

[@adisnikontovic2982]

I'll put this video in my favorites for this spring cleaning and check of my whole installation thank you very much

[@grahamdrew1069]

I watched several videos and did my mother's radiators. They and the boiler are so much better now and hopefully more economical

[@boherrmannsen8219]

if you have a boiler where the speed of the circulation pump can be adjusted, set it as low you can where all radiators still get heat then adjust the lockshield valve so the return pipe does feel warm to the touch this requires some going back and forth the idea is that you extract as much heat and hence you dont need to let the boiler run more than it has to

[@millomweb]

The experts say to go for a 20°C temp drop across rads. However, the fact is you don't need lockshield valves at all on a fully TRV system.

[@jonasbalvonas7516]

The best video, quick explain without bullshit about weather. Respect, Thank you , it was helpful

[@mohammedshahid7003]

Your videos are very informative. Thank you, and keep it up.

[@petecurran3995]

Great explanation and general arrangement scenario! 👌🏻

[@saviodias9374]

Thank you for sharing this information. It is very helpful.

[@bulmy]

Thanks so much for this. Very helpful for a beginner. :)

[@chenguanghe8243]

vey helpful video, thanks! i wonder with the return water going back to the central heating system, is it a problem that some of the impurities from the inner pipe of radiator also goes back and thus damage the heating system?

[@Stuart68505]

Helpful ideas. The thermostatic regulator frequently broke on a large low pressure steam system. Many times the replacement controller did not mate with the spring loaded shut-off part installed in the piping. Both parts had to be changed then. Hot water systems usually operate at lower temperatures than steam so the plastic thermostatic controllers last longer.

[@gedd4011]

A good clear presentation that has provided some useful pointers. Thanks

[@77Fortran]

Wonderful video, thank you very much!

Perfect i got my problem solved becouse your video , thank you so much

[@wivaquif]

Thank you , very clear instructions.

[@cikatillo84]

Great explanation, clear and to the point. As someone as mentioned another possible issue for a cold radiator could be the thermostat valve damaged or stuck, very easy to fix but worth noting for those inexperienced people out there an maybe should be added in the video as future update? Thanks to the content creator for this video

[@Rusties844]

Hello. So these thermostatic valves that come on when it detects the room has dropped below the desired set temp on module thing I’m having issues with. Can I just take the thermostatic valve off like in the video too stop system starting all the time If I m making sense. Cheers

[@ritzevespa]

Dude this is percect 🤗 This is what I do for a living 😊

Excellent informative video Sir. thanks

[@DieterHambloch]

Hey thanks, this video was really helpful. I have two radiators that I turned off recently (last year) as we rarely used the lounge and dining room. Now this Xmas I wanted to heat the rooms I turned them on and they are stone cold. So I followed your instructions and tried reducing others near by to divert the hot water but still nothing. Any ideas or suggestions on what i should do? thanks

[@WjamieRP]

Like the other people have commented - Brilliantly explained
