A radiator balancing specialist can restore equilibrium to your home’s heating system and ensure that heat is evenly distributed throughout the house. This helps you save on your energy bills and keeps your central heating system in good working condition. The specialist will identify any issues with the heat flow in your home by running a series of tests and bleeding specific radiators if necessary. By the end of the process, all of your radiators will heat up at the same rate and the temperature between one side and the other will be at the recommended 12°C. A plumber or handyman who is competent with heating systems can also find leaks, power flush a heating system and bleed radiators if required.

To get the radiators in your home balanced in Ireland, expect to pay somewhere between €60 and €200. Qualified plumbers are likely to charge far higher rates than handymen and they may use specialist tools to complete the balancing. Sometimes, the most cost effective way to get radiators balanced is to include it as part of a boiler inspection service. It’s always worth making sure your heating system is working as it should, both in terms of comfort levels and reducing energy costs. A full service that includes radiator bleeding, balancing and a boiler inspection would usually cost between €150 and €200.

Balancing radiators can take several hours, especially in homes with multiple floors and a large number of radiators. Most of that time is spent waiting for individual radiators to heat up and cool down and taking temperature readings.
You can certainly give it a go, but it’s a tedious, tricky process. An experienced Tasker will be able to complete the job much more efficiently, identifying the control radiator quickly and ensuring there is a 12°C difference in the radiators’ pipework. On top of this, they’ll come equipped with all the tools to open valves and take accurate temperature readings such as the lockshield valve adjuster and a special thermometer.
There is a sweet spot for radiators to do their job most effectively, and 12°C is the ideal temperature difference between one side of the radiator’s pipework and the other. At this temperature, the radiator will heat the room up to a comfortable temperature without using up more energy than it needs to.
No job is too big or small. Whether you just have one radiator that doesn’t seem to be heating at the same rate as the others, or an entire office building that needs balancing across several floors, there are Taskers in our community who will be happy to help.
