4 new radiators (pricing request) (Ed.)

[killie77]

Hi
Thinking of having all four Rads removed and Four new installed in the same place. I’m guessing they’re between 15 and 20 years old. I think they’re all 60 cm width not sure of the drop. Could anyone give me an estimate for supply removal and fitting in the G13 area of Glasgow.
Thanks in advance

What is the reason for change.

 

[killie77]

Don’t think I’m getting enough heat out of the current ones. Changed the Boiler about 2 years ago. The Radiators were here when we bought the House about 6 years ago. I believe they haven’t been changed in a while. Saying that a flush of the System might be another way to go.

90% the radiators don't need changing. Your methods of approach do though.

Have you tried bleeding the radiators?
Is your system well balanced?

I think you haven't grasped the purpose of a DIY forum.

You’re probably right I’ll try Bleeding them. How do I balance them ?

What boiler do you have
What temperature are you running the system at.
How many radiators total.
Do you have boiler installation manual and is the benchmark logbook filled in? What is the gas pressure recorded and gas consumption figure entered. Flue gas analysis figure?

Might be boiler installation.

I’ve got 4 Rads. Which aren’t on at the moment as it’s only the middle of September.I usually have the Boiler serviced once a year. When I do I’ll ask the Plumber if he thinks the Rads are up to scratch..
Thanks for all the replies.
