FAQs

What is the BTU output of this radiator?

The BTU output varies depending on the specific size and configuration. Please refer to the product specifications for the exact BTU rating relevant to your chosen model.

Can this radiator be used in a bathroom?

While the Kensal design is versatile, it is typically intended for living spaces. For bathrooms, ensure the radiator is rated for such environments, considering moisture resistance and appropriate safety standards.

Does it come with radiator valves?

Radiator valves are usually sold separately, allowing you to choose the style and type that best suits your heating system and décor.

How often should I bleed my radiators?

It's advisable to bleed radiators at least once a year, typically at the start of the heating season, or whenever you notice cold spots on the radiator surface.

What is the warranty period for this radiator?

Please consult the product documentation or the retailer for specific warranty information, as warranty periods can vary.

Can I paint over the existing white finish?

Yes, you can paint the radiator; however, use a paint specifically designed for radiators and ensure the surface is clean and dry beforehand. Avoid painting the thermostatic valve head if one is fitted.

Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up evenly

Bleed the radiator to release trapped air. If the issue persists, the lockshield valve may need adjustment by a professional.

Leaking from valves or connections

Ensure all connections are tight. If leaking continues, the valve may need replacing or professional attention.

Noise from the radiator

Gurgling sounds usually indicate trapped air (bleed the radiator). Clanking might suggest expansion/contraction or water flow issues, consult a plumber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation of the GoodHome Kensal Radiator should be performed by a qualified plumber. It requires connection to a central heating system. Ensure all valves are correctly fitted and the system is bled to remove any air.

Compatibility:

This radiator is compatible with standard central heating systems using water. Ensure your boiler has sufficient capacity and pressure to operate the radiator effectively. Check the radiator's BTU (British Thermal Unit) output against your room's heating requirements.

Care:

To maintain the pristine white finish, clean the radiator periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the paintwork. For deep cleaning, gently dust between the bars using a radiator brush or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.
