The many benefits of replacing your radiators

These days, we’ve become all too familiar with the rising costs of domestic energy, so any opportunity to reduce our spending has to be taken more seriously. If your home has radiators that have been in operation for a number of years, you may not even realise that they could be costing you a great deal of money. If you decide to replace them, the chances are you will be paying less for your heating right from the start.

In many domestic properties, the radiators are working too hard to heat their rooms. They are far less energy efficient than they should be, and this is likely to prove expensive. And with energy prices far higher than they were a year ago, the effect on the annual budget is sure to be dramatic. Replacing your radiators is potentially a very good idea, but is it a job you can do yourself?

That will depend, of course, on how skilled you are at DIY projects. Some homeowners are perfectly capable of the process, but many others are not. Among the tasks involved will be:

• Isolating the existing radiators and draining them
• Removing your radiators and replacing the wall brackets
• Mounting your new radiators on the walls
• Connecting the radiators to your existing plumbing system

If these sound like jobs you can carry out yourself, then that’s all well and good. If you don’t, however, you should call in the professionals from Tayside Construction. We offer a full range of heating and plumbing services for both domestic and commercial properties alike. And as always, we’d be happy to answer any question you may have before you sign on any dotted lines.

Giving your home a cheaper and greener future

For many homeowners, there’s a tendency to think that if the radiators are still working, even if they have been in place for several decades, then there is no need to replace them. It’s worth noting, however, that over the years radiator pipes will become more and more corroded, and the water that passes through them will contain increasing amounts of thick sludge.

And in these environmentally aware times, replacing old radiators with new ones will also improve the property’s carbon footprint. Modern radiators tend to be sleeker and more efficient, and as a result they are far greener. If you’re concerned about your home’s impact on our planet, complete replacement will tick all the right boxes. Thankfully, the whole process is likely to be simpler and more affordable than you might have thought.
