  1. James Winney Heating and Plumbing How to drain your central heating system?

  2. Overview In order to repair a leak, central heating systems must regularly be drained. It is important to consider that regular maintenance of your central heating system is required for it to last as long as possible. Your central heating system's performance depends on proper maintenance, and it should be drained and cleaned on a regular basis.

  3. Follow these steps: First Switch off the boiler. Put out the solid fuel fire if there is one. Shut off the water supply. Locate the drain-off valve and attach a hosepipe. Start bleeding your radiators. Open the drain valve and discharge the water. Refill your central heating system.

  4. Why you should do it? Maintenance isn't really the only excuse for the central heating to be turned off.  Draining the central heating system to drain the built-up sludge and lime-scale is also a smart idea. Not to mention the fact that some heating or boiler repairs can't be completed without shutting down the whole operation. Draining a heating system is often required. This may be that an agent has to be used to clean and wipe it out, removing sludge and other particles, or that a heater needs to be replaced.
