FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of this radiator?

The GoodHome Wilsona Radiator has dimensions of 540mm in width and 1800mm in height.

Can I install this radiator myself?

Professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended due to the need for correct plumbing connections and to ensure safety and optimal performance.

What type of heating system is this radiator compatible with?

This radiator is designed for standard water-based central heating systems.

How often should I bleed the radiator?

You should bleed the radiator if you notice it is not heating up evenly, particularly if it's cold at the top. An annual check of your heating system is also advisable.

What maintenance is required for the white finish?

Regularly wipe the radiator with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners to preserve the painted surface.

Does this radiator come with valves?

Radiator valves are typically sold separately. Please check the product listing or contact customer support for specific details regarding included accessories.

Can I paint this radiator a different color?

While technically possible, it is not recommended as it could affect the heat output and may void the warranty. It's best to use it as intended or consult with the manufacturer.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up

Check if the central heating system is on and functioning. Bleed the radiator to remove any trapped air. Ensure the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is set to a higher temperature and is not fully closed.

Radiator is cold at the top but hot at the bottom

This indicates trapped air. Use a radiator key to carefully open the bleed valve at the top of the radiator until water starts to trickle out, then close the valve.

Leaking from connections

Immediately turn off the water supply to the radiator if possible. Contact a qualified plumber to inspect and repair the connections. Do not use the radiator until fixed.

Noise from the radiator

Gurgling sounds often indicate trapped air and should be resolved by bleeding. Hissing sounds might relate to water flow issues or valve problems; consult a plumber.

Panel surface is damaged

For minor scratches, touch-up paint may be used. Significant damage may require professional assessment or replacement of the panel.
