Pinderson Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Had a new boiler installed at the weekend...Tonight one of my downstairs radiators has started making a humming noise..Anything i can do myself before calling the plumber back...? Regards Probably air in the radiator. it is a common problem. Just get the system hot then CAREFULLY open the screw to bleed the radiator. You will need a cloth.

*Wallace* Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I always thought radiators should be bled when cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
