I'll try to make this my last heating question!
Having had some work done on our plumbing, which included a drain down and some new inhibitor (and a system filter), the plumber told me to bleed the rads after a day or two. So I did it earlier and was surprised to see that some of them shot out black water. I expected to see clear water so soon after the work. Does this sound ok?
A couple of other things I wanted to run passed you all if you don't mind...
- He said that because some of our rads are old, he would never use system cleaners as they might make them leak as they rust from the inside out)
- He said that balancing the rads (something he did for us) take about 2 minutes. We have 14 radiators.
- We put the heating on for the first time since he's been tonight and some of the rads are colder, especially at the bottom, than they were before. Not what I wanted after paying out all that money! Could this be due to something outside of his control or is it likely he's done something wrong?
I'll be calling up on Monday to discuss with the firm's boss but wondered what you think in the meantime...
Cheers
