Your Tasker will come equipped with the tools and knowledge required to bleed your radiators efficiently with minimal fuss and clean up. They’ll start by using a special radiator key to open a valve that allows excess water to be released, ridding the radiator of trapped air. They’ll have perfected this process so that there’s no spillage and will dispose of the waste water afterwards. This allows your radiators to heat up more quickly, saving you money on your energy bills while keeping your home heating system in good working condition. If the person carrying out the work is a qualified plumber then they may be able to advise you on why the radiators needed bleeding in the first place. While it's common to have to bleed radiators every few years, it might also be the sign of a leak in the heating system.

This will vary depending on the number of radiators you need bled. Often, a tradesperson will have a set rate for a callout which includes a certain number of radiators. For example, five radiators for €120. This will vary from person to person however, and the cost will be higher should you need additional work (e.g. a power flush of your heating system). For the most accurate quote it's best to speak to a Tasker.
Get quotes for radiator bleeding services in your areaStrictly speaking, you can bleed radiators at any time of year. However, it often makes more sense to bleed them during the warmer months as there will be less demand for heating services and more time to allow for any additional work that may need to be done before the cold weather sets in.
In general, bleeding radiators is a relatively straightforward maintenance job that should be done every year or two to keep your radiators in order. Excess water can often spill out during the process, but a professional tradesman will have everything they need to protect your floors and walls to leave your home as clean as they found it.
In most cases, the first radiator to be bled should be the furthest away from the boiler, and on the ground floor if you also have an upstairs area. A professional tradesperson will know the correct order to bleed radiators so you won’t have to worry about this.
Unless it is carried out as part of an agreed task that includes a boiler service/heat inspection by a licensed tradesperson, these are two separate jobs. Remember that anyone who carries out work on a gas boiler in Ireland must by RGI registered.
