Don’t worry some mystical power hasn’t bestowed Fulwell with gorgeous weather (you can tell I’ve been watching too much Buffy the Vampire Slayer….). We actually have a warm kitchen.
I should explain. When we bought the house we replaced the small kitchen radiator for a larger one. For as long as either of us can remember it has always been cold in the winter and hot in the summer.
We thought it was due to it being the last radiator on the central heating system so only got hot when the other radiators didn’t need the heat. Hence being hot in the summer.
Last night we noticed that the radiator was cold at the top and warm at the bottom so guessed it must have an air lock.
When the boiler man came back to tidy up any loose ends this afternoon he asked if everything was working ok so we mentioned the radiator.
It turns out that there wasn’t an air lock after all but a blockage.
For the first time in 11 ½ years we have a hot (and I mean hot) kitchen radiator.
Which means:
No more frozen pipes in the kitchen
No more using the electric fan to heat the room
Food taken out of the freezer will actually defrost
And most of all it won’t be warmer outside than in…..
