If the radiator still heats poorly after bleeding, there are other, more serious possible causes. Sludge accumulation is the primary one. Over the years, the water in the heating circuit generates oxides and mineral residues that settle in the radiators, especially at the bottom. This sludge reduces the useful cross-section for water flow and creates cold spots. The solution is a chemical flush of the entire circuit with a specific descaling product, which is introduced with the boiler off and circulated for a few hours. It is completely drained before refilling with new water treated with a corrosion inhibitor.

For apartments with centralised communal boilers, the combination of thermostatic heads and individual consumption meters allows residents to pay for exactly the heating consumed in each home, which is much fairer than proportional distribution by surface area used when there are no meters. This is a mandatory improvement in many communities due to European regulations. A very cost-effective improvement is to install thermostatic heads on each radiator. Each room has its own independent temperature control, allowing different temperatures to be maintained according to use (warmer in the living room when occupied, cooler in an unused guest room) and saving energy without sacrificing comfort. Installation is simple when radiators already have conventional valves: we replace the manual head with a thermostatic one. Deep cleaning of the heating circuit water with a specific descaling agent to remove sludge and oxides. This is done every 7-10 years or when persistent cold spots occur.

Low-water-content aluminium radiators are the most efficient for most modern installations. They heat up quickly, cool down quickly, and allow for fine hourly programming without penalising comfort. Tubular panel steel radiators are a common alternative with good value for money. For bathrooms, we recommend towel rail radiators that combine room heating with towel drying. The climate of the Costa Blanca dictates everything done in a garden. Long, dry, and very hot summers, with little rain between May and September and a sun that punishes traditional lawns. A garden designed for a Northern European climate, with lots of lawn and soft-leaved plants, consumes an enormous amount of water and suffers in July and August. That's why more and more clients are opting for low-consumption gardens. Decorative gravel, Mediterranean plants (lavender, rosemary, oleander, cacti and succulents), palm trees, and olive trees. Annual gas boiler maintenance, between 90 and 130 euros including certificate. Repair of simple faults (sensor, valve, pressure switch), 80-180 euros plus parts. Complete replacement of a natural gas boiler with a condensing model, 1,400 euros including installation depending on brand and power.
