If the radiator continues to heat poorly after bleeding, there are other more serious potential causes. Sludge accumulation is the most common. Over the years, the water in the heating circuit generates oxides and mineral deposits that settle in the radiators, especially at the bottom. This sludge reduces the effective water flow area and creates cold spots. The solution is a chemical flush of the entire circuit using a specific descaling product, introduced with the boiler off and circulated for several hours. It's completely drained before refilling with new water treated with a corrosion inhibitor.

The second common cause is a blocked or faulty thermostat valve. Modern thermostatic radiator valves have an internal pin that can seize after months of disuse (as happens every summer on the Costa Blanca when heating isn't used). To prevent this, it's advisable to move the thermostatic heads to their maximum and minimum settings every couple of months during the low season. If the valve is stuck, the head is removed, the pin is freed with a very gentle tap, or we replace the entire valve. A very cost-effective improvement is to install thermostatic heads on each radiator. Each room then has its own independent temperature control, allowing for different temperatures depending on usage (e.g., warmer in the living room when occupied, cooler in an unused guest room) and saving energy without sacrificing comfort. Installation is straightforward when radiators already have conventional valves: we simply replace the manual head with a thermostatic one. For apartments with a centralised communal boiler, the combination of thermostatic heads and individual consumption meters allows residents to pay exactly for the heating they use, which is much fairer than prorated charges based on surface area used when there are no meters. This is often a mandatory upgrade for many communities due to European regulations.

Aluminium radiators with low water content are the most efficient for most modern installations. They heat up and cool down quickly, allowing for precise hourly programming without compromising comfort. Panel-type steel radiators are a common alternative with a good price-quality ratio. For bathrooms, we recommend towel radiators that combine room heating with towel drying. The Costa Blanca climate influences everything in a garden. Long, dry, and very hot summers with little rain between May and September, and strong sun that bakes traditional lawns. A garden designed for Northern European climates, with lots of grass and soft-leaved plants, consumes a huge amount of water and suffers in July and August. That's why more and more clients are opting for low-water gardens: decorative gravel, Mediterranean plants (lavender, rosemary, oleander, cacti, and succulents), palm trees, and olive trees. Electric underfloor heating for a 90 m² home costs around 4,000 euros with zoned thermostats. Replacing individual radiators costs between 80-180 euros each, depending on size and model. A programmable thermostat with installation ranges from 120-280 euros, depending on the brand.

The cost for communal area cleaning in Sant Feliu de Llobregat typically ranges from 59 to 545 euros. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials used, and time required.
